Useless

Useless app full of bugs always

Very Good Learning App for Chess

Works great on my iPad Air OS 18.1.1, able to bookmark memorable games, book purchases have been excellent.

Careful…You can’t witch between apple and iPad

You can’t switch between apple and iPad. I bought a book and found out that is isn’t possible two switch between the two. I wanted it on my phone also and it can’t be done. Horrible interface. You’re better off buying a book from forward chess.

Crash too often

This app crash too often. Only solution is to uninstall it ….

stopped working

I have an iPad with iOS 15.6 and the app stopped working with the new update... 🙁
