Best chess game

Great way to get better but stop asking for reviews

Resets progress and wont stop asking for rating

Will not stop asking me to rate the app even after rating it multiple times

A little buggy but I love it

I can't find an app that does this. Nothing but puzzles and different elo's. It's a little buggy though. Sometimes it freezes if I set the elo range at specific numbers. But it is a great practice tool to focus on puzzles and scenarios.

Almost perfect app

Has all the chess puzzles and tactics i could ask for. my only reason for 4 star is that there is no way to turn off audio in the app. so anytime i play while listening to music on headphones i get the audio from solving puzzles

Best puzzle app I found.

Just download it!

Eh

Every puzzle takes a long time to load

Exceptional

Super good app, seriously

Ads free

It’s an amazing app. It’s free. No built-in purchase simple easy. The only thing that I wish was a better interface and cable, but that’s just preference but besides that I love it thank you so much.

Good but some options needed

Would be great to have the option to mute sounds so I can play puzzles while listening to music. Also, the current failure sound is super annoying!

Good app

Good

Very buggy

It’s very buggy - sometimes the undo button just goes away, tapping to select a piece stops working so you have to hold and drag, analysis breaks, viewing history doesn’t work, etc etc.

That said. If anything completely breaks the app, closing it and restarting fixes the problem.

Most importantly, you get puzzles. And lots of them. All different kinds. Opening, mid game, and endgame. Mate puzzles. Mate evading puzzles. Trapping pieces. Winning material. Sacrifices. The list goes on.

EDIT: Officially broken.

First it reset my ELO to 0, but it’s not a public or meaningful ELO anyway so no big deal, time to just do a few puzzles and the app will learn where I’m at again.

But then it just totally crashed. ELO back to 0. Doesn’t show me puzzles anymore. Closing and reopening does nothing.

Exactly Right!

The developer of this software got everything exactly right. This is the best piece of chess software I have found to date. I wanted a chess app that gave me an endless number of chess puzzles that were essentially tied to my level of play. I didn’t want bells and whistles and confetti and music every time I solved a puzzle. I just want well constructed puzzles, with no silly pictures or elaborate backgrounds, free of bugs and that is what this app delivers. Bravo to the developer. Most excellent.

Great app, looks to work offline

Any plan to allow loading custom puzzle sets?

Too Buggy

This app could be really good, but it’s too buggy (on iOS). The View History tab page never loads; just spins forever. So there is no way to navigate back to previous puzzles. Even though I log in the app sometimes just forgets and starts you over from ELO = 0. And twice the Analysis button messed up and forced you to just move to the next puzzle. I’m reluctantly de-installing.

Good but can’t log in

I’d been using the app for several weeks and it was updating my ELO score. Then I noticed that it reverted to ELO of zero and was giving me very low level (easy) puzzles. I tried to log out and back in again but the app just hangs after pressing “log in”. Maybe a server somewhere that is not responding?

How many?

How many puzzles are there in this app?

Excellent app!

Perfect chess puzzle app, it’s 100% free, no ads, no in-app purchases, p2p, p2w etc. There are so far no repeats of puzzles, so got to be a few thousand in there at least, you can select what area(s) you want to train in easily, it’s a simple interface and if you sign in it’ll keep track of your progress and rating and increase the difficulty to keep giving you a challenge. No privacy concerns as the app doesn’t collect any info. Superb app for improvement and training, highly recommend!
