### 1/5 — Not worth the money.😡

*2026-08-18*

I was very curious about using this app and I thought it was pretty good. They had some good ideas behind it. The board drills the opening practice positional puzzles tactics puzzles as well as the positional analysis study was all great Ideas. But the app keeps freezing up I can’t even use it a waste of time learning and money. you should do better get this fixed lost customer garbage app.

### 3/5 — New force-pay

*2026-02-27*

I didn’t liked how you guys now made everything paywall and have to pay a subscription to play the opening and learn, I liked limited, but free.

### 3/5 — App freezes after a few seconds – unusable

*2026-01-20*

I was really interested in using this chess app, but unfortunately it becomes unusable very quickly. After a few seconds of opening the app, it freezes completely and nothing responds. The board stops working, buttons don’t react, and I have to force close the app. I tried restarting my device and reinstalling the app, but the problem persists. Until this issue is fixed, it’s impossible to enjoy or even properly test the app.

**Developer response:** Hi @Whitepaca. I'm sorry for the frustration! We had a very specific issue that was causing these crashes. We've spent the last two weeks fixing that issue (and every other small issue we found), and I think right now the experience is far smoother than before.

Please download the latest version of the App and you'll see a better experience.

### 5/5 — Very nice training

*2026-01-18*

I’ve always wanted to learn in the way that I would like to, that is interactive, and that is interesting, this is a four in one (the fourth is how cute the mascot is 🫂🫂🫂🥰🥰(never though I’d use those emojis as a boy)) I just got it yesterday

### 5/5 — great app

*2026-01-17*

great app

### 3/5 — Freezes

*2026-01-06*

Frequently freezes

**Developer response:** I agree 100%, and we have fixed this issue (and many others). If you download the latest version, you'll see a much smoother experience. To our knowledge, 99% of bugs/crashes have been solved. 

If any problems persist, feel free to ping me in Discord (or via email)

### 3/5 — App focus is on "remembering" than "learning"

*2025-10-03*

I was excited to try this app out. But app focus is on "remembering" than "learning"

**Developer response:** Hi @Ganesh! I understand the frustration 100%. We have changed our focus, and we're now emphasizing understanding a lot more! I would recommend you take another look. 

We have added:
(1) Positional puzzles with many formats.
(2) Video lessons recorded by me (I'm GM Mauricio Flores)

Lots of explanations on the courses as well. Ping me anytime if you have suggestions and we'll keep getting better. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Cool concept but bad UX

*2025-10-02*

The test your knowledge feature is really cool, a distinctive feature that tests middle game understanding. The problem is the UX hides the results behind the input panel.

**Developer response:** Hi @aneilbaboo: Thank you for your feedback! We have fixed this issue, it was reported on our Discord, and now we're doing MUCH better. Also released many new features.

I would recommend you download the latest version, it'll be far smoother.

### 5/5 — Improve Your Chess

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-04-01*
