User Reviews

Overall, users love the app’s simple, elegant UI, reliability over many years, and the ability to play with friends or people worldwide. They value learning features, including game analysis and studying past games, and the undo/reverse move option. The biggest complaints are intrusive updates that flood users with ads, concerns about cheating and the lack of a clear reporting path, and several bugs affecting gameplay (notably on iPhone Air) and rare king/queen switch or draw issues. Some users also dislike the analyzer giving an unfair advantage and miss features like watching games or an ad-free option.

Pros

Easy to use with an elegant, simple UI
Long-term reliability and a global community for playing with friends and strangers
Educational features including game analysis and learning from past games
Strong social/play appeal; connect with friends and players worldwide
Helpful features like reverse/undo moves

Cons

Intrusive ads and updates that flood the screen (including after-move Safari ads)
Concerns about cheating and lack of clear reporting mechanisms
Bugs and instability across devices (e.g., display issues on iPhone Air; rare king–queen switch and draw glitches)
Analyzer-based imbalance and matchmaking issues (advantage to users with analysis tools)
Missing features (watching/inviting friends to watch games) and desire for an ad-free option

Okay, normally i love this game. Ive been playing their “AI Mode” on hard mode for a week, and caught it on camera cheating. That is wild. I wish there was a spot to upload because that means there are people in game who can cheat as well. Crazy.

I play a lot of blitz on the bigger chess apps, but Chess Time was recommended to me by a friend who wanted to play a longer game. I started using it a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. It’s a part of my daily life and I’m really grateful for the quality and simplicity of the gaming experience. Thank you, Chess Time!
