  • Best chess opening trainer for iPad

    Very happy with this training tool. Well worth the money for the pro version.

    Could use iCloud integration to keep the databases the same on all devices. Easy 5 stars even without this.
  • The best opening app period

    Love this thing. It’s soooo good. I’ve them all. This is it. THE OPENING APP.
  • Love it but need some support

    I love this app. I’ve tried a ton of these opening trainers but they either showed refuted openings as the best lines or had minimal databases and weak engines. My only issue with the app is that when I try to import chess.com games I get an “invalid PGN” error. I’ve even tried removing the event data and just having the moves and I still receive the same error.

    Edit: Thank you to the developers for responding. Removing the brackets has fixed my issue! Thanks a ton

    Thanks for the feedback! After reviewing chess.com games, they seem to use a non-standard format for the game results at the end of the PGN. As a workaround, try to change the last comment to the actual result, for example {1-0} -> 1-0. We will make it more robust in the next version. If you are still experiencing issues with the PGN import, feel free to e-mail examples of games to chessopenerapp@gmail.com

  • Almost perfect for training (iCloud sync will be even better!)

    If this had iCloud sync across my devices for my repertoire then it would have 7 stars for me but for now I can only give it 5 stars 😆😆😆 You can import PGN for now or make the moves to add a new opening for training
  • Amazing

    Truly great app. I have the pro version. I use it every day. One grumble, sometimes it repeats the same variation for no apparent reason.
  • Great tool for practicing openings and refining repertoires

    Ignore the 1-star ratings. I had given up on the iPad for opening training before I stumbled across this app. Excellent conception and implementation! Thank you!
  • Five Star chess app

    Thanks for the latest update.

    Thanks for the feedback! The split screen option is coming in the next version 1.15.0 very soon.
  • No support. No manual. Not intuitive to use.

    Just said it.
