This list may be incomplete. A missing product or price doesn't mean it's free.
“Cheaters. Way too many cheaters. Horrible anti cheat. Don’t waste your time and just learn chess over the board or read books. This app will teach you nothing.”
“The Greed Is Sickening. Chill with the ads and locking any and all features behind paywalls. Went from a nice clean UI to gotcha game level junk ads.”
“Don’t subscribe. I can’t cancel my subscription through the site or through App Store. This is a scam for sure”
“Puzzles broken. These puzzles have many good things you can do but only 1 counts! The puzzle feature is broken!”
“Greedy chess. Most features are hide from paywall, cant wait you guys add limited plays per day lol”
“$200 a year to be treated like a criminal. I pay over $200 per year for chess.com diamond membership. I was accused of violating fair play policies without any conversation. I was accused of abandoning my games by a random report of Another player. This is like the digital version of being sent to timeout in the corner. I am so angry and will be taking my chess forever to another site. This place is just terrible. So many bots and their policies are just wrong and ineffective.”
“Overpriced feature package but solid. Not really looking to spend $10/mo for features offered for free on other apps/sites but chess.com imo has a superior UI”
“Questionable Matchmaking and Unfair Play. I’ve noticed a frustrating pattern with this app. When I’m not paying for Premium, I constantly face opponents who seem to play with Stockfish-level accuracy. I’ll lose nearly 200 Elo, only for the app to later admit that one of my opponents violated fair-play rules and refund me a whopping 8 points. It’s insulting. The strange part is that when I subscribe to Premium, I start winning more games and climbing the rankings. Once my subscription expires, I can barely win. Am I supposed to believe paying for Premium suddenly makes me a better chess player? I can’t prove the matchmaking is manipulated, but the difference is hard to ignore. It makes me question whether the app is doing enough to prevent cheating or whether some opponents are even real players. The lack of transparency and inadequate rating refunds make the experience feel unfair. Chess should be about skill, not how much you’re willing to pay.”
“They will charge your card. I blocked the transaction they ran it 4 times on the fifth it went through I’ve been trying to contact them no response going to open a dispute with my card. Game of fun though 120$ not fun”
“Ad bombardment & low quality games. Pros: (1) large chess community at all levels, Cons: (1) low quality games (stalling, cheating), (2) paid QoL features while competitor LiChess offers similar features for free, (3) ad bombardment & constant marketing, (4) server often lags”

Country figures are each storefront's own chart-based estimate and never show more confidence than the worldwide figure. Worldwide downloads can be higher than their sum: they also count storefronts where the app doesn't chart (priced from rating activity) and storefronts we don't track.
