Comments on DroidFish Chess for Android

★★★★★ Good app but please provide different engines and pieces..the aquarium pieces are so beautiful😭 I need it

★★★★★ The best app for Chess. Also, reading editing and sorting Pgn files is quite easy. You can also use other engines like Leela etc apart from Stockfish.

★★★★★ Are the stockfish versions used here same strength as those that participate in TCEC tournaments? It is already stockfish 14! No update?

★★★★★ By far the best engine you could pay for on the app store, or anywhere really (and its free you dont even have to pay for it!).

★★☆☆☆ please update too make is stronger

★★☆☆☆ I would have given this app zero stars, if there is an option.. the latest update ruined this engine.. I'm a dark mode user and I can't able to change the board color to previous default blue/white version.. the app automatically uses the dark mode option without authorization.

★★☆☆☆ The time control didn't work!!!! I only give 2 star. Bad!!! 👎
