Chess With Friends

I’d probably buy this app to be rid of the ads, but there’s some serious issues that need to be fixed. It stop updating every other day or so. I have to remove and reinstall the app to get it to update and show me that it’s my turn. If this ever gets fixed, it’ll be a great app.

I think the developers just gave up on this frankly. I’ve been emailing them for almost a month asking for help with the software glitches. It used to be a fun way to communicate with my elderly father who LOVED this game. The games never refresh nor load, even though I am 100% sure my opponent has moved. Menus and features are freezing. I’m perpetually stuck waiting for their support team to fix this error. All they can say is that “it’s going to take a while” and then they ghosted all communication.

My 84 year old father is obsessed with this game, but for the last three days, and opponent’s move is not refreshing. it remains their move. likely a software bug?0

I’ve been a user/player on this app for YEARS! Finally going to ditch it. The lack of control over your own profile and inability to screen users/players is unacceptable. I’m done. Its chess, that’s all it should be. However, I’ve been harassed repeatedly by ‘players’ on a regular basis. Many of whom are either attempting to solicit bitcoin or themselves. It’s obnoxious and the app offers no solution to report them. I’ve met a few cool people on this app out of the thousands I’ve been played over the years (which I’ll happily converse with on another app). But it’s really unfortunate that I feel the need to find another place to play the game I love because the OG devs have lost sight of the users that this app was intended to serve. RIP Chess w/ Friends…..

Numerous issues as reported by many users, but now the connection to FB is broken. I logged out, and cannot log back in. As of now, I have no profile and my 6 years worth of history is gone. FB is reporting an error, “App not active, and the developer is aware”. Hey developer….. let’s get this fixed shall we?

After a recent much-needed update, they still fixed only a small portion of the issues. Notifications still not working although you darn sure get notifications if "Chess Master" wants to challenge you! Or if Tech support has replied to a message. But NOPE! Not a single notification if a player moves or sends you a chat!!!!! It's such a shame that in 2010 the app worked fantastic. Then it slowly degraded and with an update in February 2020 it all really went to heck in a hand basket!!!!!!! ZYNGA is sorry for not caring. How difficult can it be to repair notifications? They sure work in their "Words With Friends" app!!!! Ridiculous and takes the joy out or playing chess!!!!!

It’s lovey app with really bad management it has all kinda problems

This game is loaded with fake profiles, scammers and people constantly advertising for sex. Has potential to be good but in reality it is not.

Ever since the new update, I’ve been getting notifications that it’s my turn to play, yet when I open the app it doesn’t show that it’s my move, even after refreshing. I’m afraid I’m about to have to delete the app and redownload even tho it will cost me my gameplay records. I’m not happy about this and Zynga game support doesn’t offer any help.

Current games you are playing always disappear. You need to log out and log back in multiple times a day. The team at Zynga doesn’t want to fix the issues.
