I really enjoy the features and being able to play against real people but it's really frustrating when people keep abandoning games the moment I have the upper hand. I feel like it makes the experience sour and overall makes me feel frustrated that the app doesn't do more to mitigate this like freezing people accounts for 24 hours if the abandon more than 2 or more games in a row or SOMETHING idk.

Thank you for this feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when players stall in losing positions. We're working to expand our automated detection of this behavior, and we impose restrictions or even account closure for frequent stalling. You can tap a player's avatar to report this issue, and we'll take action as soon as possible!

Used this app as a platinum subscriber for 2-3 years. In that time, the price has more than doubled, and now there's an even higher subscription tier necessary to be able to review games the way I could before this update. I like chess, and this has been a great app for it, but it's gotten too greedy for casuals. Either stay free and accept limited puzzles and manual reviews, or expect to be fleeced.

Our membership pricing has adapted over time as a result of offering new features, improvements on existing features, premier chess event coverage, chess content, and more chess games than every before (10s of millions per day!) We appreciate your feedback on this, and we'll continue to explore options for the future.

Great opportunity to play opponents world-wide, with choices of time between moves, opponent level of play, etc. Also can play against computer at chosen level. Can review games and get comment on each move. Daily puzzles, and trainings. And this is all with the Free version. Can get even more features if upgrade with reasonable monthly fee.

What's new

Hey, chess-lovers! This new version brings improvements and fixes throughout the app - and some great new features too!

* Level up your Puzzle practice by earning points for every correct move. Keep solving to advance and earn new scoring bonuses!
* Game Review now estimates your rating in that match - and shows how well you played at each stage of the game!
* In Daily Chess, you can now "program" moves to be triggered automatically when your opponent makes a move you expected!

Thank you!
