Ratings and reviews

Like others said, this is historic and revolutionary in the chess world. I'd give five stars if it didn't make me reinstall and multiplayer was easier to set up with friends. There are also minor issues like the AI will sometimes move for me if I play a 3+ player game against AI and a few quality of life changes would be nice like reworking piece design and being able to collapse more things when creating boards. All in all nitpicks aside it's a great app that is in uncharted water. Solid A-

Tedious and generally a hassle to use, the UI is messy, some buttons are too small and I accidentally hit buttons next to it and I have to scroll up and down a lot. The ads glitch sometimes which causes me to lose my progress, and I can't even skip them. Also, you have to use an in-game currency to buy different piece designs, more customization being locked behind a paywall just defeats the purpose. Go download ChessCraft instead, it's more limited but higher quality.

decent amount of variants but the user interface is terrible and a terrible lack of options. can't tell you how often I am winning a game to suddenly tap the wrong piece and it's checkmate. no undue button really reduces the playability especially for newcomers in these variants as they are especially likely to have occasional screw ups.
