The app, overall, is speedy and works as intended. Unfortunately, I see no way to start a rated game that isn’t random. Why can’t we start a rated game against our friends? Also, it’s been like this for years now- the chat deletes apostrophes. It’s the only app I’ve ever seen do that. -- Sleestak1589, 2024-08-31 ### ***** "Solid app" This is a great app that allows you up to five days to make your move. It’s not unheard of that anyone takes that long but 95% of moves are transmitted much more quickly, often many moves are exchanged in a single day. It’s just up to each player. Back in olden times moves in postal chess were transmitted via postcard, so this is much better. Opponents are fellow humans of approximately the same rating. When first starting you are paired with lower rated players, and some of them ghost you (which after five days gives you a win on time) but as your rating improves and you are paired against ever stronger players, you’ll practically never get ghosted. The app has a good demonstration board which allows you to try moves and lines before committing, which along with other resources is allowed in postal chess. (Except one should not use a computer engine to suggest moves; note on that below). There’s a note feature to save idea and moves. I’ve had up to ten games going at a time with no problem, and theres no reason you couldn’t have a lot more than that. Notifications tell you when opponent has moved. Countdown of the time left on the “clock” of whoever’s move it is is clearly expressed, at first in terms of days, and then the last 24 hours is expressed in hours. Then the last hour is expressed in minutes. The free version has ads that are very unobtrusive and was completely satisfactory but I paid the modest fee to get rid of ads, mainly to support the developer. The paid version is a overall better experience but not necessary so long as the developer allows th free option . There is room for improvement. 1. The rating system mimics the Elo rating system but gives wildly inflated ratings compared to US Chess Federation or FIDE ratings. I’m a C class OTB player (USCF) but my rating on the app currently would make me a virtual international master. I am nowhere near that strong and it would be preposterous of me to brag that I have a 2400 chess rating, as I currently do on the app. That’s fine because the ratings work well relative to the ratings of others on this same app, and are used only for pairing purposes, but anyone who is inexperienced in chess ratings could easily get a hyper inflated idea of his or her own playing strength. 2. It would be handy if one could simply swipe left on a game to go to the next game instead of going back to the list of games and selecting another game to view. That’s nothing if you only play one or two gam -- milesoftrane, 2024-06-28 ### ***** "Best chess app out here" Have not found a better app for playing chess than this one -- kingnate9090, 2024-03-06 ### ***** "I love it already!" I have played online chess on many platforms but I love this one because it is simple and easy to navigate. It has just the essentials without all the distractions and modes like chess.com -- Chandler Klebs, 2024-02-04 ### ***** "On my 1st home screen" This is THE chess app to own for rated multi-player. The icon is on my first app page. Chess pieces have clean bold design, easy to identify. The rewind and plan ahead features are invaluable. The new puzzles feature is incredible!!! FEATURE REQUEST: Please offer an option to disable vibrate when another player makes a move on a different game while I am concentrating on my current game. -- Colb20130210, 2022-04-28 ### ****- "My idea" I would like to be able to view some game of the better players. Maybe you could hide the players names if necessary. Thanks. Love your game program. -- bushhog1953, 2021-09-07 ### ***** "Best Chess App!" Love playing here 😎 -- oelo_, 2021-06-05 ### ***** "It works. No bugs." A pleasure to use. -- HelperJoe, 2021-04-14 ### *---- "No notifications" I receive no notification when it’s my opponent’s turn although I already turned on notification in Settings . I’m using Iphone 7 with latest iOs version. Please fix. Thank you -- ofjit, 2020-05-19 ### ***** "Love this chess App! Works great!" Feature Request: There really needs to be a block function to be able to block other players if they become offensive! Once you are matched in a rated game with someone all you can do is end the game. Once you end A game the offensive player is still on your play list and they can still send messages to you. This needs to be averted! -- Hal9ksrc, 2020-03-20 [View all Chess By Post Premium reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to Chess By Post Premium - [Chess Puzzles: World Champions](https://apptail.io/app/chess-puzzles-world-champions-sFb/united-states) - [Chess Puzzles - Classic Modern](https://apptail.io/app/chess-puzzles-classic-modern-Yye/united-states) - [Mate in 1 Chess Puzzles](https://apptail.io/app/mate-in-1-chess-puzzles-KLsc/united-states) - [Mate in 2 Chess Puzzles](https://apptail.io/app/mate-in-2-chess-puzzles-LLsc/united-states) - [Milkmaid of the Milky Way](https://apptail.io/app/milkmaid-of-the-milky-way-Twyd/united-states) - [Mate in 3 Chess Puzzles](https://apptail.io/app/mate-in-3-chess-puzzles-xNxg/united-states) - [Odesys FreeCell Solitaire](https://apptail.io/app/odesys-freecell-solitaire-Qiyg/united-states) - [Ludo Chess: Roll the Dice](https://apptail.io/app/ludo-chess-roll-the-dice-Pqbm/united-states) - [GPT Chess](https://apptail.io/app/gpt-chess-lvhp/united-states) - [MindChess](https://apptail.io/app/mindchess-OiEx/united-states) ## Chess By Post Premium Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/united-kingdom) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/germany) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/canada) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/sweden) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/switzerland) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/india) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/mexico) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/new-zealand) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/norway) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/romania) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/finland) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/czechia) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/belgium) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/philippines) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/portugal) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/argentina) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/vietnam) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/austria) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/brazil) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/colombia) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/egypt) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/france) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/greece) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/hungary) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/ireland) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/italy) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-premium-UqIc/kuwait) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
