Ratings and reviews

App doesn't send notifications after the recent update. The same is for the Apple store version.

Dont download!!!!The problem with this game is the lack of monitoring. The programming is fantastic. I'm stuck in a game with ( kartista) who knows he/she has lost but will wait until the last hour after 4 days without moving to offer a draw. If you decline the draw he/she wont move for another 4 days..its ridiculous. we cant fix this. Update 2/20.. I've emailed the customer service twice and still haven't received a response. They simply don't care, dont download this app.

8/12/25 Updating my review based on the speedy reply from app support that resolved the issue. Taking the time to reply&help resolve is greatly appreciated, thank you! 8/11/25: System issue!.. current user of Chess by post for a number of years. Recently i have been experiencing the app sticking & giving me a message to refresh, but there is no refresh button within the app. I went to the play, store uninstalled it and reinstalled it. However, now when I attempt to log in and unable to.
