Crashes Repeatedly

Hot Garbage - freezes repeatedly. Have to restart every couple moves. Unreliable undo. No fun.

Was good. Unplayable now

Enjoyed this as a fun way to train chess moves. Came back to it after a year long break and it literally freezes my whole phone up no matter what. It is quite literally an unusable app and nothing seems to be done about it.

This Game Freezes so Much

I like the game a lot, but I keep having to kill the app because it freezes all of the time. Itโ€™s the only app I have that freezes constantly.

Fun game

I liked it, but it literally freezes my phone, to the point I need to do a hard reboot. Not good.

App keeps crashing!

Please update your app it keeps crashing and freezing my phone!
