Absolutely horrible app. I click on multiplayer and it keeps throwing an error “unable to connect”. I tried with WiFi as well as with the cellular data. I play on SparkChess in a browser where I started getting the same error, time to move to something else. Unfortunate since I liked SparkChess a lot
SparkChess is simple and easy, but it’s structured to sell add-one and upgrades. The easy AI is too easy and the medium AI is too difficult. Of course, SparkChess sells an intermediate AI...
This app is worse chess app I’ve used. Constantly disconnects with error message “out of sync” It does it right in the middle of a game too! Frustrating
Do not pay for this junk. I’ve tested numerous times how these sites have completely reverted to (poorly made) bots to pretend they have more people online. If I were to be made aware I was playing a bot, I wouldn’t mind. But this is ridiculous- one day? I win 10 straight easily. The next? I’m fighting for my life by move 20 by extremely punishing ai posing as “human”. I’ve played chess for 20 years and can tell when I’m playing a bot. Elo around 1800 solid (don’t trust chess.com because I’ve tested them too and they’re doing the same thing so checking your elo in any online app is useless in this day in age). Avoid this junk or accept you’re mostly playing against the creators trying to fine tune their bots to appear to be human.
I lost three games while in the lead today because this faulty app freezes every single time attempting to promote pawn. Broken and I’ve had it. You lost a player for life. I play a lot, and with a popular account. My team which I admin is in third place. I’m moving on to Chess.com. No more of this bull.
