I’ve been tryin to get help for over a month and not even a response. The boards don’t keep their games when another game is upload to a different board. I still have yet to get a response from anyone from customer support. ### 2/5 — Horrible customer service *2026-02-26* The customer service is horrible I’ve been tryin to get help for over a week and not even a response. The boards don’t keep their games when another game is upload to a different board. I still have yet to get a response from anyone from customer support. ### 4/5 — Disappointed *2025-12-21, version 3.2.9* Can’t see how to import pun ### 1/5 — Только подписка *2025-11-29* Обычные доски не определяет. Цена подписки завышенная. Нет одноразовой покупки. ### 3/5 — Different boards don't work *2025-11-15, version 3.2.9* The different boards don't work. When I switch them, they just replace with whichever one I update last. Another bug is when I drag pieces on the board they duplicate out of place where you can drag them from and then some become not selectable anymore. Otherwise it works fairly well. ### 4/5 — Präzise *2025-11-05* Dieses Enginen ist unfassbar exakt, schnell und leicht zu bedienen. Benutzeroberfläche zu Beginn etwas eigen, aber trotzdem sehr einfach zu bedienen. Wer sich neue Blickwinkel öffnen will sollte diese App definitiv testen ### 1/5 — Unethical charging after free trial cancellation *2025-11-04, version 3.2.9* Cancelled my free trial within 1 hour and was charged for an annual plan immediately upon cancellation. I should get charged if I do NOT cancel! How bogus! ### 1/5 — говно *2025-10-29, version 3.2.9* говно ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-10-21, version 3.2.9* Seems to work well with next move recommendations, but I can’t keep separate games going for analysis despite there being 5 boards available?? Makes no sense. ### 2/5 — Best move for what?! *2025-10-06* The app might show you the best move- but you cannot setup whether its black or white to move. So 50% of the time it’s pretty much useless ### 3/5 — Different Boards *2025-09-20* I think it‘s really annoying, that you cannot analyze different positions on boards ### 1/5 — Avoid *2025-09-18, version 3.2.9* Multiple board feature doesn’t work and zero response when queried with developer. Refunded subscription. ### 1/5 — No customer service! *2025-09-05, version 3.2.9* I paid and now it does not work and the only way to contact the dude is instagram and he does not respond!!! Don’t buy the pro!!! ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-08-05* Pas plus de fonction que les outils gratuits, des bugs et comme il faut payer pour voir … Limite de l’arnaque … ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Zu teuer *2026-08-17* Leider ist die app für diese Engine zu Teuer. ### 1/5 — GET OFF MY SCREEN *2026-06-13, version 3.2.9* As soon as I open the app I get 1000 ads on my screen and it trys to force you to pay for an ai that’s not even worth it ### 1/5 — Horrible customer service *2026-05-31* The customer service is horrible I’ve been tryin to get help for over a month and not even a response. The boards don’t keep their games when another game is upload to a different board. I still have yet to get a response from anyone from customer support. ### 1/5 — Subscribed and still valid *2026-05-12, version 3.2.9* Asking for a renewal while I am still subscribe for another year, crazy fixed this..!! ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-02-20, version 3.2.9* I bought it and I only used it for one day then deleted it and cancelled the subscription then 3 days later it says that £39.99 has been taken out of card.This is a scam. ### 1/5 — Clunky *2026-02-02, version 3.2.9* Cannot move between different boards. ### 1/5 — Ugly board *2026-01-08, version 3.2.9* No one wants pink,gold,red etc. squares ### 1/5 — Stopped working altogether on iOS 26.2 *2025-12-22, version 3.2.9* Update: 12/2025 paid for pro version and now the app opens to a white background and nothing else. I have deleted it and reinstalled, but it stopped working as of December '25 The different boards don't work. When I switch them, they just replace with whichever one I update last. Another bug is when I drag pieces on the board they duplicate out of place where you can drag them from and then some become not selectable anymore. Otherwise it works fairly well. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-12-20, version 3.2.9* Don’t waste your time, it’s very useless. ### 1/5 — This app is broken *2025-12-08, version 3.2.9* It wouldn’t calculate and had major difficulty in just taking the picture ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — National Master *2026-07-05, version 3.2.9* Great app with a plethora of options and functionality. ### 5/5 — Bravo merci *2026-05-06* Incroyable app !
