Finally a straightforward chess app
Happy to pay for this app on all 3 platforms. I just wish that from time to time I could get a game as black. Is there a way to do this?

Great postal chess app
Latest version allows games to be exported as PGN. That had been my only gripe previously, so I now have no hesitation in recommending it.

Really Good App
The app is great. User interface very simple / user friendly and it also has great graphics. Overall a very good app.
The only issue, and this one is a big problem, the app does not allow users to download / email their games as a pgn file. For the paid version of the app, the email functionality should be added ASAP. There are lots of very good apps which are free, allowing users to e mail their games.

Great chess app!!
Hours of fun for chess lovers. Play correspondence chess with several opponents at once. Track your progress and see if you can make it to the top 100 leader board. Super interface and well worth the small price to rid the adverts (try the free one first if not sure). Highly recommended!!

Quality app
Amazing app. Play your move then receive a notification when opponent has moved. Play against Facebook friends or randomly allocated ranked opponents. Chat function and instant notifications works very well. Adds slightly got in the way of the forward and backward buttons so I bought the app. Well played.
