This app is incredibly easy to use and it's super simple to play a quick game and connect with people. I also enjoy how well monitored the app is, so if people are misusing it it gets taken care of. I would appreciate if they had more free perks instead of needing a premium membership, but you can still get plenty out of it without paying for anything.

paid version puzzles are not worth the money. lichess has more variety of puzzles and is free. game review is very nice though although it seems limited, specifically, it is odd that it will only show you the best moves by each player's about 3 or 4 moves in advance as opposed to the entire rest of the game. it would be awesome if stockfish was included more in the game reviews

Thank you for this detailed feedback. Game Review variations are designed to end on the key move that demonstrates the resulting position. However we'll keep making optimizations!

The game will force abandon you if you don't play fast enough to it's liking. I still had 2 minutes left on a 3|2 game. This is not the first time either. As a fellow dev, wow. I hope it was AI generated or something because I never said anything about crashing. It does it by design. I have seen it happen to my opponents too. Stop force abandoning games, we were just thinking and still had plenty of time on the clock.

Sorry for the difficulties! A game ends early after disconnection so that players won't have to wait for the time to run out in case the opponent has left the game. However, it should be possible to reconnect within 10% of the initial game time. Please visit this link for assistance: www.chess.com/support
