Worst update ever. I delete this thing. You literally kill the app.

Hope nobody gives you money

Great app for chess

Recent update breaks analysis. Analysis path doesn’t move figures anymore and a slight accidental finger move throws figures off the board. App became useless. Time to move to another analyzer.

Previous review: A simple access to stockfish. Great analyser

Was good now terrible

This is such a poor update. The previous app was so easy to use. This is so confusing now. Just creating a board position is so difficult . I don’t know what they were thinking but it needs a full blown instruction manual to use it now

Awful update

Sad that you used AI to make your app pretty, but it’s completely useless now, used to be something so simple to use, now it doesn’t even work properly and takes ages to even do what’s it’s asked, way to go guys

How turn on engine on new app version?

????

modern culture ruined chessify

the new app update is broken. the engine doesn't work, neither do any of the databases. its practically unusable. by the way, it says "Sing In" instead of Sign in

Many issues

Since last upgrade not able to scan from iPhones. Also app crashes and suddenly quits. Used to be a great app but not anymore

New update

Loved this app before the most recent update. Now, nothing works—the image selector goes to files as opposed to camera roll meaning I can’t upload screenshots and other images to the engine, and the engine doesn’t even produce any results in this update, even if I set up the board manually. Really
upsetting.

You ruined it

This app used to be great for analysis of a game from a photo. Now it can’t find photos on my phone! Then I set a board up manually and the analysis button doesn’t work.
Revert back to the previous version. It’s broken

Devs need iPhones

Opening a photo from the iPhone has always been buggy and the newest update just shows “LOADING…” when it gets to the photo library. Seems like non of these devs have an iPhone or at least one with many photos to test against. Great app but needs better testing.

Malfunction

At this moment, the app is uncapable to scan a chess board

They destroyed it

After the last update they killed this app now it is useless. If they don’t fix it by next week, it is going to garbage. Apparently their moto If it ain’t broken break it

App is broken

Move analysis doesn’t even work anymore. Useless and clunky UI. Used to work fine but now it’s stuck on “Analysing”.

Great when it actually works

So buggy. Doesn’t even load most days.

Great app for chess

A simple access to stockfish. Great analyser

Brilliant

What a piece of kit to help and anylyze and develop your chess

Broken

It WAS a great app when it worked. Now I just get a message that says “something went wrong try again later”. It didn’t have any problem taking money from me for more time but still didn’t work. I’ve written twice to the developers without the courtesy of any reply.

Very nice

Keep getting an error message, that something went wrong, when I try to scan. Fix!!!!

The Scan function alone would make this app a must-have. The other features are more than icing. Thanks!

Broken

Doesn't work in iOS 18.

Time saver

I read a lot of chess books and spend too much time setting up all the positions they are going over. I got this app so I can take a picture of the board in the book, and play out the position easily without spending time on setup. This app is perfect for that and seems to do other stuff too .
