1. 5/5Racism complaint

   I have been playing on this app for over ten years so obviously I must like it!! But I do have a complaint that definitely needs to be addressed. The chat needs to be monitored closer for abusive language and racism from sore losers!! I have been called the N- word an alarming amount of times, so many in fact that I hide my profile just so I can enjoy the game that I love so much. I am not the only one that is alarmed by how rampant the racism is on this app and just want the developers to do something about it immediately if not sooner!!!!!

2. 5/5Beautiful, simple, clean app & great features!

   I've been playing this app for years now. I have absolutely no complaints. I love the newer features of being able to see the history of wins/losses you have with any particular player. And support is amazing! Always a quick reply that gets immediate resolution. I've never had to reach out due to a problem with the app, but a couple other 'user error' issues 🙃 I think it's the owner/developer himself who responds too, so you know you've forgot someone on the other end who knows their stuff!

3. 5/5Best MP Chess app available!

   Bar none. No annoying ads, you're simply restricted on some options if you don't pay the $7.99 annual subscription (for stats tracking, customizable boards, 100 games at once instead of 5, etc), a great value but not at all necessary for the more casual player. You can play locally, and for MP can choose between slow or fast games. While I haven't seen a huge amount to choose from I've never been left in want of one, and they try to match you up against those with similar stats. You can play a move once a day, three, or five days (or however soon the other player responds), or play a fast game with an adjustable time limit among other settings. You can chat (text) and rewind or forward your moves to analyze strategy while playing. The UI and presentation are also streamlined and pleasing to deal with. If you have any interest in chess give this app a shot....you only have everything to gain! Highly recommended.

4. 5/5An easy Five

   This is such an easy app to rate. First of all there is no visual clutter. Not just with no ads, but also the program itself is clean and not distracting. Always works as advertised keeping your attention on only one thing, playing great games of chess. Just today I wrote in a suggestion and within minutes my email greeted me with a pleasant response from the developer. Just out of curiosity, I looked at the version history, and this app has a continuous track record of keeping up to date. This really is the way an app should be. Great job, keep up the good work!

5. 5/5Maybe the best

   I haven't played them all, so I can't rightly call it the best, but of the ones I have, it's definitely tops. All the clean interface & features of CWF but the rating system, board flip and autoloading of active moves put it above the rest. Some have more features but are clunky, ugly or just annoying to use (looking at you chess time.) Would like to see vs. a particularly player stats at some point, maybe a game time function. The yearly fee for 6+ games is kind of a drag, but thats really the only drawback here. But you pay a little and you get a much better app. Stop fighting with newtoy/zynga tech support and get this app. Update: Woa, whadyou guys do, add those features while I was writing that review? Now that's some service. If I could add a sixth star I would.
