Much to like for two bucks a month.
It didn't take long to figure out the basics and it does have a very polished look and feel.
Super App
Hat mir sehr geholfen. Der Sync ist super.
Amazing
Thx for the app andi been a premium user for a while :D
Great for building and reviewing repertoires
When I hit 1900, I needed to synthesize my openings. I tried many apps and tools, but I found that those apps and tools just showed me the book and repeatedly quizzed me on which moves are right and wrong. On the other hand, King’s Cross has all of these features, it holds more moves than my other apps (which only held 100 moves on the free plan), and it is easy to replace moves on the smooth interface. The best thing about this app is that you can annotate the moves, and you can add multiple repertoires, so you can keep your moves separate (like a blitz repertoire and a classical repertoire).
Thanks!

Best opening trainer
My favorite opening trainer. Recommend. Only negative is I wish it had sound for the moves otherwise perfect.
Great app
According to my phone’s usage data I use this more than any other app. I have put in all my openings and it is a great way to drill them when I have a five minute break. I’ve also put in my repertoire against each of my frequent opponents. This is useful for tournaments when I only find out who I’m playing 30 minutes ahead of time. There is NO limit on depth (one review stated this incorrectly)

Not enough depth
Limit of 10 moves even for premium is pretty dumb. There’s opening theory that extends way deeper, and it would be nice to be able to practice the main lines. The move limit seems like a pretty artificial restriction; I can’t imagine that expanding the move limit would hard feature to implement.
Great for training your openings
This app is really well developed and is really useful for people wanting to improve their chess game. The opening is important and probably ignored by most young and beginner players. I’m glad I downloaded it!
Great features. Intuitive and useful. Highly rec.
Has opening books embedded
Can comment on each move and position in repertoire
Engine evaluation for each move
Statistics of games for each opening move
Other cool features like annotation symbols for position evaluation, move evaluation, or comparison to alternative moves.

Everything you are looking for.
This app is all I wanted when looking for a way to memorize my openings. Don’t go and price gauge us after we’re hooked! Great job!
Great app
I love the app I just wish it had sound.
Fantastic
I love this app and think it's the best one around. But after adding a few dozen lines it becomes cumbersome to use. Can the indented lines be used to collapse the connected lines to make scrolling a quicker task?
Very limited
Less possibilities, more limits.
Best opening App
Easy to forget how good this app is. They recently dropped the ridiculous price and out a reasonable annual fee. Want a good 5 star opening app. Its right here.
An indispensable tool for opening study
I paid for an annual subscription ($13, I think) and I use this app every day. It’s the best I’ve found for drilling opening lines. I’m better booked up than my opponents who use Chessable. I maintain my openings in a Lichess study and import the PGN to the app, but you don’t have to do that, you can just select lines in the app.

Absolutely brilliant
This app is superb. Everything you need to store, track and train your opening rep, in a beautifully designed iOS app. I use this app for all my opening prep and training and would be completely lost without it. Better than cumbersome solutions like chessbase. Highly recommended!!
Clean and does the job perfectly
I’m absolutely delighted with how neat and sophisticated the UI is. Very minimal distractions and rather elegant animations. Does the Job of assisting in remembering your repertoire very well. Will definitely recommend this app when it comes to mobile repertoire training.
Loaded with adverts
This could be a really great app, but it’s loaded with adverts.
Exactly what I was looking for
I’m a 1200 rated chess player so I’m just starting to develop my openings repertoire. The standard way of going through PGN’s felt so clunky, I’ve been looking for a way to train my repertoire through mastery, and this app is literally perfect.
I think the best way to use this app is to go through your chess.com openings explorer and look at all of the responses you typically get.
To the guy complaining about only getting 3 openings: I think that’s a reasonable starting point, maybe 5 might be a nice compromise.
I personally don’t need more than 3 at the moment, and 17$ is a little steep for me right now. I do implore you to offer a monthly subscription. They are much more appealing as an impulse buy and I’d love to support this app.

Would be a 5+ star program, if ...
. . . if it were not so enormously overpriced. At $10 or even $15 I would purchase in a heartbeat, but no way would I pay the current subscription price.
