## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Wrong board arrangement

*2024-09-01, version 1.1.42*

White pieces are in rank 8 and black pieces are in rank 1

White king is in white square and black king in black square.

### 1/5 — Restricted Moves

*2023-01-22*

Please enable a mode where you can move your pieces anywhere. There is a block on letting the opponent get your king, even accidentally, and it takes all the fun out of it.

### 1/5 — Crashes my iPhone

*2021-04-20, version 1.1.42*

Something i have never experienced before. Within 3 minutes of using this app my iPhone froze and i had to force restart the device. I have removed the app.

### 2/5 — Please add standard icon options.

*2023-02-23*

I

### 2/5 — Autorotate and standard icons

*2021-05-15*

Please ad options for standard piece images and more options for the board. Thank you, will purchase after

### 3/5 — take-back option, as well as input a pre-existing game

*2021-06-09*

Please add a take-back option (with settings for “disabled,” “by request,” or “automatic”), as well as one to input a pre-existing game for analysis.

### 5/5 — Great for playing with my son

*2022-12-28, version 1.1.42*

Great for playing with my son

### 5/5 — It’s good (with a small issue)

*2022-12-17*

This app is great for playing with another person. The small issue is that the ai is very easy to beat, and I’m an amateur beating the ai’s superior mode.

### 5/5 — Chess

*2021-09-11*

It is challenging

### 5/5 — Best chess app for table top games with friends

*2021-04-05*

So much good here... the unique symmetrical icons, the built in timer, the optional notation. No other chess app comes close in terms of quality local play, ease of use, and beauty. No problems yet. The fact that, as of this review, this app (and its ad-free alternative) have fewer than 40 combined reviews is positively criminal. Way to go, Adrian McPhee: hope to see more from you on the future.

*2021-03-02*

Tried a bunch out. This is the best for local play

**Developer response:** Thank you, enjoy!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-02-27*

This is a great app to play 2 player chess. All the other chess games are online and don’t support 2 player. this app is very underrated and I 100% recommend this for anyone who is interested in chess

**Developer response:** Thank you! Great to hear you are enjoying Two Player Chess!
