User Reviews

The app is praised for its user-friendly interface, strong graphics and chess analysis, and long-term reliability, with some users enjoying turn notifications and responsive support. However, several recurring problems impact usability: account management is frequently problematic (creating accounts, password resets, logging out, or deleting accounts), the app can be unstable and block starting new games, and there are timing and scoring glitches (timers not ending and incorrect draw handling). Some users note helpful support, but authentication, stability, and core gameplay bugs need attention.

High-quality graphics and chess analysis.
Long-term reliability; appreciated by users who have played for years.

Cons

Login and account management problems, including failing to create an account, password reset issues, and inability to delete or log out.
App instability that prevents starting new games and occasional system-wide issues.
Timing and scoring bugs, such as timers not ending a game and draw handling being incorrect.
