Best $1 I’ve ever spent in my life

Incredibly fun. I’ve been playing for a full decade now. And just in the past few years he dropped an amazing new game mode out of nowhere for free!

Игра вылетает

Айфон 7 plus захожу игра вылетает я обновила игру с интернетом все нормально но все равно вылетает

Great but bad ads

One of its ads is a scam beware says your acct has been restricted and tries to get you to click on a link

Funny game, lol

Also the new patchwork for newer iphones made the game stop working on my VERY old iphone🙏(its an iphone 8) could you please fix it? Thanks

Really Bad Ads

Ads lately have been more scam-y than usual. I am deleting.

Great Game (if you play the old version)

I’ve been an avid player of this game for years, and have gotten lots of enjoyment from playing your game, Zach. You might have even seen me if you play the Weekly Challenge mode and check the leaderboards, (hi, I’m AmyRoseFan on the leaderboard!) and I’m making this as a PSA to anyone coming here because of the recent updates or for anyone who has not yet updated their game, and my message is simple: DO NOT UPDATE YOUR GAME.

I play this game on an old iPhone 8 running a version of iOS that is beyond outdated, because I have paranoia about updating the iOS version and losing access to old apps I have because they’re no longer supported, and I found out the hard way that my version of iOS cannot run the newest version of this game at all. This is because that for all versions beyond 1.4.7, the version of iOS that I run is incompatible with this app. All it does is open and immediately crash. It’s a shame, because I wanted to try out the new game mode and see if I could finally hit rank 100 in ranked mode, (I’m at 96) but I guess I’ll have to do that when my current device bites the dust.

If you have this issue as well, or you simply want to go back to the old version, look up a program called iMazing on your computer, set it up, hook up your device with it, and use the library tab in the “Manage Apps” option, found under Quick Actions once you’ve selected your device, and right click on the app to find the “Show Available Versions” option. Use that to roll back the game version to the version of your choice. Very useful program. This game is a ton of fun, and I will continue to enjoy it on the old version, but unfortunately, the newest versions are unplayable on old hardware.

App won’t open on iOS 15.8.7

I’ve been using this app for several years and I’ve enjoyed it. But ever since the recent update it will not open on my older iPads. It says it requires iOS 13 or later, but that is incorrect. Please fix the app so it works on the older devices!

Fail

First update in 4years or so, now the game closes instantly after opening. 🙁

it won't load

please help fix it

New animation is terrible

I don’t know why the developer felt like they needed to mess with the piece movement animation, but it sucks. Give us the option to turn off this horrible animation, it’s distracting.

Infinite loop - still not fixed after 4 years

When playing the computer, it will occasionally enter an infinite loop of one or two moves where it is impossible to checkmate but can keep you in check. There needs to be a draw or restart in this situation else the computer will go forever.

Really Great Game

!

My favorite game. That deleted all my progress on update

It’s a 5/5 game. I tell everyone that. But I paid for the advanced features but the new update deleted all of that and my progress and wants me to re purchase again.

Layout gone haywire

Played this daily but I think latest update is not iPhone 17 pro max compatible. Unplayable

Can’t zoom out

I literally can’t zoom out of the game to ensure I’m playing it
