8 of 25To good
It’s a good game I like that you can do levels on it yeah that’s it and I like that. There’s so many different things that you can choose.
Don’t ask me 2 minutes after downloading the game.
Good app
Must have. Best free chess
This is the best form of therapy for seniors to avoid brain fog and senility.
Great brown board
It’s good and all, and it works well. The chess pretty fun too. I just fell like it’s missing some more features like a better Home Screen and more options and stuff like that. Sometimes it’s hard to navigate and try to find what you’re looking for. It’s just a chess app and nothing else.
