Hi, thanks for your review. We do plan to add an ipad version in the near future. :) So please stay tuned.When Scanning Photos
First off this app is great so far
I am able to organize Chess boards from a book i am studying.
However,
When I take photos of boards my photos show newest at the Top
For some reason when looking at my photos from this App it switched the order of just the boards.
This is just the data entry phase very boring and cookie cutter
It’s amazing how wrong you can be when entering information for the wrong board.
It’s actually making my head spin
Just letting you know this happened
Again this app looks like exactly what I am looking for to organize my study of this book
Keep you updated on how it goesShow lessStevethedrummer

Hello Steve, thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad to hear our app helps you with your chess training. As to the saved games and positions, they currently appear from newest to oldest. Would you prefer them to be saved in the reverse order? If yes, we'll take your suggestion in to account for our future updates. You can always send your feedback and suggestions to info@chessify.me. We'd love to hear from you. Have a great day!Downhill - now paywalled
Used to be a great app, now u only get 5mins of use before it paywalls you. Oh, and the meter runs all the time as it analyzes to ridiculous depths nobody needs, u can’t make it stop at like depth 22 after a couple of secs, no it doesn’t stop, it keeps burning thru your time. I now give it my lowest rating: Garbage AppShow lessTalkerz2
Frustrating scan function
I use this app primarily to solve tactics puzzles so I rely on the camera scan function a lot. However, 3 out of 5 times I scan a board the recognition is buggy. Either the board GUI is completely blank, or it shows an initial board. Missing a rank or file is not even failure to me since it at least recognizes part of the board. I subscribe to the analysis service but this scan bug makes the app essentially unusable. I hope it could be fixed in the coming updates.Show lessWong Lo Kat

Dear Wong, we're sorry to hear you encountered problems with the scanner. Please consider updating the app to its latest version. We always work to improve our features. BTW, some great news about our scanner are coming soon, so please stay tuned. ))Limited scan!!!
This was a best app in this field
But now just want to get money for subscribe 🙁🙁🙁dr najafi
awesome app!
the ability to scan printed chess positions and have the app convert to playable positions with ability to export to any program opens up a new universe: the connection of printed chess books to ChessBase and similar programs. Well played, developers!!kg9ml

I really think this app is gonna help take my game to a new level.Micresendo3000
How use Lc0
Great app.
Question: Is there a way to analyze using Lc0? The only engines I see are “Stockfish 11” and “Superfast.”
Thank you.Metaphysicianx
Doesn’t work
Taking a picture of a chess board does not work as expected. I took a screenshot of chess.com and fed it that and it couldn’t even get that.navarreg
Great App but one disappointment that should be solved
Everything about it is perfect except one problem...
On to the good things:
-Not only is the latest version of Stockfish (right now SF 11) included, but it is on CLOUD which means it will be stronger than analysis ran on your phone! This is a dream come true
-Live stream function allows you to browse games of current tournaments which is another dream come true for a serious chess player.
-Database is great to have on an app in a first place and I'm pretty sure it is regularly updated! This is also great
-Can save PGNs and store a sort of database
-A lot of people like the fact that you can take a picture of a 2D chess board and run it there, which is really nice to have, although it serves no purpose for me psrsonally. I would imagine it is very useful if you have a hard example from a book you want to take a picture of. For most exercises though I just solve in my head, and for running through full on games the picture taking doesnt help that in any way, so I don't really know how to make use of the camera function. But again, a lot of people seem to like it
Maybe there are some other features I am missing, but the fact that it has a cloud stored chess engine is more than I could ask for. This and the livestream function are the best features in my personal opinion!
Now on to the disappointment:
-Cannot write comments on moves. Why? This app is so good otherwise but you cannot write comments on any of your moves!? The point of analyzing games is to write notes to yourself! This is an essential element and I think the app developer should make it possible. In an app called "Analyze This" (which is also pretty nice) you can write comments as well as symbols with sidelines/variations and save it all. I wish this app could do that.
I strongly recommend this app to anybody, the live stream function is just so great. It is really good to watch ongoing high level games and this app seems to monitor pretty much all the ones that exist to the public.Show lesssandglider238
