Doesn’t work

I got charged multiple times and apple makes it very hard to get in touch with a rep to help you get your money back . Starting to not like iOS, if you owe a PENNY you can’t download an app, when you bought the phone !!!!! Crazy

If only I could play it…

I really want to try this game and see what it has but every time I finish the cutscene I get an error talking about my internet even though I’m making this from the same connection. Which is a shame because this game looks like it has really good graphics. But since I can’t play it I can’t give it more than two stars.

It used to be good… but

It used to be my son’s favorite chess game, but now it says there is no internet even when tests say it is working fine. I even deleted and reinstalled the app but the problem persists. Please update the app.
