Ratings and Reviews
Highly underrated chess app
I have to say — this is the first chess app I’m writing a review for, and I’ll explain why. This is one of the few chess apps that not only shows openings and tactics, but also lays out main lines and variations for you. The format makes it a lot easier to learn than other apps, even more subscribed apps. Don’t overlook this one. I’m subbed to about four different apps, including Chessable, magnus trainer, and Aimchess, and this one is right up there with those other three. It has features that none of the others have. I chose to review this one because I was impressed; the others are good too but this one is low key really good too.
Unbelievable, Above & Beyond Support
After subscribing to this app for a year to learn how to play chess, I had issues trying to cancel the auto renewal. I emailed Support and Peter and I exchanged several emails where he took the time and effort to solve my problem. He was actually working to reduce his subscriber count and app revenue! That made such an impression on me that I’ve decided to renew my subscription for another year! Thanks Peter! Best wishes for your continued success!
Great, but…
I like this app very much. I play it every day. My one complaint is there is a display bug of some sort. Don’t know if it’s the app or my phone.
Most tactics start with your opponent’s move, the piece moving from the starting square highlighted in white with the animated piece sliding to the ending square. Very nice! But not every tactic does that. It is extremely frustrating when it doesn’t and the first move of the solution is to take a pawn I didn’t realize had just moved en passant. There’s zero chance I’d miss it over the board, but I’ve lost a lot of points because of this. (To be fair, I’ve lost more points from playing too fast - but still.)
If not for that, I’d give it all the stars.
