2024-11-19	Nu*****	doesnt recognize and open pgn files.
doesnt recognize and open pgn files.
2024-03-31	Jü*****	Good concept. Be careful! If you play on the internet and during the game you log in to see your game on the phone too, the server disconnects your laptop from the game. There is nowhere warning about such a behaviour. I am updating the grade of the app from 1 point to 5 points. The flaws were the flaws of the FICS and ICC servers, the Android app is OK. This app contains excellent tactics section. Very good puzzles from the games of famous chess masters!

2023-10-27	Ja*****	Love the graphics. The game engine is strong enough for me, a rank amateur who used to be an expert. Inriitice interface.

2023-07-03	BA*****	I have used this app for years, and I recommend it. Since I installed it on my Samsung S22 Ultra, it won't save games to a PGN file, but that's my only issue. Otherwise, 5 stars.

2023-02-01	J.*****	A chess game that allows you to carry out all the important functions of paying chess: analyzing, learning, online playing, etc., without letting its usable interface get in your way. It can connect to millions of databesed games, it can do some analysis, it has a manageable strengh engine, it has an easy to use 3D interface without prompts and dialogue boxes to get in yor way. I had it installed with other chess apps for a long time, and it turns out to be the most stable of such apps.

2023-01-20	Ma*****	I purchased the pro version as I loved the board themes but since I changed my smartphone I simply cannot open my pgn files anymore. Now I'm using the free version so I can review my games.

2022-04-29	Da*****	I regret spending money on this app. I cant use the server unless I use an old username that traumatizes me. I cant delete old account. They wont let me make a new one. I don't even want to play the com anymore. This is depressing.
