Don't use this app; it’s the worst. They are just taking people's money. If you win a match, you only get 1 or 2 points, but if you lose, they deduct 36 points. There aren't even many players available. Additionally, there are frequent technical issues where you play and win, but the match doesn't even count toward your score. It’s a very bad platform.

game works super super slow in Tournament mode even on fast network.. there is visible lag in GUI updates. in normal mode game works good most bugs are resolved but please fix the tournament mode. It lags like pathetic and by any chance if i am on slow network that time the moves are like taken back every time when network returns. looks like there is no buffer provided for game where the moves shall be stored and sent to server when network connects back. kindly fix.. rating systems r confusing

stopped working on Android 16 + Motorola razor flip ( along with many other issues with this combo). The app worked fine up until today, perhaps an update. The board and interface are rendering incorrectly — parts of the screen are cut off or misaligned depending on orientation. This appears to be a display/scaling issue related to foldable devices. Restarting the phone or app only provides a temporary fix before the issue returns. Please investigate compatibility.
