Notification

It’s pretty good so far but there is ALWAYS a notification on the app icon like it’s my turn or I have a new message. But it’s not and I don’t. Please tell me how I can make that go away.

This is the most user friendly chess app out there. Have tried them all but Social Chess is hands down the best!!

Show me better

The best free chess app there is. Bringing the world together to play chess. I have had many great games and met some great players through this app.

The best

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten SON JESUS CHRIST, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.AMEN.

Won’t open

Well I was enjoying this. The chess boards were large and easy to use. I liked the turn based games. But a few days ago, with games in progress the app suddenly stopped opening. I checked the app requirements and it still said iOS version 15 or higher, and I have 15.5.0 so that didn’t explain anything. I don’t know what you did but it keeps me from opening now. Fail.

Junk app

Engine cheats galore - no way to report suspicious accounts.

Thank you!!! Social Chess

I’ve used the site for 3 yrs now and am thoroughly satisfied:), most times I can find a game within a minute or less, with a solid opponent that’s within my skill range.

I’ve been on the app for years and love it

Best chess game ever

No pop ups, no ads, great players and can play with family and friends no matter where u are in the world.

Great game and format

It’s awesome that you can play anyone around the world at different skill levels levels!!!

There are 1000 better chess apps than this one

There are 1000 chess apps and each on of them are better than this one. Ugly and unintuitive design. The chat section is toxic. Inaccurate ratings. Just trash app.

Haptics are awful

Trash smells better than this game, the interface needs serious updates and the tactile can make u make a wrong movement if u r not careful, I play in two different devices and it happens the same, ip16 pmax and iPad Pro 5th it’s not a device problem, more than once I’ve made the wrong movement because of it, the clock goes on its own and is not internet i have 1.2gbs is just is trash
Unfortunately must people won’t read reviews and the store will ditch reviews like this

Terrible update

Used to be a decent app. Ruder and ruder people now. Recent update has clock issues, not worth paying for.

Impossible to play games with others.

Wasted so much time even after tagging friends no one gets alerted to new games and new games don’t show up. Deleting.

Perfect

No ads. I wish there were apps this well-made for everything.

Haptics are awful

I’ve been playing for month the interface needs serious updates and the tactile can make u make a wrong movement if u r not careful, I play in two different devices and it happens the same, ip16 pmax and iPad Pro 5th it’s not a device problem, more than once I’ve made the wrong movement because of it
