Ratings and reviews

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.

works well on Android....Definitely an upgrade from older version years ago when I used to play this app. Now its awesome inall aspects. i will purchase paid version just to support the maker of this app!! my next pay check in 2weeks for sure...if you know chessbypost from years ago, you know they put much effort into the detail of upgrading this app. would love to have the ability to play (1day game mode) just an idea maybe for the paid version....thx 4 taking the time & effort 5💫

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.
