Worst update...! I want the app before the update...! Update one crashes
There is no feature of kibitzing top games now. Where the f**k is it? Get that feature back please.
Chessbase products are making their way to all of my devices. Thank you for the great product!
Another product that crashes
I love this app
Good
V good
Excellent
The game is really slow, you really need to work on it to make it smoother.
Can you put move coach, move hints or move guide so we will not make mistake in moving the pieces because other online chess has move guide. Thank you.
Among all available live chess games, it is the best one. No fake players.. Real people are playing real game... Fantastic!!!
The Latest update has made me hate the app. It's now too slow, moves wait for seconds before it responds!
An engine is more than welcome. Also games in database are not numbered, so it is difficult to figure out how many games, one already analyzed
Worst servers
Great UI, good mix of opponents
Good App to practice and play chess online.
There is lag while playing, causing the time to pass and to lose the game.This happened only with the last two or three updates. Please fix the lagging issue.
Fantastic
Finally an update 2.3.4.49. 'Multiple fixes'. I looked forward to improvements, but all I see are smaller icons with reduced space between them, yet there is heaps of space on both upper and lower menu bars for larger icons and greater separation.
App just get stuck or hang if you chat with player who have disabled chat option .please resolve .. please do something on that front
No captured material display, no opponent info, no Claim Win on Disconnect, no way to watch other games, and the list goes on. But worst of all, no meaningful updates in the year I've used this. Not recommended; especially considering it's a paid app. EDIT: Would now give this zero stars, if I could. No updates in over two years!
My previous review was pretty harsh. I am still not a fan of this app in comparison to others out there in terms of features. The competition just blows this one out of the water. But if you own a Chessbase product there is no comparison to the quality of their products. Except the Android app. This app needs a major overhaul so I am sticking to playing on the playchess server via the software on my computer which is good but bad if you want to play while on the go :( please update!!!!
Garbage. Glitches, moves don't go where you put them & everyone on there is a pro or a cheat. So no fun whatsoever.
Make it free, very bad connections with server, every third game is breaking, lot of crashing...
Just compare it to what clients like Mobalia Chess can do. You can play, but that's about it. On a tablet with qHD screen resolution, the client could easily have all the functions the desktop application does.
Unstable app as we give app a permission as full network access this app misusing the permission as frequently disconnring wifi connection as they modify it
App just get stuck or hang if you chat with player who have disabled chat option .please resolve
Not so friendly...please add chatting room for players and additional crucial buttons..please give us feedback
If u put "next move button" at the right side it wud be more user friendly.....cz it messes up whn watching the database though phone.... cz majority of the people use their phone wid right hand....
If you don't have money, don't even bother downloading it
Please update and fix bug..it's was long time.thks
Nice chess app....the others criticizing are probably having problems with their gadgets not with the app
I am not going to renew subscription due to matches between magnus and karyjan is not allowed.... Then why we are paying... WTF
Cannot conect playchess last 2 days
But when it doesnt its a waste of time.
It is good for playing chess I liked it a lot
Sure the app works fine and it's the playchess server. But compared to other apps such as chess24 and lichess, this app lacks so much features. I even have a premium account here and compared to Lichess (which is FREE) has way more services and features. Here you can only search pre set time controls. There's no study's or tactics or anything. No analysis unless you purchase the Chessbase app for $10. This is such a shame from Chessbase. When my subscription ends I won't renew even if I buy CB14
Sometimes I click on a piece to move it and it immediately jumps to a square I have not chosen. Frustrating when this costs me a game I am winning!

My internet data is very good 4 GB. Please fix this problem now!!!!! I want to play chess, analyz, and make notes. Do not make me dissapointed. Please fix this faster.!!!!
