Çok memnun oldum. ### 5/5 — Sehr gute Aufgabensammlung *2016-10-27* Unterschiedlicher Schwierigkeitsgrad, nicht trivial. Macht viel Spaß. Optisch sehr ansprechend. Der Theorieteil ist auf englisch. Wer sich in Taktik verbessern will (oder muss?), sollte zugreifen. ### 5/5 — Glad to see Convekta on the App Store *2016-10-04* I owned the pocket PC version of this and am glad to see it now on IOS. Works great, would like to see syncing of ratings/results by user between iPad and iPhone for the same appleID. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2016-09-21* Very happy to see the CT-ART and other trainers ### 5/5 — Excellent pour faire du training *2016-08-01* J'utilise d'habitude cette application sur pc, mais sur iPad c'est vraiment très bien fait et très pratique. Les exercices sont intéressants et formateurs. À quand une version ou toute la partie théorique sera traduite en Français. Dans une future mise à jour ? ### 5/5 — This is the app 4 u! *2016-07-22* Great app. Improving with each use! ### 5/5 — Sehr empfehlenswert! *2016-06-19* Gute App, um nicht nur Taktik zu lernen, sondern auch Strategie. Bei einem Fehler bekommt man nicht gleich die Lösung angezeigt, sondern hat die Chance es nach einem Tipp nochmals zu versuchen. ### 5/5 — Absolute gold *2016-06-12* I just love this app. The tactic trainer alone is worth the price. Want to improve? Here you go ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Too bad *2016-12-27* I really wanted to like this app because it seems to have a lot of things built into it. Unfortunately, that's the problem. It's very sloppy to navigate. It's never quite clear where one should be clicking on things. ### 2/5 — The number of test puzzles are too little. *2016-10-02, version 0.9.5* There are not enough chess puzzles for the test section. At least it should be doubled. ### 3/5 — Board so small on iPhones in theory mode! *2024-07-22, version 1.2* This would be a brilliant application for mobiles if the board wasn’t so small! If they made the board bigger more like it is on ‘practice’ mode. Theres still plenty of room for the text underneath. The result is I struggle to engage with learning the theory 1st because it’s so tough to read the board in the theory examples it makes it unpleasant. ### 4/5 — Finaliser les exercices *2023-02-17* Bien souvent , lorsque l’exercice est résolu la partie en fait n est pas vraiment terminée il reste encore 2-3 coup pour être en échec et mat … donc si la partie pouvait aller jusqu au bout nous comprendrions encore un peu plus la technique … Merci ### 4/5 — Bonne appli *2017-09-30* Des exercices qui permettent de progresser. Petit défaut qui me freine pour acheter la version complète : manque de fluidité sur les animations. Appli parfois non instinctive. La navigation mériterait une mise à jour. Je la recommande cependant.. ### 4/5 — Finally a real tactics trainer *2016-07-27* For those of you familiar with the pc software CT-Art Tactics (made by another company called Convekta), finally a similar program has been adapted as an iPhone App. I have been waiting years for this as this tactics trainer is truly one of the best- if not the best! Have you the book Rapid Chess Improvement by Maza? These are the types of tactic training exercises he used to improve his Elo rating some 400 points in 400 days. With determination you should be able to memorize all 300+ exercises and solve them all in under 20 minutes. Thank you to the writers of this app for bringing the best tactical training available for the chess player who is ready to improves their tactical vision. I gave only 4 stars because I don't see an option to have the entire collection contained inside one single app. ### 5/5 — Great App for Chess Tactics *2026-07-20* Their puzzles seem like ones that would appear in real games. They also teach you to play like Tal: sacrifices here and there. ### 5/5 — Satranç aşkı *2025-04-19, version 1.2* Gerçekten verimli ve çok kapsamlı bir uygulama olmuş satranç adına motor kullanma seçeneği olması da ayrıca güzel herkese tavsiye ederim. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-06-23* Practicing tactics is a sure way to improve ### 5/5 — Herausfordernde Aufgaben mit echtem Lerneffekt *2022-12-24* Oft knifflige und dennoch lösbare vielseitige Aufgab Aufgaben aus echten Partien statt künstlicher Matts. Spaß, da man Fortschritte bewertet bekommt. Steigenden Punktzahl.en, mit Cleverness der Wiederholung, denn nur ähnliche Motive wirken. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Chess King *2019-05-14* I bought the original Chess King years ago as a 2000 rated player and it was magnificent. I plan to go through every available course they have in the App Store. If you’re serious about chess improvement, you should too. ### 5/5 — Khudozhnik *2018-07-19* What a brilliant app!! Highly instructive problems with incorrect or inferior move choices explained. Relatively painless and highly entertaining learning. ### 5/5 — Macht Spaß *2017-10-30* Ziemlich knifflig, sehr interessant. ### 5/5 — Super *2017-06-18* Des exercices par thèmes, variés, nombreux. Utilisation agréable. Juste un défaut : les réfutations proposées lorsqu'on joue un mauvais coup ne prennent pas en compte les meilleures suites, et ne sont pas très convaincantes. ### 5/5 — Super *2017-03-17* Sehr gut ### 5/5 — Excellent logiciel gratuit de combinaisons de mat *2017-02-18* Plusieurs thèmes de mat sont proposés. Le logiciel évalue votre score à partir de votre Élo de départ, en fonction de vos résultats aux exercices proposés. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
