Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Fun and easy to use. The game rates you and mostly lines you up with opponents of similar skill, some will be solidly better some will be markedly worse. Great fun and learning.
We love this game, a very good multiplayer experience. Our only complaint is we have More than three accounts, two have ninety star or more stars ore more. We think only five bucks , we always forget passwords.
We dont understand why this isnt the first result when you search chess on App Store. Best 3D graphics and multiplayer with people across the world.
Some different time formats would be nice. Not sure what a getup is but we are one.
Siempre us entretengo jugando contra diferentes rivales de otras nacionalidades!!! Lo nico que us cambio fue que antes podas darle revancha a tus oponentes, pero ahora no!! No se si fue porque de samsung us pase a iPhone pero si lo reactivan as sera un xito an mayor!!! 5 estrellas para ustedes.
Great game, but very loud gong, is very jarring when concentrating on a game, please make option for a little more pleasing warning sound, thanks.
Cool app because you play with really good chess players.
When buying purchases why doesnt our stars immediately appear? Im currently waiting on stars. As usual. Help please. Overall the app is wonderful.
Its a good game just wish you could get rematches.
How the f did you get Mars as a client? You guys got a CRO.
You can request a rematch on Android but why not on a iPhone.
Nice coz you get to play with a lot of different players.
To whom it may concern this game is ok it needs to be better if we Are really playing people from all over the world Example: wont allow u to log in with your name correctly..another example the game cheats for some players it would say u didn't move fast enough and you'll lose but will give the opposite person more time to move a piece.
We wonder why the developer wont fix the bug that has prevented us from LOGGING IN WITH MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT FOR OVER A YEAR. We play daily but that is a real shortcoming. Will jump ship if a comparable comes around.
Dont works remove ads.. We do pay to remove ads in app purchase but it doent works purchase resotre too… We hate ads and pay to it dont works plz fix it.
Why this game don't have other login options,because google login only is not working on iphone that's why we don't like the app.
Cant sign in with our google account.
We give it a 2 star because the game is fun and once we start winning with the black, they start giving us the white at a ration of 1/13. Its rear that we start a game as black. Us personally hate being white. We like to defend and is very good at that. They force us to be white 98 percent of the time. We always had thix problem with this game. Its a waste of time. Why cant we alternate black then white? They give us white every game. Its rare that Im on the black team.we bet theres money involved. We bet someone is paying to stay black.
What gets us is the unlimited 30 seconds a move that a player gets after their clock has expired. Thats nonsense. Why bother timing the game if all you have to do is run the clock and getting a 30 sec extension. We are otherwise on the fence about the game itself. For a 3D game the pieces dont seem 3D. More like cutouts that are stacked on eachother maybe if it was a different angle it may work. And thank goodness we found the audio off because the music reminds e of Kings Quest. A early 80s computer game that at least changed the music n occasion. Keep developing the game because it is not up to par.
We paid for add free gaming and 100 stars. You took our money but never gave us our belongings.
Pretty decent game but we will probably move on to another, we do wish to remove our google+ account off of it but there seems to be no option to.
You Will Never Get Them. We Know From Experience Apple Declines Refund After That As Well. Thieves.
We been asking you guys to help us get a face picture instead we play this game for the love of it which is a great game its just Ive been asking and need assistance bad.
The game resets every time we try to login.
We brought stars never got them and no one would respond to our emails.
It stopped working on our iPhone 8.
Many times disconnected while playing and resumed but after you lost the game.
When playing the game disconnects when we prepare to or move. It costs us 2 loses on something we had no control over. Well now it has cost us another game. Im deleting this garbage.
We cannot log in with our google account help us..!!! Please about that thanks.
Es muy limitado en multijugador no la recomiendo.
It the best way to enjoy a game chess with anyone around the world. At any time. We could never find anybody who wanted to play against us. Until now. They fixed almost everything about this game. Everything but, they took away voice chat. We like the text chat. It should include a translator. Ha ha. Otherwise it's they only way we can find someone to play any time we want to. Thank you, Mana stone. ————————— ORIGINAL REVIEW… Often while we're playing we get kicked out of the game & given a loss, when we are about to beat someone with a high rank. Or right after we do beat them the game will pause for "scheduled Maintainance" A bunch of BS. The App caters to it's paying customers.
The time completely runs out and the game continued to let our opponent play.
We love to play chess. This app make us can play chess with others. :).
All text diapered all of the sudden, and white boxes are showing up. Please fix this bug. Thanks.
We support this app much. However the text disappear. We can't play it now.
Fix the bugs, its a good game but we cant see our win or loss or any text.
Not compatible with the new IOS, cannot open the game!!! Fix pls.
Good game.. Crashes to much but ok.
A Very good game. However, the text and options are unreadable marked with a white bar that makes it impossible to know what selections you're making. At this point most of the features are pointless.
Won't load. It tries to, then crashes. Cmon guys.
Greatest online chess game that we've played. Talent across the globe.
No kidding this app is the best can't put it down.
Ppl learn to hack to win. Other than that we play everyday.
We just lost because there were no stalemates and this is ridiculous.
There is a bug where you win by taking the king. This does not apply to real chess. Please fix this issue and make it so that you cannot make a move if u are in check.
The graphics on this game are great. However, the rest of the game lacks ANYTHING else that we would look for in a chess app. There are no setting for you to set up game preferences. The game "randomly" matches you but matches you with the same players over and over. This is no fun if the player is much stronger than you. You cannot abort a game that has been matched either. It does not matter that the match has not started. You get stars that allow you to play. It takes 30 minutes for the stars to regenerate. So you can be forced to play,out ranked, three games with little chance to compete and then have to wait to play again. This app need many more features to bring the rest of the app up to the standard that the graphics are already at. Could have a lot of potential.
The interface is nice and this would be fun except that the game permits illegal moves when the opponent is in check. Rather than forcing the opponent to move the king it allows the opponent to move another piece and the you end the game by capturing the king. Bizarre.
This game disconected 100 time in one match,waste of time.
