![]() SCID on the go also allows you to load engines in so you can combine your database and engine fix in one single app! Price: Free You can then easily search the database on your phone. You can add any SCID formatted database into the scid folder and load it into the program. Scid on the go - This app is a personal favorite. If not, it is still a very good interface for working with Stockfish. Price : FREE If you are a power PGN user, this app is great. It is also more expensive, and I have found it buggier Price: 7.99Ĭhess PGN Master- I'm not sure the name describes the app well, but Chess PGN Master is a wonderful PGN viewer and editor with Stockfish included. Shredder- Shredder has a very nice interface, but it lacks many of the features available in Stockfish. While it may not have the prettiest interface, it works very well and is quite full featured. Price: 4.99ĭroidfish - This is a solid port of the stockfish engine to Android. Note that this is only the engine, you have to connect it to a GUI like Analyze This. Personally, I find it the most positionally savvy of the engines that makes its evaluations more human readable and instructive. Komodo 10 - Currently, the world's most highly rated chess engine, Komodo 10 will make mincemeat of even super-grandmasters. It is my go to app when I want to seriously analyze a game on mobile. The pro version includes additional power features such as the ability to add annotations and comments. There is both a free version and a pro version available. It includes Stockfish and Critter (other engines are installable) in a very appealing and smooth interface. Price: 1.99Īnalyze This - Analyze This is a very nice engine app. Your Move (NEW) - For those of you who are serious correspondence players, Your Move is the perfect way to tap into correspondence sites like ICCF on the go. If you have a child or student who plays chess, you should definitely get them on it Price: FREE It's all the same technology on, but in a kid-friendly presentation. Price : FREEĬhessKid (NEW) - Our site for kids is an amazing way for kids to play and learn, with puzzles, games, videos, and lessons. The android app is well-designed, and it allows much of the functionality that is available online. You can play live games, solve tactics, watch videos, and follow live tournament coverage. Price: FREEĬhess24 - Chess24 is the newest server on the web, but it is clearly a very innovative and well thought out venture with big aspirations. However, it is by all accounts an excellent server with many strong players, and the app, like all chessbase products, is very well done. Admittedly, I have limited experience with playchess because it is tied to Chessbase products which don't work on LINUX (my preferred OS). The app also includes great features like access to puzzles, a full featured console, pgn viewer and more. There are many GMs on regularly, and the app works well. It's almost as richly featured as the site is, and new features like engine analysis are making it even better! Price: FREEĬhess at ICC - ICC is the grandfather of internet chess. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it is the most complete chess app out there. Your experience with different devices and Android versions may vary.Ĭ - What is there to say? Clearly, I'm a huge fan of what we do on as I've been playing, writing, and now working on for years The app allows you to easily play live and daily chess, to solve puzzles, to watch videos, read news, etc. NOTE: I currently use a Nexus 5X and a Pixel C, both of which are running the latest versions of Android 7.0. I have played with many of the popular android apps that are available, but I am sure I am missing some so please include them in the comments! After a little searching, I did find a few articles, but they were a bit dated, and they didn't include some of my personal favorite apps so I decided to write an article for the Android fans out there. As an Android user and fan, I wondered if there was a comparable write-up on Android apps. However, as IM Silman notes in the first sentence, the article is exclusively about apps for Apple products. I recently enjoyed reading Jeremy Silman's Chess Life Online article on his favorite chess apps ( ). If you have a suggestion, please message me or mention the app in the comments, and I will give it a shot. I will indicate the most recent additions via the (NEW) tag. Mostly, I will add new and excellent apps as I am aware of them. NOTE: Hello all Due to the popularity of this particular post, I have decided to update it regularly(ish) so as to keep it a current resource. ![]()
