Huh
- LevitheSlaYr · v4.10.32
There are so many cheaters on this app and grossly inadequate detection. In fact it’s so easy to cheat at chess on chess.con. There are free apps that just automatically give you move options as you play. So the whole idea of paying for chess is worthless. Also chess.con has taken the fun out of chess since it creates an atmosphere of paranoia about your losses. Did your opponent cheat? Maybe just for a few moves? You’ll never know! Especially since chess.con’s “cheat detection” is a joke. Why does Apple allow this chess app in the store? Would not give these people your money, there are much better apps for playing chess that do not involve subscriptions and far less cheating and FAKE REVIEWS. Is it any wonder that the one topic that shall-not-be-discussed on chess.com community message boards is cheating? Yup! Talk about it and you get banned. ENJOY!!!!

I have been playing chess for a long time. This app is easy to load and connects internationally.
- Supergeenie · v4.10.32
So tired of seeing ads. Outrageously priced. Analysis is also free on lichess. Don’t waste your time or money on chess.com
- Use chess.com for ai slop ads · v4.10.32
Made a new account to see what new users see when trying the game cuz my niece hated trying it Turns out they put y against ai opponents that have the same generic talking habits and ask the same questions It’s really off putting for new players rather than make them receive guidance or put them against same skill opponents they put them against an unbeatable ai that I with rank 900 couldn’t beat a supposed 250 player pls fix ur game and put a more effort into making the game more appealing Also fix yr hackers
- Subaru1256 · v4.10.32
App works good and you can learn a lot as a new player. Support is extremely clunky, people take a long time to reply (sometimes days or weeks) and the coach games bug out too much, which is what I use to learn. Issue was never fixed so be aware, your issue may take a long time if you need support.

It’s chess
- The penguin96885 · v4.10.32
In my experience, if you play anyone online, you are only going to encounter cheaters, or people who have been assigned a wrong rating. I have not had one single online game where the person I was playing played like their posted rating. I don’t know why anyone would use this app to play people online. Playing offline has been helpful, playing against the computer. I have learned a few things. The game evaluations can be helpful, but also inconsistent. Sometimes it calls a move brilliant and then later says the same move was a blunder. The training features generally seem to be well-designed and helpful. I really don’t understand why chess is so full of cheaters.

- AOCDaRam · v4.10.32
It’s really easy to use without paying and there are barely any adds, one thing though is that maybe you could add the favorite feature on the app so it’s not only on the website but otherwise 10/10 stars
- Chesslover2026 · v4.10.32
Awesome game. Best use of my free time.
- SaschaE1996 · v4.10.32
Free daily puzzles and lessons that actually improve your game. Free access to a wide range of different ELO bots and fun monthly themed bots with rewards! If you’re playing in your spare time the daily resets are no issue but if you want to subscribe to get unlimited access it’s reasonably priced! Fun either way!
- KiloDantes · v4.10.32
I’m a little obsessed but this app turned me from a no-nothing chess player into a capable one. It’s also probably 30% of my weekly screen time.
- Aawayne · v4.10.32
I can only play 3 puzzles a day, one puzzle rush, a few different bots, unlimited multiplayer, and ads, while it used to have no ads. Used to be more fun, but now it’s not.
- Cole Kinder · v4.10.32
Gotham chess has brought me to the game of chess and it is fantastic
- Gothams fans · v4.10.32
yes
- nick82859 · v4.10.32
I knew almost nothing about chess and I have been using this app every day for over 7 months. I have learned a lot. Being a full member is really worth it. I love playing with my coach, Magnus. He warns me when I am about to make a big mistake. I now put myself as Intermediate II and I almost always beat him!! But if I put myself on the next level I ALWAYS lose. I guess I need to stay there and keep on playing. GREAT FUN !!
- Aucaman · v4.10.32
This app has made it pretty easy to understand chess but there is to many pay to learn things like 1 lesson per day and like 4 puzzles I think per day which makes it pretty hard to learn better
- Jenehehrntb · v4.10.32
This game lets you play with a coach for free and they go over your games so you know what you could have done differently. You can also rewind the last play if it is not a good one so you can learn and play longer!
- hfdtyin · v4.10.32
Thank you Pierre Dalati for recommending this chess game. I’ve learned a lot on how to play chess. I used to be bad as chess now I’m improving thanks to this app.
- GoldenRoom41267 · v4.10.32
but it should always be UNLOCKED / FREE !
- Paul Anthony 7 · v4.10.32
If you start winning 2 - 3 games in a row, next few opponents will be bots. App will refresh after your consecutive wins and then they start sending bots
- Chess.comsucks.itsForLosers · v4.10.32
The coaching is honestly horrible. It doesn’t teach you strategy, it just forces you to make typical what it thinks is “by the book” moves, and if you try to play a different way, it’s literally scripted to punish you. Also there needs to be some serious region locking or something. I’m tired of playing against people outside of the US who are either bots, take forever to move, or are just blatantly cheating. Outside of all that, it’s just another mediocre chess app. EDIT: Devs reply and the app just gets worse. The coach is literally programmed to punish you if you don’t play the game its way, and most of the time it suggests horrible and braindead moves. So yeah, uninstalled and subscription cancelled.
- MWalkerUSAF · v4.10.32
Me and my dad play it all the time so fun
- Nik lambert · v4.10.32
This app is so good for beginners and it teaches you so much recommended.

- A troubled Costumer · v4.10.32
Very convenient and friendly interface. You always have someone to play with!
- SS2858 · v4.10.32
Would be better with no ads or paid memberships
- CRS1995 · v4.10.32
I love this app very much and use it every day, but when you are being constantly being asked to buy something, it gets real annoying. For example, if I am trying to play my coach or trying to review my game, after some time it was ask you to buy unlimited amount of it and if you do not buy it then it won’t allow you to do it anymore. Even with this advertising, it is still a very good app to play chess.
- Hacker55323 · v4.10.32
I understand why they need ads since a large group use the app without paying. They just annoying and I’m considering a different now.
- D-Flin · v4.10.32
I love this app it thought me the moves it puts you against people you are in match in skill with and you can play chess without needing a chess board or a person with you!!!:)
- Jordanffrr · v4.10.32
💯💯💯💯
- MattMill21 · v4.10.32
The app has many times claimed that there was a checkmate and there was not.
- Kunu K · v4.10.32
We have been asking for premoves on IOS forever. The devs always say “we are on it”. It’s all bs. They only care about adding ads to your games and having a broken elo system. You will find me on lichess. This company is the Apple, BambuLabs, Nintendo of the chess world. I’m done supporting it.

I am unable to get help from anyone. All they have is a AI to help me which is not able to resolve my problem. First time giving a 1 star review on a game. I actually paid $100 for a year subscription I am very disappointed I did.
- The best podcasts · v4.10.16
I really care for this app i really need this app to teach me and help me thanks

- Electricguitar33333 · v4.10.16
Chess.com is epic, I’ve gotten so much better at chess through it and it is extremely hard to get off of the game. The puzzles/game reviews/coaching/whatever else you gotta pay for is lowkey a scam but ig they gotta make money somehow. Puzzles are very helpful and help me get better but I get better at a very slow rate because you can only do one per day without paying and paying for chess is crazy
- Ronnie2k23 · v4.10.16
I can’t believe they got rid of the rooky bot, very sad 💔 need him as a permanent bot
- not66ben · v4.10.16
Great app !
- Mike Gigs 79 · v4.10.16
You’ll enjoy it
- Teejaystylez21 · v4.10.16
You guys have some explaining to do, but you won’t because you’d have to explain why you let so much cheating go on. Win more than 2 games in a row and then they will match you with people playing 1000 points above their elos to rape you back down 200 elo points
- mlb tsb 18 blows hard · v4.10.16
I had so much fun playing this game! My dad put a screen time on my phone because i was playing too much chess. The multiplayer just makes it better! This game is also for everyone 10/10
- Harshwa manoj · v4.10.16
Is great
- 2k me · v4.10.16
Chess has been an amazing game it helped me so much through out playing and I gotten way better
- Elden8926 · v4.10.16
It is vary fun to play chess and on here you have a free coach, and if you win you get better and if you lose you also get better, so I think it’s worth the Internet bill that I get.
- 5 star ultimate · v4.10.16
I got 3 different chess apps rating system is not accurate.
- Rollup2day · v4.10.15
I play the game and everyday o get 1 free lesson or puzzle the rest must be paid for the only reason to get chess.com is to play others you have to pay to learn here great way to play chess terrible place to learn chess unless you want to spend money in it go on ahead
- PIayer01 · v4.10.16
Way too much unfairness on this app! It’s not worth paying. Save your money. Just use the free stuff and play friends who you trust not to cheat! The folks who monitor things don’t care!
- cobjib · v4.10.16
Diamond subscription isn't worth it though. It's just to make your profile look cute.

- K. Ryan Bradshaw · v4.10.16
This app teaches me chess skills that I haven’t learned yet and ads almost never come so I can play chess with almost no ads.
- OldMegaMan · v4.10.16
They’ve a consistent pattern of wins and losses. Let’s say you’re about to go from 1400 to 1500. You would advance pretty quickly and then lose multiple games until you’re in low 1400s and then win again and then lose. This pattern continues for about 2 weeks and then you get a settled score of 1500 And then the same pattern repeats.

- Best game in history2 · v4.10.16
How can an app, in 2025, not determine which square I am touching? Lost a game by checkmate and menu still showd a resign button. That is just dumb.
- LoveLichess · v4.10.16
Sometimes it’s a good app but other times it’s just outrageous. If the bot has only the king left and you have many other players they get a draw if it’s vice verse you lose. It just has it’s moments there is probably better apps.
- Jas3jrs! · v4.10.15
First and foremost, the game said they’d notify me before my free trial for premium would end, I never got notified (yes i have notifications on) therefore the app charged me for the annual plan for premium membership. Secondly, the game review always tells me i played like a 1250 but my current rating is 500 and i can’t ever go any higher, it feels like im going against pros.

My dad was in a hospital for two days with the same issue with a kidney infection that I have been experiencing since the last year
- Iuugghjfgffngfcfdgdjdhfyuiggg · v4.10.16
Recently, it appears the tournament section is still experiencing major bugs. When accessing the current daily tournament tab, I have no options to select my tournaments, current tournaments, etc. These drop down menus were available before, but have oddly disappeared. I now have to go through a lengthy, awkward pathway to access and view the tournaments I am currently competing in. Another major issue is the app will not allow me to join tournaments. When I attempt to click the join button, nothing happens. It is not a timeout issue or anything else, and I know this because it won’t even display an error when clicking join. It simply does not work. I love the app and still use it, but seeing as the tournament section has suffered even more issues I have to lower my rating to three stars. Hopefully this can be resolved soon, because this app is still the best overall chess app to use in my honest opinion.
- FixFootballStrikeYouNarcs · v4.10.15
I found this very elegant as this game shows the perfect chess players. Also, you could play with players that you like any player you want you could play with them even if they’re a noob or a pro or they are the best player like Magnus Carlson then you can make it like him with this app chess.com has to be one of the most coolest things I’ve ever found 😆 it’s super addictive once you get the hang of it and then you finally get an addiction about about on Chess. This is where I started playing chess so bye!!!✌️✌️

They sell your personal information to EVERYONE. I explained how they do it on a previous review but it’s not there anymore. They delete the low star reviews which in my opinion should be illegal. Use only if you want 15+ spam calls a day. Also they track your id, browsing history, location, phone number, etc.
