Ratings and reviews

the update is great except for the board is too small when playing on my phone. on tablet it looks good.

I've used RedHotPawn for 10+ years and this app is a great extension from the website. Controls are easy to use, plenty of different options for customization of appearance, and choices for how long you want to allow on moves so you can partner with a player who plays at a similar pace. I like being to play anywhere and you can make friends chatting through the message system.

Nice app. I have noticed only three problems: 1) It seems to allow making illegal moves. If these can be sent also, one may lose a game. 2) In the case of a long press, the piece is activated on the analysis board. I have managed to eliminate the piece from the board without being able to put it back. Then, one must go back. 3) Backwards button on the analysis board does not take a move back but leads to the beginning of the variation. Everything else is comfortable and fine!
