Easily the premier way to play chess online, and the mobile version is no different. Smooth controls, tons of gamemodes, support for the biggest events and players, it has it all. The premium version is not fully necessary but it feels worth the price. No matter the level, this is the place to play chess.

What happened to game reviews?! The new version is awful. Absolutely horrible experience, and it's so jarring to use it now. Wish I could install the old version. Smh. Puzzles are also still really buggy and often freeze (every 3-4 puzzles). I do puzzles way more than games, so it's a huge issue for me. Paying 120/yr, I expected better. I cancelled premium and wow, the experience is absolutely awful as a free user. Goodbye. Going back to ad-free Lichess now.

We appreciate this feedback. With the new Game Review, you can still analyze your game with only a few clicks! Simply tap on Next to see each critical moment of your game. If you want to see the top moves following a particular move, tap on Show. To go move-by-move, use the Analysis mode with the icon at the top right.

Tactics are easier than they used to be, with a difficulty option being added and removed for seemingly no reason. Also buggy. Edit: They re-added the difficulty option. Bumping it to 4 stars for now, premium options are still overpriced and the engine (computer analysis) is laughable compared to it's competitors such as lichess, which are free.
