Pros and cons of Instant Chess app for iPhone and iPad

Instant Chess app good for

I like how it signs into Instantchess and seaches for an opponent in a single step. Graphics on the iPhone and iPad app are good but a little unconventional looking on the iPad app. Simple clean presentation with a quick and snappy interface. Dont like that I have to leave the app and go to settings to access the settings of the app. Hate the sounds but they can be turned off. A gong when you find an opponent and a clock ticking when your opponent moves. I find both extremely annoying. When I first used this app I felt it was too simple and lacked features but the more I used it, the more I appreciated the simple elegance. Its now my favourite online chess app and I have tried them all. Oh, one more great thing...if you loose the connection or get a phone call mid game, it signs right back in again automatically and resumes the same game. None of the other programs do that. Also, one innovation on the iPhone version is the crosshairs showing where your finger is when you move a piece. There have been a few different tricks tried in other chess apps to solve the problem of accurately moving that little piece with a fat finger on such a small screen and this ones seems to work the best. Finally, I found it to have the least lag off all the other chess apps when used over 3G.
Dad has been playing for 10 years on this service, affordable and lots of competition. Im in on it now too, great fun.
Great app but the interface isnt as intuitive as it could be...the gameplay itself is fine, however navigating from say selecting the board style you want and back to a game isnt obvious.
This game is the best online game you can get because I am on it and there is thousands and thousands of people are in it and its free. Best part is its easy to use.
Never had a problem. Great chess App and website. Always someone to play against
when the pawn goes to the queen, all resets, correct that or it is not possible to play.

Some bad moments

Be careful opening an account with this app, they refuse to close it
Crashes everytime when I try to cange pawn into queen. Only on iPad.
Best app for online live chess but no chess ai or settings. Its simple yet elegant.
used to play a lot untill they lied about an update saying that it was to fix glitches but the truth was that from now on you have a maximum of 3 games to play by day and you now need to pay to be able to play more than 3 games a day... lying thieves!!!
You get a couple free games, then you have to pay. What a misleading ripoff!
Developer advertises "Legendary Chess Set UPGRADE... So far its unavailable (at least to me) Any attempt to obtain customer service/support or ask questions not only about this app but just in general is met with no response. The site itself is not bad... but the player ratings are ridiculously inflated and can be easily manipulated by users.
