This game is terrible it has a pay wall when you reach five games a day I hate it this is the worst game ever??

Lots of cheaters on this platform

enzo1723

Unfortunately there are a lot of cheaters on this platform! For example, don’t play with this person called mistermaster from Iran who has elo score around 2174. He has software that can freeze his clock. I had this one game with him, he had 0.9 seconds when I had 28 seconds left, and we moved at the same speed. His 0.9 seconds never went down for many moves! It kept glitching and glitching and stayed at 0.9 seconds for a while. That is impossible with human physics. At the end of course I lost due to time because apparently having 28 seconds cannot beat someone with 0.9 seconds. My whole 28 seconds went to 0 while his 0.9 seconds lasted till the end, and he had 0.1 second left (how convenient lol). If anyone watches that game, they would call that absolute bogus. I hope the developer can ban this cheater. I notice that some people also cheat with computer, every move is literally using the same time like he doesn’t think lol, extremely consistent like a robot. I’m sure many players met with those before. I reported one because I played about 20 games with that person to prove it. Of course next day I saw his account get banned ha! Feel great when cheaters get punished. Honestly it really took all the fun away when there are people like that. Come on, the whole point of chess is to have fun and play fair!

Login issue

I keep getting INVALID_Key and the system will not let me creat a new account ?

Still major issues

Josh Ockert

Recent updates have been better than before, but there are still major mistakes in the software, like pop ups in the game (even paid) covering important information. Please stop with the pop ups! Seriously...

Great app. Terrible users.

As far as a chess app, this one is great. Probably my favorite over the other 6 I have on my phone. I’ve had it for years but I use it less and less because I can’t seem to go one day without someone calling me “monkey” or the “N-word” when they lose to me. There’s no option to report people, instead you can only block. Nowadays it’s harder and harder to find an opponent because I have so many racists blocked. Just use Lichess instead.

Unusable

Can't get past the sign in screen.

Great game and Outstanding Customer Service

Lord Hagan

This is a fun game that is easy to use. When I had issues that needed assistance from customer support they were very quick to respond and extremely helpful. They resolved my issue within minutes, not days like some apps do. This is a highly recommended game for any chess player at any level. Go and give it a try for yourself and your friends

Excellent Chess App

HypNotize

Excellent, aesthetically pleasing app. Best I’ve seen appearance wise. Allow for everything from classical to blitz chess. The blitz and rapid chess are where the ios version of chess.com disappoint. Not an option at all, though great for many other things. Where Social Chess could improve a bit are making a few of the features more intuitive. For instance I haven’t been able to even find their analysis function at all. If anyone can point the way there that would be much appreciated. I definitely recommend checking Social Chess out. See you in there.

The best chess app … bar none

DrHotBunz

Other apps try to do to much. Social chess is polished and works great. Joy to play with.

very unfun if you cant even start

PixusLux

this app is not very begginer friendly i got this app because of no ads and i thought that it would be a cool hobbie to learn but there are not many begginers on this app. I used the find player or whatever its called to find new players, i played with the lowest elo on the leaderboard and still lost i mean this app just is very not fun because i cant start.
