SocialChess • Online Chess App Reviews

Having fun playing my grandson who lives far away!!

By far the best chess app out of the 10 or so I tried

I been playing on this app for almost a year. You can play fast games, slow games, or whatever floats your boat. Graphics and UI are very simple which keeps me focused on the game. You can play against players at a skill level of your choosing and continue you to play against them if they choose to as well. Its nice to be able to chat with other players at times too.

The game notifications dont always work. I have lost games because I didnt know it was my move. Also - starting Chess 960 games is a paid feature? If it was a one time fee maybe I would be ok with it. Chess.com offers more for free. The interface on social chess is good, no complaints there.

Its a good chess app, just wish I was better at the damned game.

Never had any problems with this app...love that I can talk to ppl from all over the USA and other countries

Playing online sometimes will show the opposing person timer go down but when the move finally registered you find out your down 2 minutes causing you to lose a ranked game. Please fix only issue but a big one.

Its cool but u can only play 5 times at a time and thats annoying

This game seems great but the clock doesnt work right. Ill be in the middle of a game waiting several seconds for opponent to move, then my clock drops the amount of time I was waiting on him. Super annoying because I loose when I should have won!

My son purchased a membership but on the wrong account. Contacted support but the idiot was unhelpful and not understanding. He "couldnt" change the membership to another account and I had to buy another "premium" membership. Greedy App developers are becoming rampant. I suggest another app with better service. No stars

I Highly Recommend This Game Professional Quick Pace And Gets Friends Together

Easy to use and a nice looking platform.

If you want to play a chess game that allows people on the other end to cheat, this is your app. If you are a cheater at "board games," this is your app. If you value your computer or device security, find another app. If youd just like to play an honest game of chess... Find another app. If you dont believe me try it and frustrate yourself... Dont waste your time.

Love it, keeps my son and I in touch.

I really like this chess app mostly because of its multi-purpose use as local or online gameplay. It is smooth; the rules of this chess are correct unlike some other apps out there.

please make it Apple Watch compatible, cuz Im not buying the watch until it supports my favorite app!

Its an okay app but a complete rip off. First you have to buy it and you only get to play 5 games at a time. They basically force you into upgrading to premium which is $8! Thats way to high and it only lasts for a year. They could at least add tournaments puzzles or other features

Theres no question that this in truly the best chess app of its kind!!! Nothing comes close to the quality

I started playing this rendition of chess about 4 months ago. I have attempted to play every day since. I really enjoy the smoothness of play and ease of use.
