Very bad
It's full of bots. Possibly the developers themselves allow it. There are many cheaters using hacks. No matter how many complaints and evidence are sent, they do not respond. I DON'T RECOMMEND IT IF YOU WANT TO PLAY FAIR AND LEARN

App is hanging up frequently
I have been using this app for a long time, but since last December, I have been facing frequent app hanging issues. To use it again, I often have to uninstall and reinstall the app. Please resolve this issue, as it is quite frustrating.

Definitely way less cheating here than chesscom, however, I seem to lag wherever I play. Regardless of whether I'm on my cell service, personal wifi, or a friend's wifi my time always seems to drain faster than my opponents and in some cases count down 5-10 seconds after I've made my move.
