Please help. ### 1/5 — Requires google or Facebook account *2021-03-31, version 2.14.6* No option that I can find to just log in via email. Have to use google or Facebook. No thanks. Shame too. ### 5/5 — Ideal app for following the pros *2020-08-17, version 2.14.6* Updating this in August of 2020. The dev continues to add new features and fixes bugs constantly. Great app, highly recommended! My original review: Very reliable and feature-laden app, with frequent updates from the developer. ### 4/5 — Needs upcoming tournaments *2019-09-07, version 2.11.1* Great app, perfect for chess enthusiast like myself. Would’ve rated five stars if I was able to see upcoming tournaments in the tournament list, and if it was easier to distinguish between moves made in the game by the players and analysis moves I make on the board (the notation looks the same under the board). ### 5/5 — Keep on top of the latest GM games *2019-06-28, version 2.10.2* App would be even better with built in Stockfish engine. ### 1/5 — Hate getting spammed with rating requests *2018-11-09, version 2.9.13* That's al ### 5/5 — Grateful; from a Chess Hobbyist! *2018-09-29, version 2.9.13* This Lovely format, allows for a non intrusive look at the outside world of the World’s Greatest Game! Unfortunately, my Love for the game, supersedes my ability to play! I would not want to add any pretentious mystique about my abilities to critique! Just know that I welcome & appreciate any/all accommodations that can add to my development of play, & understanding, while enjoying my most favorite activity! Being an elderly, semi-recluse, this safely allows for a transporting/transcending, that I have neither the funds, or physical ability to facilitate! Thank You; May there be Blessings unto You & Yours, for the Good Will that this App., intentionally, or unintentionally, instigates! Respectfully, xSpyridonGermanKoukouzelis ### 5/5 — Best App. *2018-01-18, version 2.9.2* I am very happy with this App. Roayme. ### 5/5 — Odlican *2017-10-07, version 2.8.1* Odlican ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2017-07-04, version 2.7.1* Very nice design, great information, and easy analysis.
