“So far the board is really buggy. The first game I tried to play with my son, the board got very confused thinking we had moved pieces we didn't or not recognizing pieces we had moved. It seemed to get confused most often if we touched a piece (thinking of moving it) and then chose another piece instead. I hope a firmware update can fix things or else I'll be trying to get my money back.
Edit: Support worked with me and things are working much better now. Hope it continues to work. Upped the rating to 4/5.”
“Really nice quality board,
Really nice quality pieces,
The app is just uh... Not quite ready.
Bluetooth only stays connected while the app is open, and not yet able to play online or reliably run a firmware update without something crashing.
Despite the app being almost unusable for me at the moment though I still say this is worth the 4 stars, since the only existing issues are things that will theoretically/hopefully fixed in the future.
I really don't want to have to try to keep forcing my phone to stay open on one app to keep a game going (when games are actually playable that is) so that's definitely a major thing I hope gets changed, because it almost feels like it's not actually using a Bluetooth service at the moment.”
“I got checkmated by my 4 year old,lol. This is a great teaching tool for new comers into such an intimidating game. The android app is in the works , but the hardware itself is plug and play. Definitely worth the investment for yourself or a loved one. Five stars till the app gets working as an app should.”
“Great! Two issues
1) board sometimes gets pieces mixed up. Need a way to change the pieces on the app
2) sometimes assist stops working during the middle of a game. Super frustrating when I’m playing with my kids.”
