Chess for Watch & Phone

Edit: The developer has fixed my problem and several others’ as well. This developer listens to feedback! It’s everything I want in a chess watch app now, and only a dollar. Rating changed from 3 stars to 5! Previous review: This app looks nice and works well, but once you or the opponent get checkmate or stalemate, the game instantly puts up a huge banner in front of your game, informing you of that fact. Then, once you tap the message, it immediately brings you back to the start screen to start another game. I want to look at the final game board to review how many pieces each player had left, what I could have done differently if I lost, etc. Give us the option to view the final game board before exiting, and I will raise my review!

I downloaded this app a few weeks ago and so far it beats the original Apple Watch chess app, the app that comes with the watch doesn’t even let you play chess on it but this one is just simple and fun. The only bad thing is that the board is tiny on the phone and sometimes on the watch when you try to go to the home screen, or move a player that is in a cluster of other pieces it moves the wrong player or moves yours not where you want it to go. I have had it freeze only once. But overall it is the best chess app for Apple Watch

Edit: wow, every feature was just fixed. The only thing that’s keeping this from being perfect is that it’s hard to play on the watch because it’s such a small screen (lots of mistake moves because I didn’t tap on the precise location). Don’t know how that could be fixed though... maybe an undo button? Otherwise it works. Old review below: No castling, no en passant. If you mistakenly press the home button on the screen (which is easy to do) the game is lost.

I’m editing my original review witch had two stars for the lack of castle feature. Now that full chess is on my watch, this app is as great as intended.

App always froze on my phone immediately. Felt like I was scammed for a dollar.
