  • Not enough depth

    Limit of 10 moves even for premium is pretty dumb. There’s opening theory that extends way deeper, and it would be nice to be able to practice the main lines. The move limit seems like a pretty artificial restriction; I can’t imagine that expanding the move limit would hard feature to implement.
  • Great features. Intuitive and useful. Highly rec.

    Has opening books embedded
    Can comment on each move and position in repertoire
    Engine evaluation for each move
    Statistics of games for each opening move
    Other cool features like annotation symbols for position evaluation, move evaluation, or comparison to alternative moves.
  • Everything you are looking for.

    This app is all I wanted when looking for a way to memorize my openings. Don’t go and price gauge us after we’re hooked! Great job!
  • Great app

    I love the app I just wish it had sound.
  • Fantastic

    I love this app and think it's the best one around. But after adding a few dozen lines it becomes cumbersome to use. Can the indented lines be used to collapse the connected lines to make scrolling a quicker task?
  • Best opening App

    Easy to forget how good this app is. They recently dropped the ridiculous price and out a reasonable annual fee. Want a good 5 star opening app. Its right here.
  • An indispensable tool for opening study

    I paid for an annual subscription ($13, I think) and I use this app every day. It’s the best I’ve found for drilling opening lines. I’m better booked up than my opponents who use Chessable. I maintain my openings in a Lichess study and import the PGN to the app, but you don’t have to do that, you can just select lines in the app.

  • Absolutely brilliant

    This app is superb. Everything you need to store, track and train your opening rep, in a beautifully designed iOS app. I use this app for all my opening prep and training and would be completely lost without it. Better than cumbersome solutions like chessbase. Highly recommended!!
  • Loaded with adverts

    This could be a really great app, but it’s loaded with adverts.
  • Exactly what I was looking for

    I’m a 1200 rated chess player so I’m just starting to develop my openings repertoire. The standard way of going through PGN’s felt so clunky, I’ve been looking for a way to train my repertoire through mastery, and this app is literally perfect.
    I think the best way to use this app is to go through your chess.com openings explorer and look at all of the responses you typically get.
    To the guy complaining about only getting 3 openings: I think that’s a reasonable starting point, maybe 5 might be a nice compromise.

    I personally don’t need more than 3 at the moment, and 17$ is a little steep for me right now. I do implore you to offer a monthly subscription. They are much more appealing as an impulse buy and I’d love to support this app.
