Great Chess App to test your finishing moves

I love the app. I love how it makes me think. Missing one start because of the ads. There has to be a different way for finding.

4 out of 5

Would be a good game.

I am new to chess so I barely know how to play. Add a 2D mode because I can recognise those pieces better.

Great game, challenging levels

Great game and challenging levels. Just one comment, it would be great if the game progress can be saved in, and restored from
iCloud

Good for fun okay for chess

As a intermediate chess player I’ve already had a lot of fun solving these puzzles but the fact that the puzzles aren’t on the
full chess board is entertaining but not great for chess play.
4/5

Worth it

This is so far the best way to polish up your skills and learn new techniques you
Didn’t know before I look forward to what you guys have planned next I went 1010 3-4 times it’s addicting I love it though

Good Game!

Pocket Chess is a fun little game. I like playing it casually at home or on commute. Idk if I’m learning anything about real
chess but the levels are challenging enough and the pallet and visual design is simple and familiar.

5 out of 5

Good

Just put your phone in offline mode if you wanna skip ads, if your complaining about difficulty, just get good.

Lots of fun but needs iPad adaptation

Actually, a very fun app to learn about chess! I just wish that I could play it with my iPad propped up on its side, instead of
having to hold it up.

Great

Please make ad-free less expensive. The ads are so annoying and they make the concept less exciting.

5 out of 5

Do yourself a favor and pay to remove ads.

Very fun! a great way to work on pattern recognition

5 out of 5

Really fun

Would greatly appreciate a lil in game music. Something not too distracting but entertaining. Like maybe instrumentals or
classical stuff

Can I do ALL of this without a “hint”…

This is my GO TO game online. Finished 1010 but need to go back and make a clean sweep… won’t be easy. Would love to have
middle game challenges with the whole board! Love this game!

Good

It really makes u feel like you’re playing chess

5 out of 5

It’s a nice relaxing game

It’s not bad for a mini game of chess. It makes me feel like a genius when I win a game so if you want to play chess but you
don’t anyone to play with this is the game to relax with

Wow…

I made UIL a long time ago back in 4th grade looking back on this app makes me feel the happiness I felt when I practiced.

5 out of 5

Fun and challenging

At first was little hard but now I’m learning how to think before I move.

5 out of 5

Fun and challenging

I can’t help but open the app when I have a minute. Sharpens the brain pencil.

My 1st review in many years

This is simple concept but something is different and better about it than the other apps… honestly don’t know what it is but
I like this app more. Thanks!

And Lol I am still holding out on getting the paid version cuz I’m like that even though I should just do it

Fun and builds endgame skill

Love this little game. It’s fun, not overwhelming; and you will quickly improve at finishing off opponents.

5 out of 5

pretty good

still confused on how the hints work, but still a good game

4 out of 5

Too many ads

I like the game it would be 5 star but there’s an ad like every minute of gameplay

5 out of 5

Very good game

I love this game since it doesn’t require internet. Add more levels please.

5 out of 5

Really good

These puzzles really improve your endgame but I need help with my middle game and starting.

4 out of 5

more levels

when are you putting more levels?

4 out of 5

Good App, No Tactics

This is a good app but there are only mate puzzles as opposed to tactics.

Puzzles that involve winning material advantages or space advantages would be really interesting.

5 out of 5

Very cool

This game actually makes me think with like what one ad every 10 minutes because a level takes me a good minute if not more so
pretty cool

5 out of 5

Great game

Pocket Chess is a great puzzle/chess game. Also props to the sleek game design.

5 out of 5

Great mating drills!

I love this ap but there are a couple of game ads that pop up and are hard to get rid of. Otherwise , greet app!

4 out of 5

Ok but…

I wish you could turn off the mate count. I would rather have to figure out how many moves to mate on my own.

4 out of 5

Best way to get better at chess

I would give this game a 5/5 but it got boring a little to fast I got really good at playing chess and I thank this game for
helping me beat my friends in chess thank you

5 out of 5

Good puzzle game

This game actually helped with chess 👍

4 out of 5

Good game, but…

I wish the puzzle squares would stay in a rectangular shape. Or at least have an option to have all the puzzles rectangular.

5 out of 5

Beautiful Game

The only mobile game I play anymore. You can tell the developers really care about it and aren’t just trying to use you as a
source of money.

3 Stars

I’ve always wanted to get good at chess. But even though you can mate in 2, you can still mate in 3, 4, and even 5. I wish that
each level has 3 stars and you can try to mate 2 but allow it to let you mate in 3 and give it 2 stars or mate and 4 and give 1
star.

Amazing game for car

I love this game I’ve only been playing for about 10 minutes but it is a really good way to get better at chess

Really good for intermediate players

I’ve been having trouble gettting better but this really helps

5 out of 5

Great App!

Dear Developers,

Can I please have free no ad version of this app? 🥺

P.S.
If you guys give me that, Magnus Carlson is going down after I get done with all ~1000 levels.

5 out of 5

Good

Its good you don’t have to pay for Chess premium

5 out of 5

Very fun

Chess gets boring sometimes and this helps me find invisible looking cases. Fun and helpful

5 out of 5

Great

Love the app except for the ads. I wish there was a pay version of this just to stop,easing around with the ads

5 out of 5

very good

i can feel my brain getting better when i play this game

5 out of 5

Level progression?

This is an amazing app but would love to see levels that get consistently more difficult after level 50

5 out of 5

Excellent

Nice clean family fun for you by yourself.

Cool Puzzles, too much Ads

The puzzles are fun and engaging, but as the title suggests, the ads are absolutely insane. If you are completing levels rather
quickly, you are seriously watching more ads than chess.

3 out of 5

when it works right it’s okay

some puzzles make no sense in the sense that sometimes it will defend the king and say you failed, and then you’ll do the exact
same moves when you try again and suddenly it decides not to defend and you pass. it’s weird. it’s great when it works though.
TONS OF ADS but what’s new

3 out of 5

bad game movements

alot of the moves the ai makes arent the best moves for the match and id be stuck on a leve thinking about the ai making the most
logical move and the answer is made for the worst move

3 out of 5

ADS, ADS, ADS

An ad after every single game? What a waste!

3 out of 5

Good to start with

Was enjoying this App. Got up to level 280 and it stopped giving me coins. So I’m deleting it now.

3 out of 5

This game wants to collect your data

I really liked this app until it tried to start collecting and selling my data to such an egregious extent. I’m so put off.

3 out of 5

Need more levels.

This game needs to come up with more puzzles or recycle them because I neeeeed more. 1010 isn’t enough. Beat it in a week.
Pleaseeeeeee

3 out of 5

Modes

This game wood be better if it had modes by what i mean by that is maybe just MAYBE add a mode selection between “regular “
or… “perfect” it would add more “game” in the game.

3 out of 5

Ads

It’s actually faster to close the app and reopen it instead of waiting for the ad to finish.

3 out of 5

To Manny adds

It was a great concept but there is so much spamming adds

3 out of 5

Interesting

Nice puzzles but I can just use ica

3 out of 5

Fun game but has excessive ads

For the first 17 levels you don’t see many ads but level 18 and beyond you are hit with ads after every level but that seems to
be the norm these days for games. If you don’t mind sitting through annoying ads that repeat then have fun. I’ll be deleting
the game.

3 out of 5

hmmm

yeah pretty good difficulty scales randomly but it does help

3 out of 5

Have to start over with a new phone

Great game but I wish there was a way to save your info. I have to start over and go through 160 levels to get where I left off

3 out of 5

Challenging! But ads.

I love chess and how it makes me think outside the box. But I am finding that I am looking for the exit from the ads in this app.
Too many for the amount of time you spend on the puzzles.

Edit. Even if you mute all sounds, the ads play sound. Annoying. Dropped a star. Fix it.

3 out of 5

Fun game too many adds

I would give this game 5 stars but after every puzzle you have to watch an add

3 out of 5

Okay but wrong

The puzzles are okay but are sometimes wrong. There are times when the computer would have a different move but makes what is
essentially the wrong move leading to your mate in x moves. The partial boards are horrible.
