  • Time saver

    I read a lot of chess books and spend too much time setting up all the positions they are going over. I got this app so I can take a picture of the board in the book, and play out the position easily without spending time on setup. This app is perfect for that and seems to do other stuff too .
  • Very nice

    Major issue with the latest update. It is heating my iPhone 12 Pro.

    The Scan function alone would make this app a must-have. The other features are more than icing. Thanks!
  • This used to be good

    This used to be great: cloud chess engine much more powerful than a good PC, on your phone, for a reasonable price. Now the speed (nps) of ‘Superfast’ analysis is abysmal - my phone czn fo same or better, for free. In addition, very often the app does bot even get past the starting screen, basically does not work at all. This is unfortunate because they website , separate from this app subscription, is still great (they need to optimize their interface, but analysis speed is excellent).

  • Great but two hitches

    Love being able to use this to scan in a position from a book, the main reason for buying it
    Two things: after you have chosen options and begin playing over, you can’t flip the board, only at start. This is small but annoying
    And w
    Every time you open the app it selects move click sound, so I have to turn it off.
    No biggie, this app is great!

  • Not working on iPad

    This paid subscription App does not work on iPad Pro IOS 15.1 or 16.1.
    The App will not recognise chess pieces from photos taken within the Chessify App.
    Approaches to the Chessify support team have yet to result in a meaningful response, mainly ignoring the problem or no response at all. This is very disappointing from an Apple App store App and entirely unexpected!

  • program does not open

    developers do not respond for help. create a game does not open. it is dead. the first time used was ok, but then when trying to play machine again, the program goes limbo
  • App no longer works and now has a paywall

    App used to scan positions and have analysis. Now the scanning functionality doesn’t render correctly. They also added a paywall. I don’t mind supporting developers, but adding a paywall for an app where it’s most basic functionality doesn’t work is ridiculous.
