Updated review - issues fixed!
This is an update of my previous negative review, as the app now works with my iPad and Chessnut air, and adds great new features not on the first version of the app, such as the option to play Maia. I still can’t make a copy of the FEN cut and paste properly into the chess.com analysis page, but hopefully that’ll be ironed out soon. Well done Chessnut, for continuing to improve the app!

Please make this app workable
Your physical product is great. Please hire a product manager and get this app in shape. It’s very difficult to even sign up and log in. Implement SSO like the old one. Get rid of capcha, it’s not needed and your current implementation is broken. You can resolve all of the main issues in 2 sprint cycles, please do it 🙏.

Good Progress
This is a good start. However all of the YouTubers are showing the android version and it has so much more capabilities. Starting with Chess Vision which opens the door to many more apps being compatible. Downloading engines is a great feature but we don’t have it. Creating your own engine is also not available in iOS. Let’s go chessnut. Let’s get some equality here. Update: they have now added downloading engines to the iOS version. Thank you! Still not sure about chess vision. Update: playing by tapping is cool but I can’t castle! Thanks
Update: The castling issue is fixed!

We will try to keep the functions consistent, but there are still some technical issues that have not been resolved. Due to platform limitations, it is difficult to customize the engine on IOS.

Good new feature!
I love the addition of extracting recorded games from the board directly. It makes analyzing the games played OTB so much easier. Good job! I wish the developer can do the same for games played against the bot. Currently, we can only see the moves played but can’t copy the PGN directly. I need to screenshot it, and then OCR the screenshot to get the PGN out. I hope it will be added in future updates.
Edit: I just found out that we can actually copy the PGNs from the bot matches. It’s just not clear in the first place. What a life saver!

A Good Start
Not bad for a new app. I love the Career Mode. It’s weird that the app can’t export the PGN from the games in the Career Mode. It will be so much better to be able to export PGNs. Also, I really hope that the app can access the recorded games in the board.
Good start but issues
Good start to the new app.
But I had the app crash twice on me during live games.
Also this app does NOT work when the iPhone screen is locked. The old app did this fine. Please fix this
