Comments on Next Chess Move for Android

★★★★☆ Tony Alberto · Oct 28, 2020
Good app and very strong engine once you use the dev build, but it leaves me baffled as to why the free website version is almost just as strong even with less thinking time. And when I use the website dev build it's stronger than the app—Weird. They can do a couple of things to improve my experience: 1) allow customizability of the board pieces. 2) Shrink the size of the board by default or have an option for it —this is, so we can use the app in split screen mode. 3)have more engine options.

I pay for pro but the app says trial over. Waiting for hours for response from dev, after the problem solved, he gave me one year's extension.
★★★★★ Amador Cuesta · Nov 24, 2022
Indispensable and unique chess app with many engines. Yearly purchase to a very strong hardware is also highly recommended.

★★☆☆☆ AKSHAY CHACKO · Apr 15, 2020
Make a chess play option. So that every time I shouldn't have to click on the calculate button
★☆☆☆☆ Saurabh Sharma · Aug 9, 2021
How to calculate when playing with black pieces, flip board just flip the board and still calculate for white.
★☆☆☆☆ Avinash Kumar · May 7, 2019
It always says that there was an error communicating with ncm servers I even paid for the pro membership. What a disappointment
