## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not user-friendly

*2016-11-06, version 0.9.5*

The way the exercises are arranged it is not easy to use them efficiently which wastes time.

### 5/5 — Exceptional Content

*2022-05-23*

This app version of Viktor Henkin, 1000 Checkmate Combinations takes one of the very best books for teaching the most vital element of chess skill and presents it for interactive reading and practice on mobile devices. I’m reading the book, which I find immensely useful (I’m a USCF A Class tournament player and active chess coach), and following along in the app, which reinforces the book’s content. The app is also a bargain, as it costs 1/3 of the book’s price and contains all of the content.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

### 5/5 — Perfekter Trainer

*2017-01-06*

Super Spaß und viele Übungen.
Super Zeitvertreib wenn es langweilig ist:
Spielen während das Warten in der Schlange im Supermarkt, Bus, ubahn oder Zug.
Empfehlenswert.

### 5/5 — Great training app

*2016-12-27*

Excellent training software. Made a noticeable improvement in my game. I'm finding 3-4 move deep mating combinations now where I previously wouldn't have noticed them.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-12-12*

I love this app. Great for chess training. No crashes. Pleasing UI.
