8 of 25Apps work fine in iOS 7. I upgrade to iOS 8 and apps started to freeze a lot. Now even can make a first move! Hope there is a fix very soon for this.
Tactic puzzles are so addicting!
Enjoyed the app, but with the Sept 2014 installation of OS8 on my iPhone, no longer works. The app opens, but not a single button works. Update soon perhaps.
Not a person, betas lose as a program can to personhood.
I have been using Shredder for more than a decade. I love that they have a clean, simple version with up to 1500 elo rating which should prove plenty for me for some time to come. They collect no data which I much appreciate. I like to play on my own without any hints but with the option to revert a move which this app allows. Clean wholesome free app from a credible chess software company.
This is by far the best chess app I've tried. Especially for some like me trying to relearn how to play after a 10 year break. I just wish there was a red board and pieces, but thats trivial compared to how good the app is.
I love the scaling AI; I'm a big fan of that. The only aggravation I have, which is universal to many chess apps, is that far too many times do I make a move I didn't want to.
This is the best chess app that I have found. Easy to use powerful and a great interface. This app is awesome for both beginners and experts alike.
