Too many ads
Too many ads
Ads
Way too many ads, annoying and persintant.
Chess
This game is awesome to waste time or just have fun. The AI can be a challenge if you want it to be and it just chess. No funny stuff like paywalls and ads. Just download and have fun!
Ad Trap
App makes you watch an ad immediately, as soon as you launch it. Immediately uninstalled. Terrible.
Vv
Relaxing
Ads are too annoying
I’ve played this app before it was fun. I just redownloaded it and couldn’t even load the game because of ads. How annoying. I’ll find another version
Super annoying ads
App works well but the popup ads are really really annoying
Good app
I like the game, but I but it again and again match is draw
Moment I opened the game I got a advertisement about s**. KIDS USE THIS.
Don’t recommend, stay away!
Chess
Muy bueno y divertido
Adverts
Too many long adverts every time you open the app I’ve moved on!
Adds
Too many adds.
Too many ads
This game is strictly adds. Makes you spend more time waiting and playing other games than actually being able to access the app
Ad farm
No idea if it’s any good or not because an ad starts as soon as I open the app and wouldn’t let me skip after waiting 2 min which is plenty more than enough
The ad
It’s amazing game I recommend you get it, but there is ads
You have to be able to win or lose
I think you have to be able to win win or lose as you can’t win or lose.
Déçu
Pour apprendre on doit payer à chaque quelques leçons. Pour débuter, j’ai eu droit au enseignement des pions et autres comment ils bougent…. Pour vrai!!!
Ads
Irritating ads started recently
Naked women in ads
I downloaded this game to play chess with my 8 year old daughter but as soon as I opened it up there were ads showing naked women across the bottom.
Chess
Chess it’s chess
Too many too long ads
Impossible game of patience because you can’t pass by the adverts. Deleted.
The most irritating ads
I don’t minds ads at all but when you can’t close them at all it’s the most irritating thing ever! At least 75% of the times you open this app you get an ad for a game that you can’t close or skip! You wait but it just keeps going!
Agam
This game is so good. I learnt to play chess. I know I lose and sometimes I win I lose and then I understand my mistakes. This game is interesting and whenever I watch YouTube, it is just waste of time. But in this app, I am learning chess also, and that’s really good activity to learn new things activities, and I love this.
Stewpid
At least let me exit out of the commercials
It’s nice
Too much adds
To many adds
Adds last to long and there are to many of them. I keep loosing interest to play
Bug
This chess free app I frequently used but today I notice suddenly pan disappeared automatically that’s so funny & fix this problem please it’s bug problem every week occurred please check developer
Chess game
This game is so fun and educational to play so relaxing and interesting to play with other players
Chess
To many apps
4 stars🤩🤩
Nice although a little improvement could help.😕😕😕
Used to be good
Ads for other games dominate the game and cannot get rid of them
Game full of bugs
The game is full of bugs. Strongest piece dissappears when Computer has no places to move. Comp irrespective of having a piece(e.g. Pawn, Horse etc) in the path just ignores the obstacle and kills your most valuable player e.g. queen or rook.
the better chess.com.
NO forced AI, and has traditional AI instead of generative. W game
Ads make it impossible
DO NOT GET THIS. Ads go on forever with no way to x out of them. Literally 5 min of ads before you can play. Awful.
Exactly
What can one expect from!
Too many ads, uninstalled it after 1 day.
Too many ads makes your experience playing a bad one
how do you castle
how
Chess
Why do u always let the other king not move where he can die u have to make it more fair
Ads
Only time I’ve ever written a review. It’s ads galore. Don’t recommend.
I can’t do the castling move
Can somebody tell me how to do that
Too many ads sometimes the ads don’t let me play chess
Urghhh
Not all correct
I have defeated the computer a couple of times when I have done this, the computer doesn’t like it and just says it’s a draw rather then recognising me as the winner
Good game
Good game
Was a 5 star, now 1
Take the move time off or give an option of 0. Having to wait 5 seconds for the computer to move is dumb. Why start that now, it was great before.
Request for updates…
So i am playing chess through this app past two months. But after quit something when i try to king castle it won’t work i try so many times but it won’t work. But in other hand computer can do that but the player won’t plzz fix this other wise this app is so good for beginners. You can set your difficulty and its really lots of fun. Thank you.
Few glitches
Sometimes the game does allow you to move the pawn out 2 spaces - usually when a single space move results in you pawn being taken. Also computer can castle, but I cannot figure out to how to castle myself. I’d also like the chance to play black instead of always white.
Chess
I like it but it has a lot of draws and does not let me checkmate
