Ratings and reviews

The game review feature is useless. The app frequently thinks that opponent pieces are free when they're clearly defended and there have been several instances when it told me I had an opportunity for a checkmate when I absolutely did not. Other than that it's a pretty solid experience. I like being able to play with bots, friends and strangers and the puzzles are fun. Good for beginners even if the coaching is lackluster.

so the game experience is really good but I have noticed multiple time it says you are in check when you are not. At first I thought maybe I'm missing something but I'm not. It's a missed algorithm or whatever. It should be fixed. It's what is stopping me for paying for the whole experience of the app. edit. how do u contact support? I see this particular thing happening everyday.

I honestly love this app a lot, definitely the best way to play chees mobile or on pc. My only complaints are that the app is a bit unrefined in some ways. when a game ends the coach voice interrupts my music by lowering the volume, which would be fine if it didn't make me close the app to get it back to normal. There are no major problems, but I think it just could be refined a bit.
