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

As a rule, I don't prefer to give any Apps 5 stars, firstly, I feel all Apps could use improvements, secondly too many 5 star ratings, and soon the developers become complacent. If there was a 4 and1/2, that's what I would rate this app, 4.5 stars. To who ever said he was playing using this App in AI Mode, you are sadly mistaken! 'CHESS TIME' *DOES NOT* have AI Mode! That being said, 'CHESS TIME LIVE' probably does. I hate CHESS TME LIVE! Why is 'CHESS TIME' 4.5 stars? ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 Download it and see! I'll be perfectly upfront! This is a chess app, that if I could give an analogy, the analogy is that it would be a digital version of playing chess through the mail. The minimum amount of time that is allowed is 24 hours. The max i believe is a month, but don't quote me in that. I play 48 hr games. There are ratings, though I don't see the validity in the ratings, since anyone using 'CHESS TIME' can be using books, software and other things to analyze any game. I play people from across the globe, I chat with one or two people occasionally. Overall, this is a simple app with a simple interface! This app allows for learning and also enjoying the brilliant game of chess!

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.
