The worst
Do not download. They steal your credit card info and personal info. Be warned.
Great app for chess puzzles
Works exactly as advertised. The app will convert a photo to a playable chess board which is great for puzzles, analyzing positions, etc. The design is simple and intuitive.
Flat out doesnโt usually work
Most of the times Iโve tried to use this, it does not detect a chessboard, regardless of whether it is in "auto" or "manual" scan modes. Sometimes it works but the failure rate is very high. Modern AIs such as perplexity can easily create a PGN from a gif but this appears to be some ancient LLM that requires things to be absolutely perfect to work right. Stopped using it.

Brilliant tool for chess training
Ideal to scan a position from a tactics book to solve it as a defensive or offensive puzzle ie switch sides and stop the tactic . Ten times quicker or more than setting up a board or inputting a position manually .
