What's New in Tempo64

3.7

August 11, 2026

v3.7 — Move history + review during play, online draw offers, commentary reference card. PLAY A GAME Three new things across every playable surface — Play a Bot, Pass and Play, Online with a Friend, and Puzzles. Drag and drop is here: pull a piece with your finger to move it, or keep using tap-and-tap if you prefer — both work. Haptic feedback confirms every pickup and commit. A scrubbable move list sits at the top of the board with prev / next arrows so you can step back through the game mid-match without losing your spot. Tap any move to jump to that position; the board becomes read-only until you swipe forward to the live frame or the next move commits. When the game ends, tap "See analysis" on the finish sheet to drop straight into Game Review — eval sparkline, blunders flagged, best-move arrows on every move. Free tier: one review per day (same daily gate that already applies elsewhere). Studio: unlimited. ONLINE PLAY Playing a friend online? You can now offer a draw. Tap Offer Draw, your friend gets a prompt on their side, and if they accept the game ends ½–½ for both of you. Declined offers clear themselves after a few seconds so you can try again later. Friend invite links also open the app more reliably now — even on the first tap after a fresh install. COMMENTARY When you open the recording sheet on any move, a reference card now shows the move in plain English — "Black's bishop captured White's queen on d1" — so you always know exactly what to talk about before you hit record. If engine analysis has run, a quality badge (!! / ! / ? / ??) appears in the corner. POLISH - The captured-pieces row wraps to a second line in long endgames instead of pushing the board around. - The board no longer jumps a few pixels between "your turn" and "bot is thinking" in Play a Bot and Online Friend games. - The Start Game button on the Play a Bot setup screen stays pinned to the bottom as you scroll through difficulty and think-time settings.

User reviews

Great chess app and easy content builder

Easy to use chess app. Makes creating content very easy.

My new favorite chess app

This is seriously amazing how easy it is to make videos out of my games and they come out so great. Love the auto sound effects.

Simplistic, intuitive and really funny.

I’m a big fan of this app, finding a chess app that doesn’t give you the run around is rare these days. The functions are intuitive and easy to adapt to, the fun sound additions heighten the experience as does the satisfying haptics. To me the real MVP is the review portion where it highlights blunders and wins from throughout the previous game🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽, like I said Big Fan!

Getting me views on Tiktok!

I recently started using this app and it’s been pretty good. I’ve been getting thousands of views on the posts with a brand new account within a week.

Feedback - It’d be great if there was a feature for showing great moves automatically and the option for recording little video clips after certain chess moves of my choosing.
