Works good but...

Crit Thinkah

When there is a mate, a window pops up obscuring the board and it cannot be removed, so if u did not see the mate, you cannot see it.


Slowest ever

Mosslegend

The app is not suited for any game requiring fast moves let alone premoves. Loss on time is guaranteed


Too many cheaters and people using bots

MusicFan8109

Please do something about all of the robots on your app or in FICS. If I wanted to play against a computer I would not log online.


Not likening this new version

9400111201080099511853

Not working properly and crashes. My database wouldn't load. No notation on the side when analyzing moves Just don't like this at all Do something with this or it will go south


New release significantly improved

This is the best FICS chess application out there. Most of the bugs were fixed. There is still the bug on the iPhone when the chess board is expanded over the entire screen. The time is shown on top of the board making it hard to see.


Not working on iOS 10.2.1

I can't start a new game, it always crashes. Please, fix it.

Very nice app. If Timestamp feature was added, to avoid eating your clock away due to Internet lag, this will be 6 stars. Also I am very impressed by the latest upgrade. Now it includes all the features of blind chess and more.


It Stinks!

Navigation within the game is illogical and beyond awkward. The developer apparently gave up on the game.


Some players missing

richerchess

Pretty good app I guess but some top players such as Capablanca and Judit Polgar are missing from the players list of top players. At least in my (2017) version. This doesn’t instill confidence in the reliability of other parts. Hope the tablebase part is 100% accurate.


My favorite IOS chess database pgn viewer and FICS client

I have been using Chess-wise for several years. I’m a club player and I find it easy to enter games on my phone after I play one over the board while at the site and the game is still fresh in my mind. I can export and import PGN files with ease to / from my computer in various ways. I also find it’s a very usable FICS client. The databasing and analysis tools make a great reader companion and when i run on an iPad its as useful as a very pricey pc program. The links to the latest tournaments and videos are a real nice touch. Once I had an import pgn issue and the developer personally responded within days and issued a patch quickly. For just a few bucks, i have seen this app grow with features over the last few years. There are occasional quirks after a release but they get fixed because the dev is active. Its fair to ask a few bucks because I have seen the effort that has been put back into this app over time.
