Left a review years ago and am updating. App is still okay, and they did add online multi-player (although I don't use it) but man the ads are so intrusive. plus some of the ads that seem to trick you into thinking you are skipping or X-ing out, and it takes you to the download page on Google play. overall: fine app but the ads have gotten terrible.

Apologies about the ads but we cannot control their behaviour and we have fewer ads than most free apps. These new ads drop you into Google Play and you can immediately hit the back key to return. Ads pay for the development of the apps and a one-off purchase of the Pro version gives you a lifetime ad-free for about the cost of a cup of coffee.

Nice app! I've been using it occasionally since 2016. Now I'm able to win at the highest difficulty level of 12, so I'd suggest increasing the engine strength. Sure, it's always possible to play against Stockfish, but you know — it feels great to beat a computer at the "highest" level. So, it would be nice if the developers added more levels :D just to stroke my ego even more XD

Update: the skip button just keeps going to Play Store. back button back to ad. endless loop. Ads lock up phone. Full screen ads with no way to clear them without just closing the whole app and starting over. Most other apps have ads you can clear after 5 seconds or so. Not these, they last forever. Seems like they're trying to annoy us enough to pay for ad-less but they're just annoying me to uninstall.

We're sorry you're seeing a problem with ads. Ad is designed to be skippable after 5-10 seconds with >>/X/Close, however ad networks control the size and responsiveness of >>/X/Close along with all other ad behaviour so please report any problem cases on your device to [email protected] to help us investigate and get bad ads blocked.
