Reviews of ChessVisionDrills

  • Neat Idea, Inconsistent Win Criteria

    The instructions are either in correct or the developer hasnt vetted the exercises. The game is great concept which increases familiarity with the symmetry of the positions e.g. “I can attack from above *and* below” but the full extent of the attacks are not realized.
  • Developer restored this game

    I wrote a salty review last time because it was not compatible with new devices and the timer was unrealistic. Now this game is one of my favorites to pass the time. Thank you to the Devs! Highly recommend

    Developer Response

    I have fixed the app in the newest version.
  • Unique game, great idea, poorly programmed

    This app has a great idea and it was a good start towards what I was looking for. Having a way to practice “board vision” exercises is not found in other apps even though it’s a critical skill for developing your chess game.

    This app misses out in several areas. First, there are more types of drills that should be included. Board coordinate drills and other pattern recognition drills. In addition, it has a short timer making it nearly impossible for beginners. It should be adjustable. It also shouldn’t be built with only three strikes. The point is to drill. It would be nicer if it was timed but not as a timeout but like other chess drills, in that you get more points if you do it faster. The whole idea is to not make someone win or lose, but constantly improve.

    The app does not rotate to horizontal on the iPad. For those of us that prefer the horizontal orientation (keyboard users), this is a big inconvenience. Further, the app does not let you disable sounds, set timers, or setup anything.

    This app works, so I gave it a couple stars. But to PAY for an app that lacks so many features ... well ... it’s just not a good value at any price. I love paying for apps to help developers. But I want to get features for premium apps. This should be an ad supported app since it is such a feature-free program.

    One star for being a unique and valuable training idea. One star because it works and doesn’t crash. If this is version 1.0, then perhaps by version 5.0 this app will have the refinements making it a worthy chess training tool.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback. I have implemented a setting so you can adjust the timing. I've also added a setting to make the sounds optional.
