A bug
When you surpass 200 moves for both colours and you delete moves so you don’t have 200 moves it still thinks you do so it doesn’t allow you to add more moves to your repertoire.Helcnwoxbneqpxneoxb
Best Openings App
If you want to really learn your openings and be able to retain what you learn. This is the best resource I have come across. Chessable is what I used previously but this is so much easier to modify and update as you progress and it’s linked to chess.com and lichess so you can test yourself on whether your moves match your repertoire. Highly recommend.Show lesssmfly
Amazing

The best opening app for me
I’m a retired adult who is a chess improver (i.e. lots of room to improve after more than 2 years)
I’m rated 1450-1500 on lichess and 1050-1100 on chess.com rapid.
This program is exactly what you need to fill in the gaps left by Chessable. You can tailor your rep to your level, leave out lines that you don’t care about, and add moves that you didn't think you cared about, but you have confronted them and now you care.
It will help you construct your own rep of opening moves, using whatever source you like, and it will tell you what masters play (for the first handful of moves until my opponent or I play something no master would). It also tells you what your level of chess opponents play according to lichess.
AND after you begin to construct your openings, it automatically reviews your games on lichess and chess.com if you give it permission. That is huge! As opposed to reviewing your game to see where you went off track by going through whatever PGN file you have that you have made for your opening.
If you are an amateur chess player and use your rep for your own training as opposed to tournament prep against a specific opponent, then you should give this a try. It’s free to enter and use 400 moves, then above that you can pay $5 a month or about $50 a year.
There is also a web based site Chessbook.com that is synched with your login, so all the same features are there, as far as I can tell.
If you have played chess long enough to know what an opening is, you will love this program.Show less007 2013
Subscribed to premium but app not working at all
App completely stopped working after a few days of subscribing to premium for around £50/year and is still crashed.
Cannot contact developers because when you click on the link to contact the developers it tries to open the app which doesn’t want to open.Asaadx2

My chess book is not opening even after I redownloaded it what to do?Coppedge damion
Love this app
Used the website before and then saw there’s an app so couldn’t wait to download. I practise almost every day and it’s really improved my chess!Will Lamerton
This is great but has a few quirks
I really love this app and the web version even more. It speeds up learning openings a lot and parses it down to your opening lines your most likely to see. So I’m giving it a 5 as it’s a great first run. That said, there are a few issues, my games haven’t downloaded from lichess or chess.com after 5 days. Also, I’ve reached out to the developer for tech support and some questions and haven’t heard back, something I wouldn’t expect when I’ve subscribed to the paid version. But like it for learning openings more than Chessable or Chessbase!Show lessNobaday
Really useful
Overall, I love it, but I think it would be nice if there was an option to get notification reminders when it's time to practiceagentcoolguy41
Game changer
I’m about 1200 lichess, and ’ve been trying to learn the Sicilian; this app is exactly what I needed. I’m sick of the huge sidelines that books feature which I never see in my games, so this is a game-changer. Great app!samar.time
