User reviews

Great app

I’ve been using it forever and the new update seems to work well. Sometimes you just want to play chess on an airplane without any distractions.

Don’t love the update

A really good chess app and a great way to learn the game or just play for fun. The recent update is just plain ugly and seems to have some glitches. I wish there were a way to keep the previous version.

Preferred older version

Been using this Shredder app for 10 years, I’m happy with it

Been using Shredder almost daily for 10 years maybe, mainly for solving chess puzzles, and also for playing against it. No WiFi or network connections are needed, so this app can be used everywhere, anywhere, like in the Underground, in the GP’s waiting room, etc. I never get tired of it. No internal issues, no bugs, no problems, no visible flaws… not a bad word to say about it, it’s just working great.
