Chess Apps for Android

2/9/2014

Here is my list of the three best chess apps for Android (my opinion):

Entering games with variations and engine analysis: Droidfish
PGN viewer: Chess PGN Master
Opening tree functions: Chessbase

And here are two honorable mentions:

Training functions: Perfect Chess Trainer
Online play: Mobialia Chess

I do not have a favorite for tactics puzzles, but am open to suggestions.

UPDATE: My favorites for puzzles are: TacticTrainer and EndgameTrainer, both by CoreGames.

What about Scid on the Go, with an opening tree function, it would be near perfection, would'nt it?

Vladimir: Yeah, I think SCID-on-the-Go needs a graphical tree display. Chessbase's app is a good choice for mobile phones because an online cloud-based database saves hard drive space. I bought Chessbase's app 2 years ago when it was $4 or $5 but I see it has gone up to $10.49 now.
Opening tree functions are not so critical that I need it on my cell phone.
Now that i think of it, Youtube is a top chess app-- there are about 5 chess channels that are consistently excellent.

I recently started playing **Chess Social** and it's the best chess game for me on Android! Has full replay and comment features. Works on phone and tablet. You can also play with friends. Give it a try! Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudroid.android.app.chess

Of course the "chess social" comment is a promotional/marketing ad but I find nothing obnoxious about it. Cheers :)
