  • Does not load board.

    It works when newly downloaded but ever after boards do not load. I deleted the app and reloaded it again and it worked but when I closed it and came back later again the boards did not load. To bad, it is great the first time you use it.
  • New version - oh no

    The old version worked pretty well.

    You play a game on your phone, screen shot, resize and you can import to Chessify. This could have been improved but it worked.

    The new version, is slow, and now is way more difficult to import.

    It has new functionality for sure, but lost the core reason for why I would use chessify.

    Old version back please

  • Broken / scams purchase

    So I was told in needed to purchase to scan a book pdf but the app defaults to silver which won’t scan books. Trusting the app I paid for the silver but then realized the mistake as it still wouldn’t scan the pdf. So I upgraded to gold. But the broken app still shows I have silver year even though I paid for the one month of gold. So I tried to cancel everything and get my money back but cancelling not available for a couple days. Then the gold was able to be canceled but not the silver. Just avoid the whole mess. A nightmare and basically they took the money and I got nothing of what I wanted and I can’t get a refund. Buyer beware.

  • Love the app, but

    I love the app, but when doing analysis and running Stockfish I can see that someone is better but how do we know which color pieces have the advantage. It appears to be the same color for both. Some indication of who is better would be great.
  • Would be five star if there weren't a limit in cloud analysis

    Would be five star if there weren't a limit in cloud analysis.
  • Works just as I’d hoped

    This app makes it so much easier to study chess! I much prefer to study with books and this app makes that process much more efficient, saving me the time from setting up a position.

    Thank you very much for the review. Please also be informed that we have a PDF scanner which allows you to upload a book into the app and scan the needed puzzles. Also some great news about the scanner are coming soon. So stay tuned :)
  • Wonderful tool

    Excellent tool for chess players to study from books.It is accurate to scan the diagram and so convenient to save as PGN to analyze on the mobile or PC.
  • iPad rotation lock is bugged

    The rotation goes back to landscape after I scan a position. Very annoying.
  • Broken authentication and other issues make it useless

    Asks me to log in via gmail or Facebook or my phone number

    Also, when I start an analysis, I can only *see* the analysis of I switch to another app and then come back to Chessify.

    At least that was yesterday. Now, I can’t see the analysis at all.

    Useless.
  • Thanks for this great app !! I have a request

    This is the only app I found for iOS to scan image and recognizes the position accurately.

    Can you please make it able to share position to Lichess app?

    Edit : yes it does work , I forgot to edit my review . Great app! Thanks.

    Developer Response

    Hi, thank you so much for your review. The share function should work with Lichess. Please tap on the top right button of the analysis mode and choose "share fen", then select Lichess from the app list. If this doesn't work, please let us know. You can also copy the FEN and then paste it on Lichess.
