Community Insight:
How do we castle? Tapping King then Rook does not work.
This app will really challenge you to think through every move.
We have been looking for an app with unlimited puzzles. This will make you a great chess player.
Link to chess.com not working. Would like ability to play around with puzzle situations.
First of all, we like the idea of being able to solve unlimited puzzles without having to pay for them like we would on Chess.com, so thank you to the developer. Having said that, about 10 minutes into playing these puzzles on this app, we noticed a few features that were missing: 1) there is no sound. We looked through the settings and we cannot find where we can add sound. Im used to the sound of moving pieces on chess.com when we solve puzzles and it really feels like a big omission here 2) when we solve the puzzle, we cannot go back and replay the moves to better learn the sequence. Once the puzzle is solved our only option is to go to the next puzzle or review the board after it has already been solved. 3) under settings, when we click on change privacy consent, nothing happens. 4) why is there a timer on puzzle solving? If we solve the puzzle in the first few seconds, why should we have to wait seven seconds before we can go to the next puzzle? We would gladly give this app a five star, if the developer is willing to fix these issues.
Im sorry. There are some wonderful apps out there with tons of features. Idk if this app is able to compete really. Not for us sorry.
Fully half the puzzles are inexplicable. We solve the puzzle when clearly our opponent was able to escape. So what exactly did we solve? What was the challenge? Its no fun playing unless you know what the goal is.
Challenges never really explained. Found better mates in two than material gain. Would be better if you knew what was to be solved.
We played a couple puzzles and the answers to them did not make any sense. There were a few that completely missed mating opportunities and had us capture material instead. Another had us check the king and allowed a pawn to get captured instead of defending it and promoting. The app also crashes randomly.
We like the puzzles a lot, but after you solve one, a green message box obscures a significant part of the board, so you cant study where things ended up. After we submitted this review, one of the developers responded and said he would try to fix the message box location in a future update. Thanks for the great response.
Didnt like the UI for moving pieces at all. No way to navigate back to previous puzzles. Uninstalled.
Im not gonna pay for Chess.com just to have unlimited puzzles, so this app is perfect. Plus, sometimes its nice to practice without it affecting your rating. We do kinda wish there was a back button bc sometimes we hit next instead of hint but thats on us lol.
The graphics blow goats but its a good app. It would be nice if you could rewind and forward the moves to see it unfold again and again. For a free app- you could do a heck of a lot worse.
