Lichess has the better app imo, chess.com app crashes for me on both android and iOS. Great on PC but not great on mobile devices.

I've tried so many other chess apps and I think Lichess is the best choice for android.

Lichess for me!

Chess.com and lichess.org both have apps that are great

If you ever decide you want an offline-only app, Chess for Android by Aart Bik is the best option. But for your situation, definitely Lichess. Or chess.com if you like having to pay for features.

Chess.com

lichess.org

Easy to use, many useful features, completely free.

lichess.org

chess.c*m bad , lichess good💪

Sure thing. You do need to register an account, but that’s it. Have fun :)

As much as people pump up Lichess I'm afraid to say that chess.com's mobile app is better. It's built as a native app for both IOS and Android, where Lichess doesn't feel like a native app at all.

If we're talking about best server to play on via the browser then yes, it's an easy sell for Lichess. But if you're strictly playing mobile I'd give chess.com a try first.

To expand on this, Chessable and Chesstempo don't have native apps, however you can create a bookmark on your home screen for each site so they pseudo-function like launching apps when you tap the icon for them. They both work well enough.

My friend, the single best app is Chessbase. It has lots of features. I even bought it about a year ago. It's great! You can watch games, analyse them, record your own games in a databse etc.

Chess.com

Lichess.org

Lichess.

Lichess and chess.com can both do this. You don't even need the app, both work in web browsers. Chess.com has some paywalled features(completely outside of gameplay. They offer puzzles and lessons and stuff) and ads. But, they both work. Lichess has completely free puzzles and learning materials if either person is interested in that. I'm not sure which interface would be easier for someone in their 60's to learn.

Lichess/Chess.com

Chess.com

Using Lichess as an example, you could help them with the initial account creation, app installation and login. Link their two accounts as friends.

Now after telling each other over the phone that they're ready for a game, all they have to do is launch the app, tap the friends icon, challenge the other person to a game.

They can even leave their phone call/Skype call/WhatsApp call active, and chat to each other during the game. They can create a correspondence game where each side plays a move whenever he's free, with the game taking a week. They can play a real-time game while also having several correspondence games on the side. They can play against similarly-rated strangers if one of them isn't free. They can learn using Lichess training materials and practise, all for free.

Lichess

lichess

Lichess but specifically not the app since the app doesn't let you choose puzzle themes, and doesn't have Puzzle Streak or Storm, so I just use the mobile site which works perfectly.

Lichess and chesscom are the two big ones. You can play games for free on both but Lichess is all free, whereas for extra features chesscom needs a paid membership. Try them out and see which one you like more I guess

I prefer lichess but chesscom has better app imo, and if you play on website on mobile lichess is better than chesscom app, thats what i do

Both chesscom and lichess are great. Lichess has no ads and everything is literally for free. Also if you play a lot of fadter format games Lichess is way better when it comes to time scramble. I think Lichess reduces your time by half a second per premove or even lesser when chesscom reduces by 0.1. It sounds not a lot but a premove can win you the game

Chess dot com works great on android

Lichess. I had to uninstall chessdotcom since it refused to work on my android for some reason.

Also contacted the support but no chance. Evemtually gave up on it.

Lichess is a completely free app and website where you can play online with friends, strangers or use the many resources to learn.

Chess.com is another most used app and website where you can play online but most other features require a paid subscription.

Both of them work with both Android and iOS. Choose one which suits you best and whose UI is to your preference.

chess.com or lichess.org

either are fine

Well built app. I have been using Offline Chess and feature wise, this is similar for now. 

Would be nice to mute the sounds though. iCloud backup of progress  too.
