Super simple and good app. Nobody can chat with my child or make a friend request, which is great. Friends can still be made after a good match by requesting a rematch, but the focus is purely play and I like that a lot. The upgraded version must be worth it, but we aren't that far yet. Highly recommended.

I'm fighting the urge to purchase the subscription package. This app is so well put together it's no wonder they charge for the complete version! I'm going to keep using it for what I can get with the free version for now though.

It is a very good app, it has tournaments, clubs, puzzles, videos etc. It makes the app really fun! But why ruin a really good app with that weird Gold Membership, I mean how can we learn everything if you don't pay. Other chess apps like Lichess could be better, it's fully free, there are infinite puzzles and there are variants too. How is it worth it if there are other chess apps which are truly free? You can do better.🙂
