User Reviews
I have had this app for years and although I rarely use it, I really liked it and thought it was excellent. Apparently one of the recent (?) updates added ads. This week, when I tried to play chess, a full screen ad came on with no apparent way to close the ad and use the game. That stinks! REPLY TO AI'S REPLY - When I got the app probably 12 or more years ago it was called "Chess Free" and it had no ads. It was by AI Factory. Same icon. Same look. No ads.
Great app. The one super annoying thing -why no shortcut for rematch with the player, that you just finished playing?! It only makes sense. You have to type the whole name, and sometimes you can't even find the simbols they are using in their names. Yes, it does have an option for previous opponents, but not the one that you just finished playing. and most of the time, that is the one you want to play right away, usually if you lost. 😁
The game does mostly what you want it to do. Reason for the low rating is because of the ads. When I launch the app, then press play game, a fullscreen ad plays before I can make a single move. And whenever you are playing a match, you constantly have animated ads playing at the top of the screen, which can often times lag the game. Another fullscreen ad plays after every match. Don't put triggers for ads *before* players can even play the game. That's just bad, and will ruin your game.
Great game and very stimulating. However, the levels of the game don't always feel very consistent in terms of difficulty and often far from it. For example, level one may often feel like let's say level two or above in terms of difficulty and level two may often feel like level three or above in terms of difficulty, especially after you just won a game and choose to play again like right away or even after waiting a while sometimes. Practice level need options like practice for each level.
