Ratings and reviews

Very buggy - I had to install it on an old phone just to create an account to be able to get in. The lessons themselves were pretty good, with one huge problem: minimal instructions as to WHY you had to move where they wanted you to move. If you didn't read their minds and move the extract piece just right, you had to do it over and over with NO explanation, just trial and error. That's lousy teaching. It would be MUCH better if after 3 failed attempts, they gave the option to explain why.

Graphics, customization, and connection to the show are 5-star, but the actual chess is 1-star. Takes ages to find a game, and if you wait too long you get paired with a bot pretending to be a player. UI is clunky. Only one terrible time control. Players can leave a game and their opponent has to wait up to 10 minutes for victory. Games with no moves aren't abandoned, white is resigned resulting in a loss. The list goes on.

Love the app!! Only a 3 star because I need to clear all data then open it then it works. That's after the download screen. Once I can play it's a really good experience. You can pick on how much you know of chess and the game will adjust. Love the reward system. Get coin to buy chess sets backgrounds and so much more. 5 star when the is cache thing is fixed
