User Reviews

Users like the ChessUp board quality and learning features, but common complaints include login loops, app instability, inconsistent Chess.com integration, and lack of landscape support on iPad. The hardware and lessons are strong assets, but reliability and cross-device connectivity need work.

Pros

High-quality ChessUp board hardware that users enjoy and find enhances play.
In-app lessons that sync with the board and effectively aid learning.
Stand-alone app play with bots and handicap options, helpful for beginners.
Strong Chess.com integration for online play when it works.

Cons

Sign-in and password/login loops causing repeated access issues.
App stability problems: lag, unresponsiveness, freezes and slow analysis loading.
Chess.com integration described as beta or unreliable and sometimes nonfunctional; inconsistent experience.
No landscape (horizontal) mode on iPad and UI/layout difficulties in landscape.
Board-to-app linking/connection problems that prevent setup.

I got the ChessUp board a few days ago and I’m already enjoying the app and chessboard so much. Definitely a 10/10

My board stopped working. Lighting is nowhere to be found. I’ve contacted support and they don’t even get back to you. I wish there was another app to connect to their board. This is basically a firmware update that’s messing up with the experience, and i can’t use my super expensive board anymore. 🤦‍♂️
