Ratings and reviews

The app itself is great compared to most chess apps, but my main issue is that there aren't enough similar skilled players to go up against, and this doesn't provide a good experience for me and other highly skilled players. For example everytime I join an event, I have to wait an extremely long time to play against someone, and most of the time I can't even play one match, meaning I can't participate in the event, and thus I get no trophys.

I love this game. Why there is a limit for number of favorite games? It should be unlimited. Please provide flexible storage space for saving favorites, which will expand gradually for those who save more games and default limit for the rest. Secondly, When we share a game to someone, it should open in Chess Time Live app itself. Also, there should be an option to highlight games.

GOOD: The app records every game with every player, so you can go back and see your good and bad moves. This will help you get better. It also allows for Chess960, which is nice. You can play with random players with your choice of between 1 and 45 minutes on the clock. I'd reccomend this. BAD: The same full-screen video ads come on after every game. You can't save games to your device.
