2023-03-02 | Arcade Man | Well first it is a free game, I never write write reviews, but it has the most annoying adds, that will actually stream content while playing, and it continually miss places ponds..it will show the pond move two spaces..en passe...and the it will cause you to lose games..thus causing in accurate stats..I been looking for another chess app..this one is then worst | |
2023-02-17 | Andrew Morrison | After 3 years of playing and giving the game a 5 star rating, I am forced to switch to a different chass game. Every new version of Chess Stars became more unstable and annoying to play. Excessive rewards and promotions make the game laggy and more often than not it will crash. Worst part is It will disconnect in the middle of a match making you lose points. I can't list all the issues the game has on this 500 character review. Make the game simple again!!! Stop adding unnecesary things | |
2023-01-24 | Christian Saul Partida | It started out great. Little things like kicking me out of game made me lose points but overall a good app. Then the second day my profile isn't correct and i am not getting any points anymore. Tried emailing the developer and still no email back. Everytime i click the help button on app it goes to black screen and have to exit the app. It has my profile as a weird name from the country of Latvia. | |
2022-12-07 | Austin Jackson | I literally lost so many games from the game either just closing out or a random ad popping up literally damn near the end of a game. These last few times it happened I was about 2 or 3 moves from check mate each time. I give it one star because how the game will just close and not give the option to reconnect to a game. Literally thousands of coins and ratings down the drain. You can never get a real rating of that keeps happening. And no one wants to lose what they earn in the blink of an eye. | |
2022-11-06 | Josh Delcomyn | The clock system is terribly inaccurate. Doesn't matter how fast you play, at least a second of time will pass each move, and usually 2 seconds pass. 3 fold repetition will freeze the game. Ads pop up in the middle of games. Chock full of bots that play the same bs lines. They have hints you can use in "live" games?? The "stars" currency you get from winning games is pointless. I have 120 million coins stacked for no reason. I can't think of a reason to use this app over other options available. | |
2022-10-08 | Brian | Prepare for opponents that don't move. Although the actual app works great, it allows for players to sit for 30 mins and not make a move, in the Hope's that you get so bored and leave...which of course means you lose and they win. Why this app allows a player to not lose for not making a move after 10+ mins is beyond me. This happens about 10% of the time and it makes for a bad experience. Sadly, I am reading reviews from 2019 where the game makers ID'd the problem and promised to fix it. | |
2022-08-28 | Holly S | I just installed and now Uninstaller. Played 2 games. Both games froze. The first froze after opponent's time reached zero. The second game froze when the opponent's time reached 1:23. Both games I was winning. I read the reviews and this game is not worth my time but it is worth my time to let others possibly know of problems before they waste their time. It is criminal that quality has been sacrificed. These adds make them richer and profit is all they care about. Everyone needs to speak out. | |
2021-11-30 | gerardo garcia | It started off okay I mean gameplay was mostly robots but then once I earn my coins and very 100k on a game I was at the last final minutes in the game winning And almost running the opponents time out my chess pieces froze. I could move anything and my time was running all the way down. I wrote the game app and got no response. My bad but that's a deal breaker if your app is closing me all my hard earned coin (points). | |
2021-10-01 | Larry | The best. Always a quick game when I have a few minutes.....play lots of different ranked players....it's fun to beat someone above your rank. Ok here's the update. Very glitchy. Won't let me more for long periods during timed games. Move the wrong square sometimes. I can't reside or lowered the amount on the game. Looking for new free chess app. Can anyone recommend one? | |
2021-02-02 | Nathan B. | This game would be perfect if a couple things were changed. 1st being the having to log into facebook just to make a profile. 2nd being the fact that I lose points when the game disconnects. I don't think its fair to pay a penalty if the servers crash! That's not the players fault at the end of the day. All in all, great app, despite the issues stated above. |
