User Reviews

Deep Green is praised for its beautiful design and engaging chess experience, with a strong engine and long-standing presence. However, multiple reviews cite a major learning drawback after recent updates—loss of undo/replay—along with widespread crashes and a disliked redesign that replaces the green, wood-like board with a stark white interface. Additional usability/UI regressions and device-compatibility concerns are also recurring. Overall: strong visuals and play quality are marred by stability, feature-loss, and design changes.

Pros

Gorgeous, simple visuals and sound; an aesthetically pleasing interface.
Solid chess engine with accessible difficulty and enjoyable play for casual and more skilled players.
Longstanding, trusted presence with ongoing updates and a lasting user base.

Cons

Loss of undo/replay functionality after updates, which hurts learning and practice.
Frequent crashes and instability (mid-game crashes, unresponsive behavior).
Drastic redesign that abandons the classic green/wood aesthetic for a lifeless white interface, reducing the app's character.
Post-update UI regressions and usability issues (unresponsive controls, navigation problems) and device-compatibility concerns.

Recent reviews

I used to love and play this chess app every single day. But, the latest update, 2/26, took away the ability to take back or replay moves, which completely takes away the game’s use as a learning tool. You can no longer back up and try different moves and outcomes. Features have been stripped away slowly for years, but this is the last straw for me. I’m now looking for another chess app. Very sad. :(
