Long story short, I bought the app thinking that it will be an amazing strong chess engine but turns out a free version of stockfish can wipe out this "strong" paid chess engine. I would like to know why this lizard CAN'T beat a free version, that according to the ELO chart stockfish is weaker. It drains a hell of cores, it rush to analyze king safety, it doesn't look for strong attacks. I would like to have an engine that can beat stockfish. In my free time I just like to see chess engines battling to each other. It's disappointing and raging to see that you wasted money when you could have used the free version that is out there. Nevertheless, I appreciate your work and this is a constructive review of your failures. I like komodo as much as I like stockfish. The latter seems to be stronger than yours. Fix that. So I can continue bragging about how strong komodo is and not be ashamed of the beat down my chess engine is taking from free open sources like stockfish.

Recently since the last update Komodo is crashing during 3minutes+ 2 second increment, displaying "engine error, engine closes" please fix this, I also noticed that Komodo 8 crashes as well, so Maybe it's a problem with the DroidFish app, though stockfish hasn't crashed so far

For android mostly komodo 10 not win to black side( draw ). With no doubt Stockfish 7 is better than Komodo 10. I have tested several matches in different time conditions and everytime i found either Stockfish 7 wins or draws. Even the draws are lame by repeatation of moves by Komodo. And in case of quick timing like 2 minmatch or 1 second per move match I saw Stockfish 7 Always wins. Chess Droidfish king -update new version

They really need to make it better on lower think time because sf 7 outright kills it on anything less than 120 min and it really needs its own opening book

Is there a way to make it better at blitz? It loses to stockfish a lot on blitz and was wondering if there's a configuration to make it stronger in that field.

It's good but it still loses to the computer version of komodo 10 even though the phone version has 8 cores

I've used many engines on Android & PC (Komodo, Stockfish, Houdini, Rybka, Hiarcs, Shredder, Fritz, Chiron, Fire, etc.) & some of the reviews here really annoy me. Many people whine that SF is free & stronger than K10 but overlook many important facts. For example: 1)The difference on virtually every well-controlled rating list is currently negligible. 2)K10/K11's style of play/analysis is much more customizable than SF8. 3)Every engine has its own style. Komodo is known for its strategic ability--especially in complex endgames. This is rare & invaluable for serious analysis. 4)Time controls & small changes in engine options can make big differences in results. (With an earlier version of Komodo, just changing time usage from 0 to -1 improved rapid & blitz strength dramatically.)
