Chessnut - Play Chess

This is a great app. I am in support of your product. Can you please add the feature that “beeps” when the opponent makes a move? It would be helpful to have a audible beep to tell me to move in case I am not looking at the board, or if I forget to see the led indicator. When the opponent makes a move, a beep will sound. It would be nice to control the duration of the beep. I would also like more control over the LED. Having the option to show the last made move with an illuminated LED would be useful. In addition, hi lighting the square the piece originally moved from would be nice as well. Example: white moves pawn to e4- now both theE2 and e4 LED’s are illuminated until black completes their turn. Please allow users to play their move before physically moving their opponents piece to a its new square. This would then allow us to not lose time on our turn moving an opponents piece. EXAMPLE: E7 and E5 LED’s are illuminated indicating lawn to E5. however, white is able to play their move immediately after seeing the E5 LED. Following whites completed turn, the user may now move the black pawn to E5, not wasting their own time on moving an opponents piece Maybe I am working or cooking not looking at the board l Thanks in advance for considering this feature. I look forward to the future of Chessnut and their relationship with their customers feedback

Android now has the new app! When will it be coming to iOS? Thanks Everything works great but we really need landscape mode especially for the iPad. Also need an upgrade path for those Air owners who want to upgrade to a Pro.

The software works well for the most part but when playing against the computer the time controls don’t work properly. No matter how much time you set the controls at the computer will always move quickly. It will end up with more time than it had at the beginning.

Worked fine but they updated it and it broke I guess. I can’t sign in, nothing happens. They really cheaped out on the app unfortunately and I’ll be attempting a return. Do not recommend.

Work well on iPad with the board. There are still glitches but they do not bother me too much so long I play play on lichess and chess.com. Issue. Cannot play blitz on lichess on iPad, Does not recognize board moves on move one sometimes

Latest update fixed any bugs I experienced. Ignore the Debbie downers; playing this board is awesome.

It insists on using portrait mode with my iPad, which is annoying. When I connect to Online with Chess.com it continues portrait mode and the board hogs the screen space so there's no room for evaluation of moves.

Received my Chessnut Air and it doesn’t work. I tried charging it and it won’t take the charge. It comes from China, but they indicate they are on vacation until after Labor Day. This is a waste of money since it works like any other board, and can’t reach anyone for a refund or replacement.

It needs landscape mode for the iPad. I use my iPad with the Magic Keyboard. It is ridiculous that it’s forced portrait mode at all. Let alone while connected to chess.com. I only use the app to connect my chessnut air board with chess.com, and there are no connectivity issues or problems with the physical board detecting moves. I have no plans to use the app outside of connecting it to external chess websites and engines, so I have no opinion on the quality of the built-in engine. Add landscape support, and the review will be 5 stars.

This app works on a phone, but it needs a landscape mode to support tablets. The AI also needs to increase difficulty more gradually.
