I want to like this app, butโ€ฆ

So, I bought the $30 yearly subscription and have been playing it for a couple of months.
The problem with this app is that the puzzles are curated by the users and A LOT of the puzzles are bogus.
Itโ€™s terribly frustrating to stare at a puzzle that seemingly has no logical solution only to find out AFTER failing it, that lots of other people have already found out that itโ€™s a bogus puzzle.
Iโ€™ll play it til my subscription runs out, but Iโ€™m not renewing.

Having a great time!

I play all my free time, super!!

Good but serious eye strain

The font on iPad is so small itโ€™s difficult to play more than a few tactics. Would be 5 stars if developer would fix this headache inducing element

CANT DELTE ACCOUNT

There is no way to manually delete your account apart from emailing them, but then they never reply.

Not worth the time

I got the app thinking it would be a good app to improve my tactics. I wasnโ€™t going to get the paid version until I experienced the app a bit. Initially, some of the tactics were good, but as I began to surpass their various tactical strategies I began to encounter impossible moves such as a pawn moving diagonally when their was no piece to capture - just an empty space. One time, it was forgivable, but twice within a couple of tactics and immediately I determined the app was a complete waste of time. Useless, if you truly want to improve.

Not worth of this much price.

There are better app than this for this price. Most topics are repeated less content. Still I was managing then I found this.

Go to Basics - Lesson - Fried Liver Practice.

White Queen is in E1.

I am not at all happy.

Has potential, but hard to navigate

I love the depth of lessons from beginner to advanced. However the lessons arenโ€™t always written well and the app is not too easy to navigate. Improve the UIUX of this app and I might consider download again.

Good, but you need to remove something

The app is good, it sees if you know things in chess, and teaches you things, but one thing. REMOVE THE RATING SYSTEM! ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL STUPID IF I GET ONE WRONG?!

Forgotten password

I am running is app from more then 10 years and when I change my device and download this app โ€ฆ. I realized that I forgotten the password

When I totally fail to remember my passwordโ€ฆ. I did mail to my problem to them but the sad part is that they did not reply any of my mail.

May be so many people are facing these type of problem

Please help me in regard and help me to generat my forgotten passwordโ€ฆโ€ฆ
Thank you

Enjoyable

Some puzzles should be removed... But most are well done! The App has some glitches.... Over all it is a good way to improve your Chess skills.

Lame

Very limited makes you have to buy pro to really learn much or play very long.

Needs to be free with ads.

Would have rated higher if free with ads at bottom.

Great, butโ€ฆ

I like this app very much. I play it every day. My one complaint is there is a display bug of some sort. Donโ€™t know if itโ€™s the app or my phone.

Most tactics start with your opponentโ€™s move, the piece moving from the starting square highlighted in white with the animated piece sliding to the ending square. Very nice! But not every tactic does that. It is extremely frustrating when it doesnโ€™t and the first move of the solution is to take a pawn I didnโ€™t realize had just moved en passant. Thereโ€™s zero chance Iโ€™d miss it over the board, but Iโ€™ve lost a lot of points because of this. (To be fair, Iโ€™ve lost more points from playing too fast - but still.)

If not for that, Iโ€™d give it all the stars.

Too mant queen sac

Enough free content to get started

Nicely laid out. Would like some kind of trial or lifetime license though.

Used to be good....

Lately it can serve you tactics that are either far below or far above your rating. This takes away from it's usefulness and teachability to be honest. Pity.

Great for all chess lovers

This is a must have for every chess lover/player, only 2 comments:
- no android version !
