### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-03-18*

So many levelzzzzz.

### 5/5 — good app

*2025-03-28*

great app tbh

### 3/5 — Solid, but needs work

*2025-01-10*

The best thing about this is that it’s a stripped down, barebones series of puzzles organized by type that doesn’t harvest your data. It’s not perfect, but it’s good and well worth paying for. 

There are a couple of issues, however. One is that a lot of the puzzles are basically clones of other ones, with the odd extraneous piece thrown in. You’ll get into situations where you’re doing the same puzzle two or three times in a row. Another is that the screen format doesn’t take the notch into account. Fortunately, it’s cosmetic.

### 5/5 — Great APP!

*2024-12-22*

My 4yo son loves it! It’s challenging for beginners but fun.

### 4/5 — Ads ads ads

*2024-01-03*

Good selection of chess puzzles but too many ads - which isn’t a problem really because the app gives you the option to remove ads for £1.99 however the UI feels half baked and a bit clunky. For example - when completing a puzzle I can’t see some of the text at the top of screen on my iPhone 14 because it’s hidden behind the notch.

### 3/5 — Why

*2023-06-22*

Just why like on 6 bishop can take queen

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-04-04*

This is a really great way to improve in viewing mating patterns and it’s free to use aswell
