Software Reviews and Criticism


  • By DuckStorm

    Great for Online Chess

    This is a advanced power-tool for accessing the paid subscription service of The Internet Chess Club. I like that the app offers both a nice graphical chess board and a powerful command-based console that exposes the full range of features available at the club without too many "frills". With that said, this app is for advanced users. People wanting a fancy graphical interface with menus, buttons, etc, should try "Chess at ICC" instead. This app is for people know already belong to the Internet Chess Club, know what they're doing, and want an interface similar to the club's advanced BlitzIn interface.

    Stable ICC Client

    Simple and intuitive. Much more stable than ICC's provided client. Only complaint is it will disconnect you if you minimize the app which is unfortunate if you play in any pools. Needs premove support. I recommend the app.

    Very well done

    Excellent interface. Stable, but provides the nostalgic feel of the ICC computer app. You should consider a PayPal account for donations. Thank you!

    Crazyhouse via iPad on ICC

    Worked as described.


  • By Valarts

    Cannot get the pieces to move!

    I attempted to play the "Training Bot", And couldn't get the pieces to move, Trying both the drag method, and the touch piece, then touch destination square; Nothing! The touched piece would highlight with a red square around it, but wouldn't move... and I kept getting the message "illegal move". ... trying both colors! I didn't see any instructions how to move pieces/use this app in general... Consequently it's worthless@ useless!
