Review summary

Users broadly praise Chess for solid gameplay, educational approach, sharp graphics, and a compact, easy-to-use interface. The app offers puzzles, online play, and a game database. However, reviewers note recurring issues: inconsistent hints and the desire to disable hints during online matches; stability problems with loading games and occasional hangs; and calls for an engine upgrade to improve tactics and opening handling. Some mention minor feature gaps, but the core experience remains favorable.
