### 4/5 — Неплохо, но просто

*2026-01-05*

Приложение хорошее, но задачи весьма простые на всех уровнях (если вы НЕ новичок).
Добавьте, пожалуйста, сложности.

### 5/5 — とてもいいです！

*2025-11-22*

無料でこれだけ解けるのは素晴らしいです♪

### 4/5 — Хороший тренажер

*2025-11-20*

Отличный тренажер, очень рекомендую, прекрасные головоломки. Но есть одно но: анализ работает очень странно и нашел задачу на сложной сложности у которой нет решения: компьютер ходит не так, как должен был бы с точки зрения анализа. Скриншоты сделал, могу прислать, если интересно.

### 4/5 — Супер! Инструкции не правильные

*2025-11-14*

Отличные интересные задачки, НО! Инструкции работают неправильно. Часто не соответствуют количеству ходов, получается подсказка может сбить с правильного ответа неопытного игрока.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect!

*2025-11-08, version 2.07*

I like the simplicity of this app, and that each day offers new puzzles. It’s nice to be able to play puzzles without worrying about your rating. Only thing that I would change, is the sound of the pieces moving. Could be more natural, less harsh sounding.

### 5/5 — Приложение очень хорошее

*2025-10-25*

### 5/5 — 難局集がある

### 5/5 — Very well done!

*2025-08-23, version 2.07*

What’s wrong with this app? Nothing! You get a huge variety of chess puzzles, and at a difficulty you chose.

You need a hint? It’s there!

And then there are the daily puzzles. Easy, Medium, and Hard. These puzzles are now part of my morning routine. That, and coffee.

Buy all the extra puzzles. I did. It’s well worth the money.

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2025-08-21, version 2.07*

Great way to get a little chess thinking in during periods of time when you have to wait. Car repair, doctors office, etc.

### 5/5 — Genial

### 1/5 — NSFW

*2026-03-06, version 2.07*

Don’t download if you have kids. This chess puzzle app showed me four pornographic images/links when I opened the daily easy puzzles.

### 1/5 — При решении задачи снизу вылезает реклама, самый сок для концентрации, просто удалил приложение

*2025-05-31*

Выше

### 1/5 — Bad puzzles

*2023-05-19, version 2.04*

The first puzzle wanted check in 2 but check in 1 was possible.

### 1/5 — No all access

*2023-02-15, version 2.03*

I like the app enough to order an all access pass but never got access. Not sure what happened to my order but Apple Pay got funds from my account no problem  My communication with support has gone unanswered so screw the all access

### 1/5 — VERY POOR RESPONSE TO MY EMAILS‼️‼️

*2022-06-22, version 2.03*

WHY DO YOU HAVE A LINK FOR EMAIL WHEN YOU DON’T ANSWER ANY OF MY INQUIRIES⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️🤬😡🤬😡🤬

### 1/5 — Fraudulent solution. Not solved puzzles

*2021-11-11, version 2.03*

Fraudulent solution. Not solved puzzles 
Wasted time and money

### 1/5 — I hate ads

*2020-12-29, version 2.03*

Yet another app that bombards you with ads. Immediately deleted.

### 1/5 — Annoying reminders to rate app

*2020-09-24*

So I did!

### 1/5 — Puzzle selection fail

*2018-06-06, version 1.19*

In the paid app, no matter what you select you get random mates, usually 6 and 7 moves which messes up my ELO.  Fix this then 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Poorly conceived

*2017-08-29, version 1.14*

Many of the puzzles are flawed and involve optional moves (from the computer) which no real chess player would make. 

Many of the solutions also do not actually resolve the puzzle. 

There is also NO stated objective for any of the puzzles.

The result of all this is a series of guesses from the part of the playing until the puzzle decides you have made the correct series of (often) random and unpredictable moves.

Don't bother with this app. There are FAR better ones out there!

### 5/5 — Chess

*2026-02-05*

Very Beautiful Chess Puzzles. Love Them Too Much.

### 5/5 — Flawless

*2026-01-11*

I write software, and I cannot think of *anything* that would make this app better  We’re using it to train 4-yr-olds.  We set the pieces up on a chessboard   (Holding the pieces accelerates learning)  The feature ‘Analyze’ is fantastic!  (It shows why material-gaining puzzles have been solved)  Oh!  One more thing!  They don’t know that they’re also learning how to create puzzles

### 5/5 — Stop asking me to review it

*2025-11-25, version 2.07*

It's a great app. 

There.
