Simply brilliant!
Outstanding app for database management, training, analysis, building a repertoire or just having a quick game with Stockfish. Not a big learning curve, and if you’re familiar with chess database programs this should all be pretty easy to get around.
Links directly to PGN Mentor & The Week In Chess for access to literally millions of games to build a database with, and you can import your own. Easy navigation of bases (player, year, event, ECO or combinations of those & other parameters) & a boat-load of various analysis & search functions including endgame tablebases. Also ability to create custom opening books for stockfish to use from databases is a big plus!
If you’re serious about chess, or want an easy to use, stable program for OTB prep, this is probably all you’ll ever need. Highly recommended.

So much here
While this may not be the most attractive app (full disclosure, I’m an artist/designer and would love to redesign the icon and splash screen) what’s offered here in this app is incredible. I can load databases of my repertoire, plus add databases of my chess books to make study so much easier when traveling. This app is in so many ways what ChessBase should have offered but failed in the mobile space. It’s great that I don’t have to lug my laptop with me on vacation, I have so much of what I need for constructive study right here. At home, if I want to relax on the sofa and study, this does the job. The app has made my chess books so much more useful. Congratulations to the developer: great job. Oh, and reach out if you’d like to upgrade your visuals. ;—) Thanks!

Hi Yoda, please, contact me at chess.studio.app@gmail.com. I could be interested in your proposal. Thanks and regards, Giordano
Great features but buggy
Exactly what I’m looking for in a chess database. If only it didn’t crash when adding annotations (it’s possible to annotate, but if you forget to hit “edit mode” first it crashes and you lose unsaved changes) it would be perfect. Also it would be nice if the databases were directly accessible in iCloud without having to export first.

masterpiece of coding!
I absolutely love Chess Studio! It has so many wonderful features and support is fast and phenomenal! Give it a thousand stars!!!
Too Cheap!
What a wonderful and useful Chess app. One of the Best IOS Chess apps on the Apple Store. If you want to learn, have fun and play chess this is the app to get. Did I say it is Cheap? Too Cheap IMO, should cost much more. Also this is NOT an forgotten app left to rot as it is constantly updated and improved.

Astonishing Chess Application Built With LOVE FOR CHESS!
Giordano Vicoli love for chess is so Bright and Clear! His constant improvements can overwhelm those new to the program as its features are vast and deep. I am not a “Spring Chicken” (kinda old) and have known as friends two Grandmasters who loved the beauty of chess, a magnificent test for two minds, Giodano matches their dedication to the game!
Thank you, Giordano! You have provided the ultimate bargain for us chess players!

Incredibly useful tool
This is an amazing tool. Keep up the good work. software. A great resource for people who are only on the Apple platform. It is a great place to store and analyse all your games. Great, comprehensive openings database.
Excellent App
For serious players this is a great app, very powerful and a great way of storing your games. I use Chessbase and tbh this does everything you need! Now that I’ve used it, I would have been happy at four times the current price. Well impressed, thank you to the developer - you’re on to a winner
