Whats the best chess analysis android app?

Post by reflectionofpower »

Looked around and Droidfish is gone because of stricter Google store parameters. I need a simple no frills interface with options for adding engines to the app. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can download Droidfish without using the Google store.

This did not even come up as DroidFish. It came up as some sort of network utility. I uninstalled it. Stay away from this!

This looks to be the legit one. I will have to look at it later. Going to work soon - https://droidfish.en.aptoide.com/app USE CAUTION!

Excuse me? The link I posted is absolutely legitimate, and comes directly from the Droidfish author's GitHub repository. I'm a longstanding member of this community and I don't post bad links.

You tried downloading F-Droid, which is the "network utility" that you were complaining about. If you scrolled down further, you would see that there are direct APK links for different versions of Droidfish themselves.

I tried apologizing earlier but the new site was still in transition. I did not see it at first because I was in a rush to go to work. AT my lunch break I then looked at it again and realized I spoke to hastily. Thanks again. Droidfish works perfectly.

Glad you got it working for you, Lonnie. I was harsh with you and I'm sorry about that. You're one of the good guys.
