Chess-wise 3 for Android

Overall I like this app. Pretty much everything works, but I have a problem changing the level of difficulty in the settings. It is not accessible to a screen reader and probably needs to be redone so that it is accessible. I’m told it’s a drop-down menu but I can’t access or change it from the hardest level as it’s set as the default.

Best light-weight chess client for FICS I've found, and it's also free99

I have been using Chess-wise for several years. I’m a club player and I find it easy to enter games on my phone after I play one over the board while at the site and the game is still fresh in my mind. I can export and import PGN files with ease to / from my computer in various ways. I also find it’s a very usable FICS client. The databasing and analysis tools make a great reader companion and when i run on an Mobile its as useful as a very pricey pc program. The links to the latest tournaments and videos are a real nice touch. Once I had an import pgn issue and the developer personally responded within days and issued a patch quickly. For just a few bucks, i have seen this app grow with features over the last few years. There are occasional quirks after a release but they get fixed because the dev is active. Its fair to ask a few bucks because I have seen the effort that has been put back into this app over time.

Pretty good app I guess but some top players such as Capablanca and Judit Polgar are missing from the players list of top players. At least in my (2017) version. This doesn’t instill confidence in the reliability of other parts. Hope the tablebase part is 100% accurate.

Navigation within the game is illogical and beyond awkward. The developer apparently gave up on the game.
