One of the better cross platform chess apps out there. Works well from Wi-Fi and cellular (3g or better). There's a lack of consistency between mobile app, web app, and desktop versions. Needs to have better social features as it's hard to find your friends and chat notifications are non-existent. Android version freezes after playing from a notification (versus launching the app).

Lichess is great, but this app needs work. It used to be fine, but now pretty often near the end of games when time is running down, the app just freezes up and I end up getting flagged. It's really frustrating. If they fix that, I'll up my rating to four stars. Only four instead of five because you can't access everything on the app that you can on the website. But for now, please fix that endgame bug!

Probably the best free chess app available. Puzzles, online games, offline games against the computer. Still some bugs here and there. I just made a custom game and set the minimum rating to 2000 wanting to be crushed. I got a 1300 something instead (and won). Maybe next time I'll try minimum 1900. Edit: Also, sometimes an opponents move won't register until I leave the app and come back to it. I've watched my opponents time run out only to get a message that I've lost on time. Twice.
