Great concept, poor implementation

I’ve had no end of trouble connecting to my chess.com account, because it uses an authentication method, not supported by the app so I had to create a new account entirely that used email authentication only. Lichess works better, but neither of these seem to have any games popping up recently, I wait forever, and just give up. I think the devs gave up on this product.

Wow - for the novice and Master

In my humble opinion, this is a great play-partner, trainer and opponent. Especially cool are when the pieces are moving on their own. Super value and looks great.

Love my grand kingdom & neo!

Love my grand kingdom & neo! Got them a couple of years ago. It’s worth it.

The update will not work

It won’t let me update my board

I have payed for 6 Mounths plus. Nothing recieved and since 2 weeks no answer on my mail…

This app is DEAD

Bought my grand kingdom set about 6 years ago. The board is cool, but the app is absolutely atrocious. Good luck finding anyone who will actually play against you in the square off app that isn’t cheating. If you do manage to pair against somebody (even if they are a cheater) consider yourself lucky. Most times I want to use this app I will wait for literal hours in between games. On top of that the support/ service side of square off does not care about you or their own product.

lol

I’m tired of getting pushed to this page after EVER SINGLE GAME. So here this is a review. Funny even after you leave a review it forces you back in case you wanna change your mind. If I could give no stars I would

App is good but…….

It’s good app but there’s a problem that if i want to play with someone playing in lichess & chess.con I can’t

Wow

Wow

profile ?

cannot make apple rofile without phone number. well, nope ;)

App analyzes wrong player

Every game it analyzes my opponent like it’s me. No obvious way to fix it.

Fun at chess!

Love playing against AI!such a delight!

Keeps asking me to rate the app after each game

I don’t appreciate the pop up. I already rated it five stars before but I still get the freaking pop up after every game. It’s annoying

Not a bad concept - poor execution

I purchased the Square Off Pro with extremely high hopes for it. The App is okay at best, nowhere near as good as popular chess apps like Chess.com or Lichess. Also, canceling a Plus subscription is an absolute pain.

Not compatible with Chess.com

I bought it to use with my chess.com account.
It has worked for 1 year but it isn’t anymore.
I want my money back!

Grand Kingdom chess set

I have had the Grand Kingdom chess set for several years. It has been working perfectly. Lately I had a software glitch. I emailed support and they contacted me and resolved the issue very quickly. I was impressed with their knowledge and response.

Too old

This app has not been updated for a couple of years now and it is too slow missing various functions and features!

Moves don’t get registered

There are times when opponent makes a move on chess.com or lichess which do not register on the Square-off board and you get the impression that opponent is still thinking and as a result you wait for his move until you run out of time and lose. Also it is not possible to analyse games played on lichess or chess.com on the square-off board.

Square off

Très bonne application

No Chess.com

Since some updates to Chess.com, it is no longer possible to play on Chess.com. Since the app hasn't had an update in 6 months, I'm thinking of ditching the Squate Off Pro for a device that will be directly compatible with Chess.com.
