- Dennis Gordon · v1.7
very good engine for as long as i can remember. 10yrs already?
- Bernard Ong78
ok, but please add random color play dont just make me choos black of white every time
- Andrei Busuioc · v1.9
Lovely style of play, and the openings are a very good fit for the elo rating you choose. Best chess I've tried on Android.
- Stephen F · v1.9
please give flip the board option.
- Saroj Sharma · v1.9
good

I have been an enthusiastic user of both Shredder and Hiarcs for many years - they both rate my Elo around 1800??? and had anticipated giving a five star rating but this version only works offline for a short period of time. If this is a problem for you I have found Chess Pro and Lichess to be better options.
- Rob Owner · v1.9
its great honestly, but can u just add some feature like copy paste PGN and also a much better analysis? it's kind of weird to see that this app lost track of the real game board movement as soon as im trying some trial and error when analyzing my game :/, i mean, make the game movement (chess notation) become "recursive-like" (look at lichess for example), and also somehow there's a really short time of freeze (most people wont notice it but I did) when you make a move
- mug · v1.9
good program has everything you need,elo ratings, evaluation, different boards and pieces, tactics.
- Larry Beane Jr. · v1.9
Revert the graphics changes, nobody asked. Thanks
- Ricardo Thomassini
I came into this expecting that it would be coaching me on how to play better, but the extent of the teaching is that it will sometimes tell you if you make a really bad move.
- Mr Pie 5
They made it stronger when it needed to play weaker. It's crazy strong at 1200. The computer really only makes mistakes when I play basically bullet chess. If I dare to think, it becomes GM shredder. Horrible design. Edit: Jesus, that patch makes it impossible to play against. Sad.
- crbrearley · v1.9
The interface used to be pretty nice, but they changed it- and really ruined it. The settings you choose don't work. like muting the sound. it may have to do with recent android updates. I hope it gets fixed soon.
- A Google user · v1.8
May not be the strongest engine now but it's a beautiful experience and a lovely interface.
- Steven Jones · v1.7
0 out of 5 stars. very ugly game. the fact that you deserve money for this garbage and then you promote in your description that with an in-app purchase I can have another person play against me on my phone. how could I subject someone else to this garbage. that feature should be included and not an additional cost. Google allow me to give this a zero star.
- Erik Piekarski
Very nice.
- Phil · v1.7
Best offline chess app
- Konstantinos R. Sidiropulos · v1.7
A lot more improvements and bugs to fix! Keep it up. I am loving the app really.
- Kid Chester · v1.7
good way to improve your chess skils
- Uma shankar Mahapatra · v1.7
Thanks for Continuous Support n Development
- Shyam Vagish Giri · v1.7
The best
- Chris Lawrence · v1.7
I have to say a big thank you to the Shredder team. I've been using your engine for as long as I can remember and i really appreciate that you keep developing this and other software. It makes a difference. Quite unlike good old CB whose apps are dying and the ones that were bought no longer work on modern phones.
- Matt Littlewood · v1.7
I have had this app from 2014. It is an OK chess game and doesn't have micro transactions! It has failed to evolve meaningfully in more than 10 years, but it's become cheaper!
- Cristian STEFANESCU · v1.7
Fantastic chess companion app.
- A Google user · v1.7
Jhaatu app, wasted my 50 Rs
- Roshan Nag
excellent chess game
- Stephen Clay · v1.6
Good app, but saving our past games for reviewing / analysis is not available. If it is included its a great app.
- J.R. Julius · v1.6
Perfect for studying positions
- Jeremy Belew · v1.6
Was a very good app, but then randomly started charging and now it doesn't load. Look for alternatives.
- A Google user · v1.6
Good, strong chess program with all the essential features. The feature that lets it adjust its playing strength to your level is very handy, and it gives what I think is a pretty fair estimate of your rating based on your performance.
- Joe Brooks · v1.6
Good 👍
- Mokono Andre · v1.6
Excellent 💋
- Rebecca Ivy
Spiele ich gerne. Der 90°-Rotieren-Bug wurde auch behoben. Der Trainer ist manchmal etwas eigenwillig. Ein Matt-in-2 statt Matt-in-1 ist kein Zug, den ich zurücknehmen will, bzw weswegen der Trainer böse gucken muss.
- Alexander Gräf · v1.6
Mind blowing 🤯 this is the master piece 🙌
- Thorikie Twins · v1.6
Can I get money back? the tutor is not adequate and is too basic
- Juan Flores · v1.6
There is an unexpected problem that I am facing When I open app and want to play it always goes blindfold mode(invisible) No chess pieces show on board.. Plz resolve the issue
- kuldeep singh · v1.6
Tried on Android, Of no use, you would not understand why the engine suggests/plays particular move. UI is very bad. They will not refund if you don't like.
- nishanth kumar Singh · v1.6
Brilliant, very good if you already know how to play and want to get better.
- Ericson Willians · v1.6
Fantastic!!!
- Illya Bjazevic · v1.6
The first chess engine I have played with when I'm still a teen(online) and Shredder helped me improve my play by practicing with it everyday.And now it's in Android and I'm glad I purchased it.
- Mhoadiev de la Paz · v1.6
I like the game but I find the 'TACTICS' mode a bit lacking. In the game mode you cannot move onto an invalid square. In the tactics mode there is a huge, annoying dialog that pops up to tell you. An invalid move should be represented by the target square going red. When the problem has been completed an other huge dialog appears to tell you. This should not cover the board as one wants to review the moves and check the final position to learn what the best moves were.
- Richard Bosworth · v1.6
Impossibly strong unless you tell it to go easy on you.
- Ari Nordström · v1.6
Good
- Darani G · v1.6
I'm a new chess player with no knowledge of the game. I am looking for a chess app to teach me how to play. This is the second app I've tried and unfortunately, like the first one I tried, this app does not explain, show, or teach you how to play either. This app gives you tactics to try but tactics are rather useless if you don't know how to play chess. I will keep searching for an actual beginner friendly chess app.
- Misheya · v1.6
Best Chess app for android. Rates your elo playing level. Very configurable.
- Dean Moses · v1.6
Elo scale is horrible. Don't let your kid get discouraged by playing to against a "1400 Elo" opponent. What a joke.
- Piotr · v1.6
Best off-line chess!
- Orlando Lucian Dinu
Forces draw when I clearly will win.
- Robert Coronel
Excellent app for computer chess Only android opponent no online chess
- தமிழ் ஜோதிட மாணவர்கள் வாங்க ஜோதிடம் பழகுவோம் · v1.6
Excellent game with smooth customizable interface and very strong opponent. No frills, just the game with useful hints, elo rating, and no in-app purchases. I particularly love the well-designed, clean chess board and pieces. Still one of the very best Android chess apps after all these years.
