Keeps freezing and crashing phone

Send your coder back to school, vibe coding would produce better results

Very nice game

Simple, beautiful, easy, and non disruptive ads

Pocket chess

A fun way to practice!!

Repeatedly crashes phone

Great idea but freezes/crashes phone regularly

good game

I'd like the pieces to change with additional indicators, my knights pawns are queens all the time

Save Progress

Interesting and stimulating game, but please allow progress to be saved online.

Too many ads

Too many ads. Also hints are too expensive

Was good but now freezes and flashes

Not sure if the new update is stable. The app will randomly freeze then crash. It also has moments of intense flashing too

I like it but

The app crashes randomly. The puzzles are great but when it crashes my phone is completely locked for a minute or so.

Needs more levels

This is a very fun game to play with some challenging chess puzzles, although you need to pay money to get rid of adds which pop up quite frequently and once you complete 1010 levels there aren’t any more, i finished this very quickly and isn’t that fun anymore because there’s nothing to do anymore

Money grabbing

Hints realistically cost real money, so you soon get stuck with no way out, as it is a set list of puzzles that you cant skip without solving, avoid…

Thinks

This app really makes you think!

Excessive ads

New update added random ads that pop up mid game without warning

Was awesome

This was my favorite puzzle game until 3 months ago. Now it crashes and locks up the phone for 30ish seconds all the time. I keep trying though, hoping a fix has happened because it really is fun.

Crashes

Just downloaded today and was enjoying the initial game but now it keeps crashing.

Love the puzzles

Would be nice to change colors tho.

USED to be stable, but now crashes frequently

I cleared all the levels and started over again. This app used to run great, but I don’t know what service they’ve partnered with, but the some of the ads in this game outright crash this app. Not the video ads—the BANNER ads. I hope they address this issue soon.

Update: “Restore Purchase” does NOT work anymore.

Inaccurate

Simple checkmates not legal.

Technical glitches

Gets stuck every 20-30 seconds, poorly programmed

It’s what it says it is

It’s a simple, fun, thoughtful chess puzzle game. It’s not overmonetized. It’s not trying to upsell clothing or costumes or chessboards. It’s just a straightforward, engaging, pretty chess puzzle game for ads or $5.
