It's a decent app if you want to play the odd game. My biggest fault with it, and something they could easily fix, would be you often play with the same colour for many games in a row. For example I played three times as white, on the fourth and fifth games I aborted, as I would have liked to play black for a change. As a result they put me on a ten min time out. Following that I had one game as black and another three games as white, followed by two abandoned and a 20 time out. Please Fix This!

I really enjoy this app, because it has everything you need in a chess game and it's free. five stars ... please may I ask one thing, regarding the board layout on fold phones I can never see my time or opponents times as the board take up the whole screen. like I can on a normal phone, I see the time, please can this be looked into and changed. I know it's free and sorry to ask. my device is a fold3 Samsung I play on.

Amazing app. It does everything you could want. You can play games online with people, offline with bots (Which you can set the difficulty of) and also has a large base of free, high quality puzzles. You can also study on user created games which often teach openings and traps, both of which being incredibly useful and easy to follow. I highly reccomend this app. It's totally free, but has the quality of a high cost app.
