chess24 App Reviews

I wrote to chess24 an email 2 month ago to fix the problem that games ends during a game and ends with wrong times, so you have 30 sec left and the other player wins. You get only standard mails and nothing happen!! I will quit my prostatus

Playing and learning chess is great on this app. The only thing missing is correspondence chess and the video of live events. Still I can highly recommend the app which also provides a great analysis function for creating a opening tree.

An app that fails to register a new user, or use the facebook profile (oh thanks for grabbing my profile and email address and still fail to register) deserves 0 stars. Unfortunately the app store reviews begin with one star, so here is your star.

Great analysis and personalities. Men & women

The app was recommended by somebody in my chess club, so I wanted to give it try. Now I find myself using it almost daily, checking out current tournaments or playing some games myself. Im actually surprised the app is free for what it offers. Good stuff by chess24

I love this app with all the videos and broadcasting it does. I think there might be a problem with the engine though as sometimes the computer just gives up rooks and says equal (not for compensation just clear hanging pieces). It would also be nice in the video section to have a reset filter option as once I search for something I cant go back and scroll through all the videos. The video option in the broadcast doesnt seem to be working as well but Im not sure if thats just because of recent changes in broadcast options. But great app and recommended to all chess lovers :)

Read the news and watch live tournaments, then play a game or two, and check your mistakes with the engine right afterwards. Awesome.

No excuse for not fixing clock, time stamping and forfeit messages. General offerings good but a distant second to ICC for on line live play.

I always struggle to find quality news reporting on chess games. With the word championship going on I ran into one of the chess24 articles on the web and I was thoroughly impressed at the quality of content in he article. They had Twitter comments, cartoons and in very well composed. Kudos to whoever is writing your news report on the world championship.

This is probably the best all in one chess app for playing, watching live broadcast and listening to commentary. I wish they could include the auto play button when reviewing games without us having to press the arrow keys.

This app is overpriced, I will never pay 16.99 for just a year membership. Its a shame because its good for viewing chess tournaments. But in all other ways chess.com has it beat.

Chess 24 is a wonderful site with excellent tournament coverage and great training materials created by top GMs like Jan GUSTAFSON and PETER Svidler who work for them. But the play zone and the iPad app are DOGS and its really a shame. The iPad app hasnt had a meaningful update in ages. You will lose games you have in fact won, the app will crash in the middle of a game, the responsiveness and feel are slow and poor all around. Its a pity, their gms are strong but their coders are patzers!

I dont understand if this application was developed in 1 night. usually when I play I lose the game "on time" when my opponent time is 0 seconds. even if I play my move in advance it takes 3 seconds to do it. the same thing happens when I play in 3G,4G or WiFi. when I play on my PC on the same WiFi everything goes better. Im very disappointed and this application is a big "bug". Shame. In facts, if you have a lot of time but the opponent will make the move when his time came to 0 seconds, the connection for the game is closed. For the server your time continue to go on(but you cant see that, because the developer cut the connection) and youll lose at the end of your time. Really pity, to not fix an error like that on a chess program. vincent

Thank you for this finally completely free to play app. No commitment whatsoever for all features : )

Chess24 is by far the best online chess service and the iOS app is great!

I’m not a premium member, but the app is great for following top tournaments live.

Great app! Thank you!

The app is very good. The only thing Id like you to add is the possibility to analize all games I played, both online and with the app.

The application crasha after update in broadcast tournament

Waste of time. They want you to upgrade to premium to use the features which costs a fair bit considering it is a monthly contract!
