Exciting and thoughtful chess tactical training
I tried the free trial for a few days, but after an hour or two, I realised that I really did want to subscribe. Very reasonably priced, but what got me was the very thoughtful design in the training. I started doing the tactical training, and there is a fantastic feature which explains the basis of each of the tactics in detail. Understanding the basis behind each of the tactics has resulted in a rapid improvement in my ability to spot the ideas and implement them. Because of this, I feel like I am developing a purposeful and authentic insight into tactics. I still use a lot of other apps for training, but this app is rapidly becoming my favourite. I can see how the designers have really thought about the best way to learn tactics, and they are right. Chess Tempo is a pure pleasure to use and you wonโt be disappointed if you subscribe. Highly recommended!

$20 bucks a month??
I was a huge chess tempo website fan for years. Loved that the tactics had tags on which tactics were involved and discussion. Loved even that horribly slow endgame practice. It was such a Web 1.0 aesthetic hiding a pearl of a site. But it wasnโt mobile friendly (again Web 1.0) so I moved away from it over the years. I just heard that they had an app and was so excitedโฆ until I get through the opening questions and tells me it is a 5 day trial and then $20 bucks a month. Actually a bit more because itโs $5 per week and there are 13 periods of 4 weeks each year. No way to skip that and get a limited option free play or anything. What a shame bait and switch. Also Apple should note that these numbers do not match the disclosed in app purchases in the app description.

Response from developer
You are getting confused between us another app. We've never had a free trial for a paid membership (only a completely free level for non-paying users), and never had a weekly membership, our most expensive membership is diamond, which is $9 USD/month in the app.
Great for training!
Premium is worthwhile for making personalised training sets. Great all and service.

Was working great until this week. Now I always get connection issues when opening the app.
