Chess Clock by Chess.com

The app does what you need it to but the problem is that if you use more than one finger to hit the timer, it won’t count. You have to use one finger for it to consistently work. If you slap it like you would a regular button, multiple fingers touch at once and it will not always register a click to switch to your opponent. Easy fix on the developer’s end if they see this! If using only one finger to hit the clock isn’t an issue for you, then this is a great app!

A timeless test of the human power. The ultimate dual of instincts and planning and tactics to determine the worth of a person. Chess Grandmasters, the most prestigious line to walk this green grass. Chess is not a game but a test. To be a Grandmaster is to master the art of thinking. Chess as it evolves, sees new play-styles and possibilities. With these players so bursting with intelligence, not only can they pull off mind numbing moves, but they can in matters of seconds. This is what makes this here application so interesting. A utility for the purpose of tracking the time of each turn. How long are you playing for? Thirty minutes? An hour? Perhaps a mere three minutes. This clock has you covered. It can instantly switch the turns of each of the armies and determine who falls short. This is what determines the worth of a man. A player so reckless they could not dare to approach a last square before the timer goes blank. Blank like their head. This is ultimately how somebody is immediately identified as a worthless piece of scum that does not deserve life. One thing however this app falls short from is the cheese integration. Cheese not chess. The app has no mention of the renowned chess cheese rewards system, and may you know I am a cheese master of sorts, so this being absent from the app was UTTERLY (wink wink) heart wrenching. Besides this irreversible blunder, I am proud of the human race of accomplishing this feat. Bravo world! And a Merry Christmas too.

When using this app on my iPhone (12 pro iOS18) the brightness on the phone and does not allow the clock to be visible in certain outdoor settings.

I love the simplicity and ease of use. Easy to set up and you are ready for a game.

Just what it’s needed to play timed.

This is a great App to have on your phone! We have used it as a (backup clock) during our Scholastic tournaments…. Alton Academy 4 Chess

I revised this two four stars because it does add an increment - note, NOT a delay - but it adds it back after your move. I believe that is called, “Fischer After”. You cannot change that method. I was looking for a clock that gave a simple delay Before the timer started. So I was befuddled because no matter how I set it, the clock started immediately and time was not added on in the beginning (Fischer Before) as was done with other clocks. So, yeah, this works. But it would have been nice if the method was better described.

I hosted my own tournament!! We were on a budget so, we used this app for the clocks, it worked great!!

This is the best chess clock app ever! Very easy to use and is versatile with its custom time controls. Highly recommend to use this when playing speed chess on a board.

Very useful
