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.
Update
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.

Newest Update
Well I preferred the older design but it seems the changes reflect what newer chess apps use.
Recent 2.1 upgrade ruined the look, usefulness, board color and feel! How do I getold version back??
horrible upgrade, I’ll stop using them if I can’t get the old version back
GOAT
There is no chess trainer better than this app. Used it for years. Try it out and you won’t be misled. Thanks for keeping this up and American for as long as you have. God bless, and play chess. SHRED.
360 Chess mode?
The app works well on iPhone 17 series event though the update is a bit dated. Can we have 360 Chess option in our games? That randomised mode is frequently played in FIDE Chess tournaments these days, and I think it will be a good addition inside the app!
Old school
Cette appli est clairement has been, mais très sincèrement, elle cartonne ! Elle a tout ce qu'il faut pour jouer : analyse, coups conseilés, 2600 élo, possibilité de setup les coups pour les deux camps, ou faire des boards puis lancer la partie sur quelques problèmes à étudier, elle évalue votre jeu et adapte son niveau progressivement, c'est pas un coach, c'est pas chess.com, mais c'est quand même une super app, si vous dépassez le côté un "cheap".

Danke für die kontinuierliche Arbeit an der App!
Auch nach Jahren kontinuierliche Arbeit an der App! Und das kostenlos. Vielen Dank und weiter so!
Outdated App with Limited Features
I recently bought this chess application, and I must say I'm quite disappointed. The interface feels outdated, and it lacks many features that modern chess apps offer.
For example, there are no tutorials for beginners or advanced strategies, which makes it difficult for players to improve their skills. Additionally, the graphics and overall user experience could use a significant update to make it more engaging.
I believe this app has potential, but it needs a thorough revamp to compete with more current options on the market. I hope the developers consider these improvements in future updates.

Best of the Best
Look no further! Shredder Chess is the GOAT
Best Choice
I have had this program for so many years that I have gone through not just on my PC but to iPhone and on my MacBook. I recommend this program 100%
thanks for the voiceover accessibility
Shame on the other chess app developers who neglect and disregard the blind chess players being lazy to make their apps accessible for the visually impaired.
Great app, but got puzzle scoring problems
I love this app, have been using it for years. However, there has been a long standing problem with the way it calculates scores for puzzles. In particular, not all puzzles get included in the scoring. Sometimes you can play a few and the scores never get updated. Or sometimes you solve a few puzzles with the top score, but your average score actually goes down. I usually reset my score after every 100 puzzles, and so it’s not that hard to see whether it’s updating it and if it’s accurate. I’ll be happy to give it 5 stars if this gets fixed.

Best chess app hands down
I have tried every one I could find sand nothing beats this. The puzzles it gives you to solve are great and if you think it is wrong and your solution is better it lets you convert the puzzle to challenge the computer and it's always right.
Still rocks after 2 years of no updates
I believe this is my best purchase on a chess app on IOS. I spent $7.99 in Feb of 2013 for this and after 10 years and many IOS version updates Shredder chess still is my go-to chess app for puzzles, playing, and learning. 1000 puzzles is a lot, and the best thing is I can continue playing against the engine at the position where the puzzle is solved for endgame practice.

Avoid this App
This app is defective on many levels eg
- declares draws when clearly not the case. There was only the black king on the board with 3 white queens, white rook and White Castle and it declared a stalemate draw
- advised me to take back a checkmate move
- frequently offers poor suggested moves
- doesn’t clearly show when you have been put in check
- no explanation on puzzles
The list goes on. Don’t waste your money like I did. Get something else

Sehr gute App!
Perfekt zum Spielen und Trainieren für alle Spielstärken! Lohnt sehr - nutze die App seit Jahren!
Simply the best. I've tried the rest
This is hands down the
absolute best chess app ever. I tried every one over the years and this is the best there is. It will give you chess problems to solve and let you stop in the middle and play that position from either side. I cannot say enough about the thought that went into this app. Very versatile and fast. Thanks for making it so intersectional. I love the problems and use them every day to stay sharp.
