User Reviews
"I have downloaded this game from reading the reviews. So far Im very glad I did. 2 days of playing it as much as I can. May be my favorite right now. I haven't gotten 1 add as of yet. Im sure I will but nothing. They do scroll some ads at the bottom of the screen. However don't bother me much. The puzzles are great but some seeming repetitive and some situations it starts out seems nearly impossible to have a game in that type of situation. But Im hooked!"
"Gorgeous and intuitive, but it lacks some puzzle options: no auto adjusted ELO score visible (only a useless current session bar graph), will not let you review the mistake or solution, there is no option to turn off the clock... but it's a beautiful app. Remember: Some of us just want to study, learn, and love the puzzles or games and we don't want time constraints and need real progress report... add the missing features please."
"Has difficulty accepting where player wants to put the piece. Feels like it doesn't want to accept the move, but you have to struggle and put in just the right position. The character opponents are fun though. It also sometimes places piece on wrong square and wastes a move, which is bad without a take back feature. I also don't think the ELO rating is accurate. The computer likes to come out strong on low levels but makes mistakes that seem like a much lower ELO."
"This might be one of the good online chess app. You can play on and off. You can even change the format of chess based on your liking, music adds up. Hope the devs add a tournament and rapid, this will be so much fun. I'm little bothered by the ads whenever i try to exit the app. I also encountered a bug or cheater that makes my time run-out even tho it wasn't me moving. Hope this will look into. Also, please fix & do add premove and smooth whenever interacting on pieces. The delay on time too!"
"Not bad, but full of bugs: 1. if you throw a friend invite to someone and they accept it, you basically lose a game - I mean, you just get sent to your friends list, and there's nothing you can do to avoid it (i tried using both arrows on my phone, neither helped me) 2. Sometimes, especially in the bullet, when you are in a time trouble, you may move your piece by the last second, but still lose on time 3. Today I played a game and the server died for no reason... However: variety of games+sound"
