Not worth it
Was okay though buggy and laggy before but now you can’t even use the scanner without making an account which is the entire point of the app. There is no reason you actually should need an account to use the app except for them wanting to collect your data
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.

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.
Response from developer
Hello! We’re very sorry about the issues you’ve experienced. Please make sure you’ve updated the app to the latest available version, as it already has several important fixes, including reading the photos and not the files. The latest update unified it with the Chessify website, which required major changes throughout the app. Unfortunately, some issues appeared during this transition. We’re actively working through all reported problems and releasing fixes as quickly as possible to bring the app back to the stable experience you expect. We hope for your understanding.
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!
