### 3/5 — Will Not Upgrade

*2023-04-21*

This may be abandoned as I have seen a few reviews saying so. I decided to download it and did like it. But I cannot purchase the pro version. On my iPad and my iPhone choosing Go Pro crashes right to the Home Screen. As this is the way developers would get money I can but assume that if they won’t fix that bug then the app is truly abandoned.

### 2/5 — Used to be the best analysis option for iOS

*2023-01-14, version 3.4.3*

Abandoned app. Buy at your own risk.

### 3/5 — Please update

*2022-12-18, version 3.4.3*

I can’t purchase the pro version, due to it crashing

### 1/5 — Junk

*2022-11-19, version 3.4.3*

I am a titled chess player. This app should get flushed into a black hole it is:
1. Impossible to upgrade to the “Pro” version on iPadOS 16+. 
2. The supplied engine is Stockfish 11. Really? We’re already using Stockfish 15, this is incredibly bad for an app that wants money from you. 
3. It’s impossible to accomplish anything on the free version because ADS continually intrude. 

If it were possible to give negative stars, this app would get 5. 

Spare yourself the aggravation and forgo this junk.

### 5/5 — Update please

*2022-10-20, version 3.4.3*

Please update the app so that I can manage the engine.

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2022-06-30, version 3.4.3*

I love the way it is integrated with Follow Chess, but I have two issues:

1.  The variations that are given are often very short or abbreviated so much as to be useless for understanding how the given line will proceed.
2. The version of Stockfish that is used (11) is pretty old and much weaker than the most modern engines.

### 5/5 — Great App, but please update to latest Stockfish!

*2022-05-29, version 3.4.3*

I absolutely adore this app.. It separates itself from others in its unique ability to view up to TEN lines of the game. It would be the best if it was the latest version of stockfish and I’m begging the developers to make this happen. Make this app #1 as it deserves to be!!

### 4/5 — Good but could use improvement

*2022-03-16, version 3.4.3*

Very handy but can only do analysis for game positions, not arbitrary puzzles.

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2022-01-15, version 3.4.3*

Possible to add an option to put your saved games in different folders?

### 1/5 — Confusing and pro version does not work

*2022-01-03, version 3.4.3*

Difficult to use. Had to play around with all of the buttons and still couldn’t figure out how to analyze past 1 move. Bought the pro version and it would not work. Pretty sure it stole my money
