Ratings and reviews

An alleged "upgrade" to the previous chess24 app, which had some bugs (eg the engine would often refuse to start when analysing puzzles). The solution in the new app? Remove the functionality so there are no bugs in that area! Also, the puzzle functionality and user interface is not as good as it was in the previous version. Hence 1 star. It's a pity, because it had the makings of a great app, and I can't believe that the bugs were too difficult to fix.

Much better interface than the previous version. I'm waiting on the tablet version of this app. While it's just recently released, a few bug fixes as listed by other reviewers could make take this app to the top spot over lichess and it's main competitor. Personally I'd be more inclined to sign up for a premium account if the tablet version (properly modified for tablets) is bug free and carries the same interface. As it stands this version trumps the old version.

Update: The developer has implemented most of the things mentioned and it now flawless. Great app. The UI is very nice. There have been massive improvements over the previous app. However, there are so many features which are missing. For example, inability to use engine for analysis, a feature to review failed puzzles, tournament links, etc. I'm sure the chess24 dev team is working on these but these features are somewhat essential.
