I am looking for blindfold chess apps.

PROXOSiS

The title describes it all in one sentence. I am looking for a chess app; I don't like having to type or do anything requiring me to see what's in front of me as it's hard to think with my eyes open.

There are plenty on the play store, but they all have their flaws. Some don't even have multiplayer and if they do the servers they play on either outright disconnect me or the ping is worse than a potato stuffed into a shoebox and launched into low earth orbit powered by the reflections of a bald head after it was cleaned with window cleaner.

Long story short I am looking for a decent, high quality blindfold chess app without having to deal with these trials and tribulations. Thanks in advance.

This is a really good tactical app for blindfold chess, since it allows you to visually move X moves, then find the tactic. 

There's also 

https://www.chess.com/club/blindfold-chess

but it is very inactive.

For a blindfold chess app with a focus on a seamless experience, I recommend trying "Really Bad Chess." It's available on the Play Store, and it offers a unique twist on traditional chess by introducing randomized piece setups, making each game a fresh challenge. The app also features a clean interface and straightforward gameplay, which should suit your preference for minimal distractions. While it may not be the traditional chess experience, its simplicity and engaging gameplay could be an enjoyable solution for your blindfold chess needs.

Chess.com has a setting where you can set the pieces to blindfold. Go to More > Themes > Custom Theme > Pieces, then scroll until you see something that says “Blindfold”. After clicking it, go to the Play tab, then the only thing you will see is the board! If you also don’t want to see the board, well, sorry but it’s better little than nothing, right? Take my advice and the other similar ones if you want.
Thank you!

Chess.com you can make the pieces invisible by going to settings-all settings-board and pieces-pieces. Then select “blindfold.”

Lichess also has some good blindfold settings.

Hope this helps!
