*2019-01-25*

Please add autosave. At least ask before starting new game!! I lost my game record this way.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I want in a chess app!

*2017-09-22*

Things I love about Shredder compared to other apps:
- Auto skill adjustment.
- It’s FAST! Even on my old 5s.
- You can play with no time limit. It’s surprising how almost no apps offer this.
- Different play styles.
- Simple interface. Most apps hide dozens of options in cumbersome menus.

### 5/5 — Simply the best chess APP

*2017-06-26*

The best chess APP ever made!

### 4/5 — Great app, but need updates

*2016-07-25*

I really like Shredder Chess app, I bought for iPhone and iPad, I guess is the best chess app for iOS, but even good apps have to update to adapt the new. I have an iPhone 6 plus, w/ 5.5' screen and the app shows the same interface that is present in the smaller screens, neither the quality of the pieces assets are in better shape.. Please, update to the bigger screens.

### 1/5 — Do something for me.

*2014-07-22*

I played light version and it was great. So I bought this. It shows like downloaded. But I can not find any icon. So it's unplayable.

### 1/5 — Lixo

*2014-01-31*

So oponentes do pc!! Não tem multiplayer, app trava!!
