Ratings and reviews

The graphics are simplistic, but fairly customizable. The fact that you don't need to give your email to create account is great. Ability to easily connect with friends without social media integration also a huge plus. Would be 5 stars but there are no settings to give players less than a 24 hours to make one move. It's simply maddening. Should be configurable to any amount of time agreed upon by both participants. HUGE flaw. Fix it, and you would have the best chess app in the whole store!

Overall the app is good. It does what it says: allow you to play correspondence chess with other people. I've never had an issue with miskeeping the time, finding other players, or legality of moves (although en passant hasnt come up yet). My issues are with the analysis board. You can move pieces but it doesn't keep track of move orders, illegal moves are allowed, and castling is a two move process. A new notification: xxx is waiting for your move... is annoying. Don't rush, my clock has time.

This is probably the best Chess app for extended play with friends. Have played several matches over months. Having time to think over your next move has made me a better player. The only suggestions I have: 1. Allow users to set custom reminders to make a move before time expires. 2. Add an alarm 1 hour before time expires. The current reminders are spaced too far apart to feel urgent. 3. Rematches for timed out games should be allowed to pickup from where it ended.
