Comments on ChessCraft for Android

★★★★★ Katja Marjetic · May 30, 2026

Would rate 6 stars if you could let me make my own garb without bishop

★★★★★ Aleksa Manasijevic · Jun 12, 2026

Peak game Peak customization wished you can make a rule where you can betray your own pieces except the king of course (what I mean is by capturing your friendly pieces with your piece, hopefully I said that correctly)

★★★★★ David Bautista · Jul 16, 2026

It's a good chess app you can actually make your own pieces/board

★☆☆☆☆ Henry Rodriguez · Jul 19, 2026

Good Game, Though When I Upload Something, It All Disappears, And It Comes Back, Exept The Board, And Ads, They Are Awful, 2 Stars, Dropped from 3 to 2 because you refuse to admit that the rate chess craft and donate things are annoying ads, it's a trap to lure people in, actually, 1 star, constantly deletes things and when I play chess 2.0 it constantly crashes, oh yea hon top of it all the ads are persistent, want to play a game? Ad, want to make something? AD, this is honestly just scummy, 1 star.

★★☆☆☆ Jelly Kim · Jul 17, 2026

The only thing I don't like is that your pieces are wrong. Is an archbishop a chimpanzee? No. Is an Amazon a wizard? No. Also, berserker is wrong grammar. If you are describing it as berserk, you would say berserk rook, berserk bishop, etc. I wish you could make the pieces go further. And I wish the pieces could only walk to further distances. For example, a piece must move diagonally 4 squares diagonally by walking. If a piece blocks the path, it must find a different way. Roasting 1-star reviews?
