Chess By Post Premium Reviews
This is THE chess app to own for rated multi-player. The icon is on our first app page. Chess pieces have clean bold design, easy to identify. The rewind and plan ahead features are invaluable. The new puzzles feature is incredible!!! FEATURE REQUEST: Please offer an option to disable vibrate when another player makes a move on a different game while we are concentrating on our current game.
We would like to be able to view some game of the better players. Maybe you could hide the players names if necessary. Thanks. Love your game program.
Feature Request: There really needs to be a block function to be able to block other players if they become offensive! Once you are matched in a rated game with someone all you can do is end the game. Once you end A game the offensive player is still on your play list and they can still send messages to you. This needs to be averted!
We receive no notification when its our opponents turn although we already turned on notification in Settings . Im using Iphone 7 with latest iOs version. Please fix. Thank you.
Clean, tight no frills app. Latest update with board coordinates is great as well!
This is what we’ve been looking for in online chess. Simple, subdued and a lot of fun. This is chess, not some social network without photos, mini biographies, or popularity contest. We can play under quiet and reserved conditions. Take our time to think and plan and above all else, enjoy myself with a good game of chess.
Nicely put together. Highly recommend.
Best chess app. We tried all of them. This is by far the most user friendly and logical of them all. Well done!
Highly recommend this app. Cross platform – straight forward – – no complaints.
A great app that keeps getting better with each update.
No complaints here. The simplicity is perfect. One feature we think would be nice is the ability to swipe left and right between other open games. Tried to do it by default since other apps usually have that function and thought that’d be cool to have! Thanks again for the best chess app out there.
Great app. We play daily with friends and strangers. So fun.
This is a good app 99.9% of the time. Every once in a while a friends move won’t register for a day or so. But tats probably a network related issue more than the fault of the game.
The app has a mistake. The castle is allowed when a piece is threaten between king and the rook.
Update 6/17 – new update looks great. Everything below still applies :) Cant recommend this app enough. Works flawlessly and the notifications work well. A great way to play chess as someone looking to improve since it provides the ability to study moves for days if you wanted to. The plan moves feature is awesome. Upgraded less to get rid of ads and more to support the developer in this small way because we are grateful they have made such a great app. Please make it universal for ipad! Even if you change nothing but to make it look better on the ipad. Thanks!
Since iOS 7 it crashes. Aside from that it’s tip-top.
We already liked this app it has a thriving community of players, and is cross-platform so you can play with your friends even if they dont have an iPhone. However, the recent addition of a planning mode where you can try out scenarios and move pieces around takes it over the edge. We had said in a previous review we wished it had this kind of functionality, but the execution is better than we had hoped. The update also includes a new wood-look board that is nice, and the ability to add notes. Really happy with this update, so Im bumping our review from a 4 to a 5.
This game works great all the time. We always find someone to play against for ranked games. It’s also easy to play against our friends because this app is supported in all platforms. Would give it 6 stars if we could.
But should try to not let profanity into screen names for a perfect app.
We would normally give an app like this a great 5 star rating; BUT, this app has no way to leave feedback about other players. In the short time we have had the app, we have encountered several trolls who refuse to make a move, offer a draw when they are losing, or just not move and let the game time out. In order to protect the integrity of the game, these players need to be reported, and removed.
Multiple matches, a clever ranking system based on wins and loses and the rank of your opponent, a leader board, simple organization, intuitive layout, unranked matches with friends, game play that allows you to view a move before submitting. A very nice chess app.
That’s all–simple and fun correspondence chess app.
We have a lot of chess apps but this one takes the cake. The ability to make many games and play them all at once is great, and navigating the app is easy. Over all if you don’t have this app and you play chess you are missing out. We have only one thing that needs improvement and that is the customization of the board and pieces we would like more.
Lost our job, spent our last couple bucks to buy this app. This is all we do anymore. Sit in the dark (didn’t pay light bill) and play this game. Wife said we were "obsessed" as she left. Shows what a psychology degree is worth these days. "Obsessed", whatever. Great app though you should try it and challenge us! We only have about 30 games going at once now-a-days, tryin to scale back a bit.
Great app! And has multiplayer rankings. If you enjoy chess this app will not disappoint.
Great app! Way better than chess with friends, wish we knew about this app sooner.
