I am unable to get help from anyone. All they have is a AI to help me which is not able to resolve my problem. First time giving a 1 star review on a game. I actually paid $100 for a year subscription I am very disappointed I did.

The best ngl, little annoying if you don’t have subscriptions tho
- Electricguitar33333 · v4.10.16
Chess.com is epic, I’ve gotten so much better at chess through it and it is extremely hard to get off of the game. The puzzles/game reviews/coaching/whatever else you gotta pay for is lowkey a scam but ig they gotta make money somehow. Puzzles are very helpful and help me get better but I get better at a very slow rate because you can only do one per day without paying and paying for chess is crazy
- Ronnie2k23 · v4.10.16
I can’t believe they got rid of the rooky bot, very sad 💔 need him as a permanent bot
- not66ben · v4.10.16
Great app !
- Mike Gigs 79 · v4.10.16
You’ll enjoy it
- Teejaystylez21 · v4.10.16
You guys have some explaining to do, but you won’t because you’d have to explain why you let so much cheating go on. Win more than 2 games in a row and then they will match you with people playing 1000 points above their elos to rape you back down 200 elo points
- mlb tsb 18 blows hard · v4.10.16
I had so much fun playing this game! My dad put a screen time on my phone because i was playing too much chess. The multiplayer just makes it better! This game is also for everyone 10/10
- Harshwa manoj · v4.10.16
Is great
- 2k me · v4.10.16
Chess has been an amazing game it helped me so much through out playing and I gotten way better
- Elden8926 · v4.10.16
It is vary fun to play chess and on here you have a free coach, and if you win you get better and if you lose you also get better, so I think it’s worth the Internet bill that I get.
- 5 star ultimate · v4.10.16
I got 3 different chess apps rating system is not accurate.
- Rollup2day · v4.10.15
I play the game and everyday o get 1 free lesson or puzzle the rest must be paid for the only reason to get chess.com is to play others you have to pay to learn here great way to play chess terrible place to learn chess unless you want to spend money in it go on ahead
- PIayer01 · v4.10.16
Way too much unfairness on this app! It’s not worth paying. Save your money. Just use the free stuff and play friends who you trust not to cheat! The folks who monitor things don’t care!
- cobjib · v4.10.16
Diamond subscription isn't worth it though. It's just to make your profile look cute.
- @DaddddyJ · v4.10.16
Perfect app for those who love playing chess!

The title says it all. Try it. If you are a chess fan, you’ll love it. I know it’s helpful to sharper your game and make you a better player. Highly recommend.
- K. Ryan Bradshaw · v4.10.16
This app teaches me chess skills that I haven’t learned yet and ads almost never come so I can play chess with almost no ads.
- OldMegaMan · v4.10.16
They’ve a consistent pattern of wins and losses. Let’s say you’re about to go from 1400 to 1500. You would advance pretty quickly and then lose multiple games until you’re in low 1400s and then win again and then lose. This pattern continues for about 2 weeks and then you get a settled score of 1500 And then the same pattern repeats.
- Rikitikitaaawi · v4.10.15
Cannot get support to respond to my requests.
- The Jhomer · v4.10.16
Helps a lot
- Best game in history2 · v4.10.16
How can an app, in 2025, not determine which square I am touching? Lost a game by checkmate and menu still showd a resign button. That is just dumb.
- LoveLichess · v4.10.16
Sometimes it’s a good app but other times it’s just outrageous. If the bot has only the king left and you have many other players they get a draw if it’s vice verse you lose. It just has it’s moments there is probably better apps.
- Jas3jrs! · v4.10.15
First and foremost, the game said they’d notify me before my free trial for premium would end, I never got notified (yes i have notifications on) therefore the app charged me for the annual plan for premium membership. Secondly, the game review always tells me i played like a 1250 but my current rating is 500 and i can’t ever go any higher, it feels like im going against pros.
- KingOfFarts10 · v4.10.16
Noice game
- Sleepy Dibbles · v4.10.16
I think that chess.com is the best website for getting better at chess and playing for fun whatever you want to do chess related this is the best app for it

My dad was in a hospital for two days with the same issue with a kidney infection that I have been experiencing since the last year
- Iuugghjfgffngfcfdgdjdhfyuiggg · v4.10.16
Recently, it appears the tournament section is still experiencing major bugs. When accessing the current daily tournament tab, I have no options to select my tournaments, current tournaments, etc. These drop down menus were available before, but have oddly disappeared. I now have to go through a lengthy, awkward pathway to access and view the tournaments I am currently competing in. Another major issue is the app will not allow me to join tournaments. When I attempt to click the join button, nothing happens. It is not a timeout issue or anything else, and I know this because it won’t even display an error when clicking join. It simply does not work. I love the app and still use it, but seeing as the tournament section has suffered even more issues I have to lower my rating to three stars. Hopefully this can be resolved soon, because this app is still the best overall chess app to use in my honest opinion.
- FixFootballStrikeYouNarcs · v4.10.15
I found this very elegant as this game shows the perfect chess players. Also, you could play with players that you like any player you want you could play with them even if they’re a noob or a pro or they are the best player like Magnus Carlson then you can make it like him with this app chess.com has to be one of the most coolest things I’ve ever found 😆 it’s super addictive once you get the hang of it and then you finally get an addiction about about on Chess. This is where I started playing chess so bye!!!✌️✌️
- Nah doesn’t matter · v4.10.16
i like this game for some reason
- uhidkhonestly · v4.10.16
Love playing chess but the recent updates to this app are super weird. Voices are all over the place and saying weird things like “you made a boo boo” what are we children?
- Got Milk · v4.10.16
With Chess.com, I was able to beat my friends in chess
- Pooh-cups · v4.10.15
They sell your personal information to EVERYONE. I explained how they do it on a previous review but it’s not there anymore. They delete the low star reviews which in my opinion should be illegal. Use only if you want 15+ spam calls a day. Also they track your id, browsing history, location, phone number, etc.
- my coc name is dezz nuts · v4.10.15
Daily puzzles, good game play and you get to choose how you wanna customize you’re board appearance
- Aderson Garvan · v4.10.15
I been wining more then losing
- sklerosgood · v4.10.15
this happens all over in chess , not only something i've noticed here ; also very heavy handed about supremacy
- #actorstakenotes · v4.10.15
Great app the learn the game and get better daily. Buy the premium subscription if you’re serious about getting better. Play a few 10 minute games. I’m working on getting to 1000 rating.
- LegendKobe · v4.10.15
Overall just a great app. Play chess, learn with the Coach if you want, complete puzzles, etc. It’s really a fun way to learn and spend down time well by intellectual stimulation. It allows for theme changes and customization if that’s your thing. All together just really enjoyable and I use it quite often.

It fun ,interesting and get your mien thinking and helps your mind grow ❤️
- Top_gi · v4.10.15
I love chess! Honestly, I might love this game even more. There are many cool features like adding friends, playing against bots, and playing against your coach. I love the game as it is but if you want to make it better my one suggestion is to have an option to play with a black and white board or a gold and silver board because I played normal chess with my friend once and the board was gold and silver. (Also what’s my review name again?)
- Hello! 😍😍😍 · v4.10.15
The current app is much improved over Chess.com in the past. It is very organized and progressive with puzzles and lessons. Highly recommended.
- Blackie McGee · v4.10.15
Super invasive notifications and other retention mechanisms. I’ll play when I feel like it, thanks.
- Rob Roberton · v4.10.15
It’s generally pretty good but there is a recurring flaw in that some players have figured out how to trigger an abort when they fall into an imminent losing position. There are routinely many players online so never need to wait more than a few seconds to be matched to an opponent. Advise against enabling chat - there are as many trolls and haters playing chess as on any other social media.
- Elvis Musk · v4.10.15
My only complaint about this app is the puzzle scores. You can get 5 in a row correct and increase your score by 15 but if you get one wrong you can decrease your score by 13 and heaven forbid if you miss click a square.
- Esmann44 · v4.10.15
They made it so easy and quick to refund memberships 10/10

- Why do I need a n · v4.10.15
Generally, I enjoy the Chess app. However, updates to the app always force changes to my personal settings and preferences. So, updates force me go back through ALL of the settings to reset my preferences to the way I like them; this is a real pain!
- MobiAppDev · v4.10.15
Was called the n word because of my country. Reported the player and they were never banned. To the devs: I’ve reported them five times over the past month no ban. Even sent an email report no response. Edit: 7 reports now. Also if you play bullet it’s broken. You play with one added second after each move but don’t get a full second to even move. June 2026 clock still broken in bullet chess July 2027 bullet chess is broken
- NotTakenUsername123454321 · v4.10.15
The coaching is helpful and I enjoy meeting players from all over the world.
- Ciacster1967 · v4.10.15
Chess.com is a terrible money driven algorithm that’s based around making sure bots get hidden as real players to then make you compete against a robot when you’re supposed to be playing a real person
- AppleReviews2244 · v4.10.15
I’ve been learning chess on this app. It’s a fantastic education tool and my game has improved tremendously. I find I’m enjoying chess far more than ever before.

BEST CHESS WEBSITE!!!
- PRAYING MANTIS LOVER · v4.10.15
Guys, I get that ads drive revenue. But a 5 second casino ad before every third game I play is getting so annoying I'm about to delete the app. I shouldn't have to get another monthly subscription to not be bombarded with ads.
- tÿłēr · v4.10.15
I’ve loved chests since I was four
- Jossshaudnd · v4.10.15
I am so sorry but this app is extremely hard to navigate and use. It used to be simple and intuitive but now it's a strugglefest trying to set up a simple game with my friend.... Like bad enough that I had to leave a review I hope it will lead to improvements 😿😿
- AppExterminator · v4.10.15
Too many cheaters on the platform
- HeinsaluS · v4.10.15
So fun and was able to beat my dad in chess.
- Benny the chess player · v4.10.15
New home screen with carousels is a catastrophe. Please leave it alone. I don’t want to see puzzles on the top, there’s a tab for them. Don’t make my active games tiny—that’s literally the whole point of the Home screen. Don’t turn everything into a side swipe shelf/carousel. It’s terrible ux and the worst use of screen space possible. Make it simple instead of dumping every single option in the app onto the home tab. What a mess…
- SternAnchor · v4.10.15
This app made chess accessible for me and now I’m playing a game I had always wanted to learn. And I can play everyday with people from all over the world. Highly recommend.
- Viiiiiew · v4.10.15
This app is great for sacrificing the rook and leads to your life being taken over by Levy chess streams and tutorials.
- Zevboomer · v4.10.15
I’ve been hooked ever since I downloaded chess.com
- vin510829 · v4.10.15
Good app, but the cost is what makes it suck
- Lenny5135 · v4.10.15
Meh, I don’t feel like this game is worth it. Plus it puts so much pressure on you to pay for premium. I honestly think you should at least get 3 free puzzles and there shouldn’t be a limit on coach games. I do not recommend this for literally anyone. Pretty “surprised I haven’t quit yet, TBH. NOT A GOOD GAME!!!
- FlOwErBlOnDiE · v4.10.15
On bullet chess, it is very common to get a stalemate when the time runs out for a player, when there should be a clear winner. Also would love to see some of the chess mods come to the mobile app that are currently on the browser version. Otherwise a top notch app and experience. Cheers.

Have people who play the mobile app test your patches before you push them. Please god. The back and forward buttons during game review are now atrocious with responsiveness. You still have the move list right above the back and forth buttons so it’s easy to misclick and jump around when trying to advance move by move, then it’s impossible to actually go back to the move you were on because the place to press for each move is way too small to accurately land a finger or thumb. Move list shouldn’t be close enough that you can accidentally click it when trying to go move by move. Individual move buttons should be larger and separated so you can easily click on them, the UI in game review mode hasn’t been touched in ages, even tho you do these constant over iteration updates all the time.

Using analysis after a game ends has caused the app to crash for over a year it’s genuinely the most annoying thing ever
