### 1/5 — Nur Lockangenot

*2026-05-31, version 1.1*

Nur der aller erste Anfang ist kostenlos. Sobald es anfängt Spaß zu machen oder etwas wirklich zu lernen, muss man bezahlen. Das finde ich abzocke! Übrigens es gab auch grammatikalische Fehler auf Deutsch. Außerdem ist es für kleinere Kinder anstrengend alles lesen zu müssen. Ich würde die App nicht empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Nicht nur für Kinder

*2025-12-16, version 1.1*

Auch für Erwachsene Schachneue

### 1/5 — Problem

*2024-02-20, version 1.1*

My daughter said “I can’t figure out how to do this”but never shows or told me what she can’t figure out.

### 5/5 — Macht Spaß

*2023-02-25, version 1.1*

Gefällt meinem 5-jährigem Sohn gut.

### 2/5 — Chess game

*2022-11-26, version 1.1*

Nice learning game; navigation is annoying, kids lose focus and interest while going from page to page.
Would be better if there was a way to select a learning topic from a menu.

### 5/5 — Chess

*2022-11-20, version 1.1*

Good app

### 4/5 — Sehr gut

*2022-10-03, version 1.1*

Ich finde die App sehr gut weil es kinder leichte Aufgaben gibt es gibt auch keine Werbung und alles ist sehr gut erklärt mit dieser App kann man sehr leicht Schachspielen lehren und man kommt auch mit schnellen Fortschritten voran

### 5/5 — Super für Kinder

*2022-01-14, version 1.1*

Für ein Anfänger als Kind, das kein Vorwissen besitzen, ist die App hilfreich.

### 2/5 — No sound

*2021-12-05, version 1.1*

Opened the app, turned volume up on audio section and flipped through pages only to find no audio.  Would not recommend this unless you plan on doing all the reading, teaching, and instructing.

### 1/5 — Unverständlich

*2021-10-06, version 1.1*

Wir können nicht nachvollziehen, warum wir eine Schach App kaufen müssen, mit der man gar nicht Schach spielen kann.
