El tablero a veces se oculta parcialmente. Consecuencia: las respuestas resultan erróneas. ### 4/5 — imparare a giocare *2023-10-15, version 1.2* sconoscevo il gioco e sto imparando. ### 3/5 — Chess for beginners *2021-10-11, version 1.2* I know absolutely nothing about chess and hoped this app would teach me something. I have to agree that I did learn more than I knew but the feedback is not on the screen long enough to read and I would like comments on the mistakes I make. ### 3/5 — Nice but some significant flaws *2020-12-31, version 1.2* I have a rudimentary grasp of chess and have been having fun learning with this app. The main complaint I have is that in the lessons, it’s not always apparent why a “correct” move is correct, at least for a beginner. It would be really helpful if there were notes in the tests explaining why a move is good vs. bad, etc. For instance, in one situation you are trying to mate in one move, and the “correct” move does not seem to be mate at all because the king could capture the attacking piece without remaining in or putting itself in check. An explanation would really help in this and many other cases. The app works well, and the “Theory” section is comprehensive and detailed. I’d recommend starting there if you’re new to the game. There’s not much direction as to what to do when you first open the app. It would be much improved if the clunky Home Screen were more directive. But other than that, it’s a good app for learning/improving your game. ### 5/5 — Great way to self tutor as a beginner *2020-11-30, version 1.2* This app allows my to practice whenever I have a little time. I can work on areas that mind is not skilled for a real chess match- one day. I’m not ready yet, but one day! ### 3/5 — Critica *2020-11-19, version 1.2* Non sono sempre comprensibili le domande ### 5/5 — Super игра *2020-10-11* Отличная школа Благодарность разработчикам ### 5/5 — Annette *2020-05-31, version 1.2* Simply awesome 😎 ### 5/5 — Like this very much for teaching the game *2019-04-14, version 1.2* Has lots of digestible learning info! ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2017-08-08* sehr gut und verständlich erklärt, viele Übngen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Diese App bekommt von mir ein mangelhaft. *2025-02-12* Erklärungen in zwei verschiedenen Sprachen was soll das? Das ist nicht akzeptabel. ### 1/5 — Übel *2023-10-22* Auch wenn die Sprache auf Deutsch gestellt wurde, sind viele Fragen und Aufgaben in Englisch! ### 1/5 — Mi fa un po’ schifo… (sono sincera) *2022-10-13, version 1.2* Mio papa mi ha obbligato a scaricare io visto STUPIDO GIOCO DI SCACCHI QUANDO LO FACCIO A SCUOLA!😡🤬👿 Ps: Non mi piace il boato gioco Carola ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-09-19, version 1.2* This is worst trainer it should not throw stupid solutions that when viewed make no sense at the end of the sequence. ### 1/5 — Sub *2021-04-25* Pay ### 1/5 — Mal *2021-02-13, version 1.2* No entiendo indicaciones ni traducciones al español, nunca sé quién juega Qué significa apenas juega? Juega o no, no entiendo ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-02-04, version 1.2* No way to cancel subscription! BEWARE ### 1/5 — Più che un corso sembra un quiz *2020-11-08, version 1.2* Non ne capisco il senso. App basata su domande a risposta multipla. ### 2/5 — Non l’ho capita *2021-11-23, version 1.2* Forse sbaglio io ma non c’è niente di didattico, solo dei test che puoi risolvere soltanto se già conosci il gioco. Per imparare da zero non va bene. Peccato ### 3/5 — Sprache ? *2026-01-18* Trotz Systemeinstellung der Sprache auf Deutsch sind die Fragen am Anfang der App auf englisch, ist ein bisschen unglücklich. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2023-11-11, version 1.2* Enseña desde cero, para mi ideal por que no sabia absolutamente nada y esta app me ha ayudado muchísimo.

De momento es fabulosa. ### 5/5 — Sí *2021-07-12, version 1.2* Me ayuda y aprendo ### 5/5 — VERAMENTE OTTIMO PER LA DIDATTICA *2021-01-16, version 1.2* Per chi comincia non c’è di meglio. Si tratta comunque di un corso serio e completo ### 5/5 — Scuola di scacchi *2021-01-12, version 1.2* Per ora mi piace molto, è istruttiva con molte verifiche di apprendimento. Non vedo l’ora di fare la prima partita ### 5/5 — Cat *2021-01-08, version 1.2* This app, breaks the various parts of the game into fun challenging exercises that are easier to learn build on. ### 5/5 — Ottimo *2021-01-03, version 1.2* Complimenti a chi ha creato l’app, sono alle prime armi ed è davvero molto esplicativa in modo semplice e chiaro 👍🏽 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
