Ratings and reviews

The app is good and my 6 year old picked up a few moves faster than what I would have taught him. The pass and play part is mostly good. For the downsides, I cannot find or add any of my kid's friends online so he doesn't get to play with them unless they visit. Also, puzzles without a clear objective is not what a kid is expected to solve (and some of the puzzle solutions are not even the best move). The puzzles vary between one/two step moves and something that needs six steps.

A good app, however I would like to know if or and how you can change the colours of the pieces, but if you cannot I would recommend adding that in the next update, I appreciate there are no ads too. Normally, I hate chess, but this app has increased my interest in the game. The only problem my mom and I have found is we have gotten the gold membership, but we are having trouble unsubscribeing. Otherwise a grate app love the puzzles and videos and games with real people, I highly recommend! ♟️♟️

I don't get why there's no moving back after Checkmate. My boy loves this app, but it never lets him discover alternatives after he loses, and it's hard for him to discover his mistakes and learn how to beat the harder levels so he's stuck and unable to progress. He doesn't speak English, so the "he should watch the lessons" is not a useful answer. He also doesn't read yet, so please, explain it to me in such a way that I can justify it to my 6 year old child and my wallet.
