## What is Chess Prep Pro Openings?

- Blind Spot Finder: Stay ahead of your opponents with our blind spot finder feature that analyses your chess openings repertoire against billions of player games, identifying the most likely opponent moves that you did not prepare for.

### 5/5 — Отлично, просто огонь!😍

*2026-07-30, version 1.9.5*

Отличное приложение для заучивания репертуара. Самое приятное что по сути можно пользоваться бесплатно без проблем. Все очень удобно и красиво сделано 5/5

### 5/5 — Simple and great

*2026-07-18*

Bought premium as the app itself is perfect for prep of a repertoire. Hope it gets some useful additions in the future, but it runs stable.

It would be useful, to jump to analysis on lichess for example from the learning mode. Because sometimes I wonder just why that certain position is feasible.

### 5/5 — Great Tool For Mastering Opening Moves

*2026-06-04, version 1.9.3*

This app is really helpful for improving your opening theory memorization, because it lets you create your own responses to different variations that your opponents could play into. Furthermore, it lets you review every line by letting you play the moves yourself, which strengthens your opening consistency.
Great app, 5 stars

### 4/5 — Very powerful app for chess drills

*2026-05-22, version 1.9.1*

This is a very complete app to practise chess drills over and over until perfection. That makes it great. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s not very intuitive at first, especially for chess beginners, and so many elements on screen sometimes get in the way of a good user experience (UX). Working on this would definitely make this a killer app!

### 5/5 — Super application

*2026-05-12, version 1.9.1*

Très pratique pour gérer ces répertoires... Demande de l organisation mais ensuite c'est top..... Bravo et merci

### 3/5 — Was great but more issues

*2026-05-05*

I paid for the lifetime premium account, but for some reason after I tried moving it to my new device it won’t unlock on my new device, though it says it was transferred. It also won’t unlock on my old device. Nor will it allow me to purchase a premium account again

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear that. Please contact support at ChessPrepProHelp@gmail.com and we will sort it for you.

### 5/5 — Muy bueno

*2026-05-04, version 1.9.1*

Justo lo que buscaba

### 5/5 — Très bonne application

*2026-05-03, version 1.9.1*

Très bonne application pour travailler ses ouvertures ! J’ai pris l’option Premium pour pouvoir synchroniser mes répertoires entre iPad et iPhone. L’application est traduite en français, ce qui la rend encore plus agréable à utiliser.

### 4/5 — Repertuvar eksikliği

*2026-04-24, version 1.9.1*

Oyun gayet güzel ancak daha fazla repertuvar ve açılış eklenmeli onun dışında açılış çalışmak için bana göre en iyi uygulama

### 5/5 — Gute Free App für Eröffnungsspiele üben

*2026-03-10*

Die Anzahl der Features ist zwar nicht die höchste, aber die Features sind super.
Anders als andere Apps sind hier keine Limitierungen vorhanden, was schon sehr selten ist. Alles in allem also super.
