GREAT BUT a few changes that I would like to see
07/03/2021

First of all, I would appreciate it if you allowed pre-moves not just for one move but for every move, because it’s been difficult to compete with other pc players in low time scrambles. Second I would like to see the addition of arrows, maybe you could make it so when you double tap one square and another square, it will create an arrow, because I think it would help make it easier to visualize our moves. I also think that you should maybe better optimize the other variants, like maybe not make them secluded in the daily, you see the other variants can be played on the app if you tap on daily then tap of the side panel, the problem is that the other variants aren’t as smooth as the main ones, so a better optimized version with a less concealed location would greatly help.

Keeping chats in database or in some kind of storage?

It’d be nice if you saved the chats of games due to things like “I am your dead mother” or anything intended to hurt people since it happed to me when I was 1 move away from checkmate but he said the mother thing then swiftly resigned hoping I didn’t see, now I did report them but next time I’m probably gonna forget to report then I can’t remember the game, I get it’s like protecting someone’s privacy in chat & stuff but still, maybe something like keeping the chat for the game if reported for Idk something with language abuse I mean this is a game for 4 and above yet that dead mother still came out uncensored. But overall if I’m facing a person who plays properly & doesn’t insult/ resign one move from checkmate or are super toxic/baby rager then it’s a good game

Great but why even log us out from our accounts

I just got back to chess after not playing for a month and it is really annoying on how you guys just log me out after not playing for a month. Can’t you guys just let us all have our accounts still logged in even after a year. Like what harm did we even cause in order to get logged out after not playing for a month. I need a reason on why you guys log us out just for not playing for a month because I personally think it isn’t really that bad if we dont play for a month. Im still willing to log into my account but it is just annoying

Developer Response
Thank you for this feedback. It's understandable that you'd prefer to play with players at your same rating level. On the app you can create a setting to limit your game pairings based on opponent ratings. Tap on the Play button, then tap on "more" and choose the custom game option. You'll be able to enter a rating range so that you pair with someone close to your own rating in future games.

Hi chess fans! Today's new version improves app quality, removing a couple of bugs that could cause the app to crash. We hope you enjoy it! Thank you.
