User reviews

App

I honestly just don’t see the point it does not explain variations only the right moves and the quizzes are meant for noobs learning openings who have a rating of 500 on chess.com

Some good features but lacking

The app is good in many ways, for example the quiz mode is great for teaching opening patterns, but it would be great to be able to adjust the speed of the animations and save a repertoire. The explorer mode has no instructions at all and I cannot work out how to use it. A potentially great app that needs attention.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your feedback! We will definitely take your comments into account in our future improvements.

Weak

There is no way you can delete a repertoire or replace it. The app is very basic and does not offer anything effective for building a repertoire or practicing an opening.

Response from developer

There's a way to remove repertoire: simply navigate to the move from which you want to remove, bring up the menu, press the 'Delete' button, and follow the instructions. If you want to train your chess openings through this application, you need to add them to the app first. Then, for training these openings, the app offers three possible modes. You can repeat each line from start to finish. There's also a condensed option where the move is repeated no more than once. And there's a shuffled mode where you must find the correct move in a random position from your opening.
