Comments on SimpleChess - chess game for Android

★★★★☆ Ifedayo Osemudia · Jan 30, 2020

It's a very good chess app I like so much. However, there's a bug that prevents you from closing the app by pressing the "back button" of your phone. I've updated this app about four-five times now, and with each update, this particular bug is not getting fixed. The only way to close the app is by minimizing and then swiping it off your devices' "Recently opened" apps screen. This can be sometimes annoying, please kindly fix this in the next update. Thanks.

It is one of the best apps to play chess online. No need to sign up and there are always people online to play.

Paying to use stock fish analysis? isn't that against the terms to make money off stock fish? The players keep abandoning.

★☆☆☆☆ Radha Krishna · Jul 7, 2023

The updated one is not good. Old one is nice. No use of all those extras in the updated one. Now this is not simple chess it's a complicated chess.

★☆☆☆☆ Arun KT · Jul 5, 2021

At playing time connection lost many times. So I loose the game-- no win. Points are low. So not good app.

★☆☆☆☆ mitch cervas · Jun 7, 2020

Timers sucks because the 5 sec to opponent just turned into 20 seconds, is your timers have errors?

★☆☆☆☆ Dimitris Farmakis · Aug 10, 2025

Full of cheaters. You can report them but nothing happens. They are still there. Plus you receive an email from the app owner saying that he didn't find anything wrong in the game (!). Makes you wonder if they even know chess these people who "examine" the cheating game... Not recommended at all. A playground for cheaters.
