Amazing app
Wish I would have found this before spending hundreds of dollars on Chessable lifetime repertoire courses.
Being able to build openings based on your current skill level and the most common responses from your opponents at that level is so much more useful than memorizing lines that are probably extremely rare outside of high level gameplay.
Definitely recommend the premium version of this app if you enjoy studying openings.

The 100% Best Opening Trainer out.
This is the first time I’ve EVER wrote an App Store review for an app. I just got this app about 1 hour ago and already learned the basics to 3 of my favorite openings. I love the repetition building system. They have studies for you every time you want to learn more. This is the #1 app for any chess player who wants to sharpen their tools. Absolutely phenomenal work.

So far so good
I’m in love with the concept of this application. I wish there was a version where I could input positions that I have difficulty with to practice those with spaced repetition.
Perfect app for building a chess repertoire
I’ve really been enjoying this app. I’m around 1200 rapid and noticed I was making a lot of mistakes in the opening. It takes a little time in the app to build up the personalized repertoire you want, but once you do it’s great for learning fundamental openings and practicing lines. The app is well polished and very intuitive. I like the daily recommendations and reviewing the master games. Great for players who have passed the beginner stage and want to build into learning openings of their choice.

Great opening app.
This app is great for anyone imo. It lets you choose an opening you want to learn and then shows you different variations. It even has a built in StockFish engine to show you far into positions with the best moves so you can learn beyond the opening as well.
I’m sure this is improve your opening knowledge greatly just by doing it once a day.
5/5 would rate again

Love this app!
I’ve been playing for years and this app is the first really get what I need to learn openings! I’m always excited to explore new lines and push my chess opening knowledge with it! Cannot recommend highly enough!!!
Fantastic
Outstanding way to improve your chess openings.
Without it, I would probably still be practicing tactics and only slowly learn openings.

5-star sparring companion!
Chessbook is exactly what I had been looking for. It has allowed me to build a repertoire, both for White and for Black, and annotate moves as I go. It shows me exactly where the gaps in my repertoire are, and suggests moves along the way. Then it allows me to practise against any part of my chosen repertoire, varying the response very slightly each time I play, until it becomes second nature to me. It also encourages me to investigate how I would respond to novel gambit lines. This is a fantastic tool to have if you are serious about improving your opening preparedness, it is also great fun to use. And it enables a chess player to organise his openings in a way that very few competitors do - if any.
One slight criticism is that there does not seem to be a dedicated support line (although there is a way to provide feedback).
