Overall a fantastic chess app. Snappy, lovely graphics, lots of customisation options with regards to the board, pieces etc. Great to practice my rusty skills on, and great to review the game to see where my (many) mistakes are. The multiplayer is open to some abuse, though. Players can pause a game for an infinite amount of time, to possibly check an online assistant, or to literally find a way of quitting without actually resigning. I would love a clock option to remove most of this abuse.

I've recently started playing chess again and decided to buy the Pro version of this app to avoid adds. The games pretty good with minimal customisation available but the single most annoying thing is the sound it make navigating the menus and if you turn off this setting, you get zero sound effects when playing the actual game which is doubly annoying, please fix this!

Thank you for your suggestion. We've never been asked this before and have added it for consideration on our to-do list. Unfortunately we're a very small team with lots of apps to look after so can't say how long it might take to assess any requests.

This is the best chess game I have found for Android but it could be better. I'd like an option to turn off all the slidey animations you have to wait through in the menu screens. Also, sometimes after the computer opponent moves, I want to go back and see what its last move before that was, but then the computer's next move will often be different to the original one so I can't ever get back to the same place again.

Please go to Menu, Options and uncheck "Screen Transitions" to stop animations between screens. To look back at earlier moves without risking cpu playing a different move, please go to Menu, Review Game and use the arrows to step backwards and forwards through moves played so far.
