Ratings and Reviews
Good, but drains battery fast
I haven’t experienced the app crashing that everyone else seems to be mentioning. However, I’ve noticed this App drains the battery of my iPad incredibly quickly. 47 minutes of playing and I lost nearly 20% of my battery.
That’s more than any other game I have played on my iPad. Definitely unexpected behavior from a Chess app.

Horrible app, horrible execution
Unfortunately, FIDE does not deliver a well thought out product. With heavy lag during games, poor app response, glitches, errors, bugs... you name it. It comes across as a money grab with the sole approach of pushing a paid premium account... and even the process of creating a PRO account had bugs LOL!
And their website is no better.
FIDE should take itself more seriously as a prominent governing body of chess and fix their product. Respect your player base.

This is an updated version and is still defective
Updated today first game player stopped making moves and his time ran out. I checked my results which said I lost on time. Either fix this pgm or return my money.
