- Connection drops cost you games.
- Cheating is a major problem.
- Phone gets hot and drains battery.
Great learning tool
The format and progression rate builds confidence quickly
Good for learning but…..
Sometimes (in chess lessons) computer repeats same movements / positions back to back many times until game draws because of threefold.
Chess game
Has games of chess and games with chess. Good stand alone chess training app. I think this could sharpen my game. 😎😎👽
Lessons do not teach you
I downloaded this as a beginner. The lessons give very unhelpful hints, you have to either pay for or win a lot of online games to get different kinds of lessons which is pretty difficult as a beginner. On top of that the lessons are just telling you the right answer, they don’t explain why at all. Imagine trying to learn math and all you were given is the equation and the answer and it’s your job to learn it. Horrid learning experience
FORCED AUDIO Ads
Seems like I’m getting almost entirely(like 95%) ads with forced audio now, and I’m just not going to deal with that for very long at all. I understand I can subscribe and eliminate ads. I understand ads pay your bills. And I was willing to sit through every single one while listening to my own music or show in the background. I’m already watching ads for games I won’t download. But I will also uninstall YOUR game and never return if I’m FORCED to LISTEN to each ad. No more booster pack purchases, no more telling my friends about your game. I hope this new trend ends soon, because I otherwise really enjoy this one. I’m happy to watch, but won’t ever stick around if I also am forced to listen.
Great for chess fans
This is a cool way to learn and brush up and keep your skills up
Trash
When I do level 1 on play vs comp, it’s very hard!
Chess universe app review
The app is good minus the adds
Good
It was fun playing until tooooo many ads was on sorry..!!😢
Unable to move pieces
In Bullet mode I have lost several games because I was unable to move my pieces with the first attempt and time expired. Believing it was my error I started moving faster and still had the same result. I had to tap the piece multiple times before being able to move. Also it would be nice to be matched with opponents with similar scores because if not the win to loss ratio points are not even worth playing and I’m spending more time canceling games till I’m matched with an appropriate opponent then playing.
Great game to play I learn a lot
The game is fun
Update
Why update requires money?! I’ve played many games on this site. It has been enjoyable! But now they want money! Therefore I will go to another chess site! I think you get enough money from ads! Bye fuegassi
Feature Suggestion: Persistent Social Lobby & Offline Friend Play
I love the UI of Chess Universe! I have a feature request: could we get a persistent 'Friend Mode'? It would be great to stay in a lobby or active challenge with a friend while browsing other menus or playing mini-games (like the Islands) simultaneously, without having to close the connection to my friend.
Cool idea but way too many ads
Interesting idea and fun app but far too many ads. Ads after every game you play and ads after doing things like just opening a chest. If you want to play chess get chess.com or lichess
Ошибка сети
Что с вашей игрой не так? Уже 3 дня не могу поиграть из-за ошибки соединения, хотя я играю через Wi-Fi. Я уже и через мобильный интернет пробовал, все бестолку. Исправите!
Hello
Top line Programming
Username Change Request
I have paid 99 rs and the username is not changed yet. Could you please check the same? There is not contact details on the app.
Fun
Fun game
Что-то сломалось
Все было хорошо до последнего обновления, игра вылетает после первого хода, как будто у меня нет интернета. Пишет, что нет соединения, стабильно два дня, ни разу игра не завершилась
Bien
Demasiados anuncios, pero buena dinámica
Pretty good
Less cheaters , a lot less than leeches and chess.com having a lot of fun so far
Waaaaaaaah!
The only way to prevent chess is by using the word chess. It will be restricted.
It’s nice
It’s pretty good
!!
Почему нельзя играть против друга??!
Too much updates
Just let me play in peace. Updates all the time tsk
Great Game
Connects to various people online in just seconds. Definitely love it.
You all suck!
You let players cheat left and right, but give warnings first time!
Best app
Its a very nice app for play chessboard. Thanks
Muchos anuncios y muy largos
Muchos anuncios muy largos
Genial
Súper divertido pero con mucho anuncio
I never rate a app
Grateful that people still play chess
This game cheats
Cheats on so many levels
Good app but glitches coming
Background music and score suddenly stopped. No sound for app now even though it’s enabled. Tried reinstalling but same problem persisting. Pls help
Ужасное приложение
Куча рекламы, после каждой игры ее включают, все платно, пишет плохое подключение зато реклама в первую очередь вверху экрана светится!!! УЖАС
Çok fazla pil kullanımı ve ısınma
İphone 14 pro kullanıyorum bu oyun şarjımı hemen bitiriyor ve telefon ısınıyor oynayamıyorum düzeltilmesi lazım yoksa 5 yıldız verirdim
Nice game
👌🏾
Chess for hackers
I was playing since a year on this chess but yesterday suddenly i noticed that this chess allow hackers to play..not once but twice my pawn was moved ahead but as the opponent’s chance came he killed the pawn on the place it was before my turn..this was shocking
Best
One of the best chess apps I have come across
Жалоба
Отличное приложение …..было… теперь очень часто бывает разрыв соединения , хотя инет стабилен , и другие приложения открываются и работают ,, очень обидно когда из за такого разрыва проигрываешь и теряешь очки или как они там называются правильно
Bien pero…
Bien pero la dinámica del juego no me gusta mucho. Prefiero algo más clásico por eso lo desinstalé
Move the coin display off the board!
I really like this game but they need to fix having the coins displayed on the board because it can block the chess squares and pieces.
This app sucks
Cant play with a friend
Report
The opponent still had a move to play but it showed draw no proggression
Очень нравится, но!
Все бы хорошо, проблема которая уже преследует несколько лет, просто бесит и не хочется посе этого играть. Это уже третий мой телефон, я играл на андроидах, сейчас IOS, а проблема та же. Не важно какой вайфай и где, не важно какой 4G, пишет нет связи и игра потеряна. Очень обидно, просто нереально, исчезла связь и ты проиграл, хотя связь отменная. Исправьте пожалуйста эту проблему!!! Пишет восстановление подключения и все, при этом нет проблем со связью, это что то с приложением
You are so good
Chess chess
Best of the best
Лучшее 👍🏼
No daily rewards 🤡
We used to get keys for daily rewards .. and now i lost interest in this game 🤡🤡
So funny....😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It is the most funniest chess I have ever played....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice job...
Freezes a valid move to check mate you!
While playing with Ai, level 5, the app starts cheating.. it won’t let you move even if it’s a valid move.. it freezes the move if it’s about to lose or if you try and escape a check .. it’s is formatted in such a way that you should lose by feezing valid moves! Not cool
Tem como trapacear!
O app é bom, porém ultimamente tem muitos bots e agora conseguem até derrubar o nosso tempo sem mexer no deles!!!
