  • Scan doesn’t work

    When I try to scan a position a all I get is a black box in the camera view. My camera works otherwise and I gave the app permission to use it, but it just doesn’t work
  • Room for improvement

    One of my biggest complaints with this app is how easily it just loses the position when your device goes on standby. I understand there’s a save feature, but most of the time we get sidetracked by something and don’t remember to save. Please implement an auto-save of some kind if app can’t stay running in a low-power state in the background.

    Also, iPad support should be a no brainer here. Are there plans for iPad support soon?

    Hi, thanks a lot for you feedback. We've already prolonged the preservation time of the analysis board, so please update the app. As to the iPad support, we're planning to work on it for our future updates.
  • Love it; can you allow to edit saved games?

    I love that I can save a game, but I’d love to add more moves to it after re-opening, save again for later without having to save to a *new* board. Or am I missing something??

    Developer Response

    Hi, thanks for your review. We'll certainly take this suggestion into consideration and will try to have it in the nearest updates.

  • Chessify

    Works really well and I learned a lot
  • Great app

    The app is great. But there’s one issue with the scan function. Sometimes it’s not accurate (pieces in the wrong squares, missing pieces, wrong colour). Love everything else. A suggestion though, maybe make it so that once you scan a position instead of having to click the engine button every time to see the best moves and continuation make it automatic. So say you scanned a position and wanted to see the engines line. You’d have to click the engine icon and wait for it to process and show the best moves, continuation and who’s winning. This can get quite tedious because if you play a different move than what the engine gave you’d have to repeat the process next time. So if you make some changes so that the moment you scan a position the app will automatically start to evaluate the position and give the best moves and continuation and will continue to do so even if you played a different move. That would be way better.

  • Couldn’t get it to work

    Like the concept but couldn’t get it to scan or set up from photo. Able to set up board but other apps already do that
  • not working for me

    iOS 10.3.3: latest update is broken, can no longer scan and play through positions. useless for me now.

    Developer Response

    Hi, we're very sorry to inform you that we no longer support the 10.3.3 version of iOS. If it's possible please update your iOS version to be able to use the app. Thank you.
  • Cannot scan the board where black is at top

    The rotation button in the scan UI doesn’t do anything.
    Everything else about this app is great.

    Developer Response

    Hi. Thanks for your review. The rotation button of the scanning window flips the orientation of the board (A1 square become H8). So if you're scanning a position from black's side, you should use this button to have a correct setup. Hope this helps.
