    Hate to say it but I give zero stars. After today's update, after reading it was for stability improvement, my chess still crashed after the player didn't move and I started a new game. Lost points again from automatic resignation.

    Ever since the most recent update this app does not work on my phone, the only way I can access games is through alerts, not through the app itself.

    Two stars and falling fast. Used to love this app, now it's almost unusable. Live chess server is unstable, can't hold an internet connection and continually freezes. Wondering if they will fix it before I finally give up and uninstall. Samsung Galaxy No
