User reviews

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.
