Review
Very good chess tutor!
Too expensive
It should be $5 a year or a one time buy forever
Five stars for sure
I wish the developers would drop some code in to allow us ‘beginners’ to leave ourselves notes. Other than that, it’s spot on.
Français nul
La version française a été traduite de l’anglais par un traducteur automatique et n’a clairement pas été revue. Le mot évêque est utilisé pour nommer le fou et l’on parle de « promouvoir » au lieu de prendre pour ne citer que deux exemples. Du coup, l’application, en plus de causer de la confusion, enseigne des inexactitudes.

Improved, but not there yet
I was away from this for a year, and some things have improved during that time, but there really needs to be an option to export the games played here to another program/chess site so I can do a detailed review like Gotham chess, chess,com, lichess or something else.
There also needs to be an option to limit or remove the feedback from Dr. Wolf during a game. One of the phrases I really can’t stand, is “Things are looking very good for me, indeed”. Don’t goat over the victory to the student. Rather guide the student away from making the error(s) that got them to that point. The training exercises don’t do this. The analysis from the above apps do, and do it very very well. If only I could export the games played here. I thought the old version supported this.

Great for beginners
I had no idea how to play chess, but my friends wanted me to learn. I saw this and downloaded it and I literally caught on so quick. The way it teaches you and allows you to learn is amazing. Plus the coach is very friendly which makes you feel good about the stuff you do in the game. I also like how it allows you to undo things and it specifies that it’s here to teach you, not punish you. Kudos to whoever made the app. You guys did an awesome job

It’s a lot of fun but but it makes mistakes although it’s been 4 years and I just got one
Ehh
First Rate AI engaging and intuitive , training is top shelf
I gotta say the AI or the scripting for Dr. Wolf's persona is first rate , it's really engaging and not repetitive. It drills down on your moves as if it's thinking with you and that's hard to create. It responds uniquely to every kind of scenario I've seen so far.
This is my first five star review for any app!

Why you should get dr wolf
I love this game! When I began, I was very inexperienced at chess, but I
AMAZING
I’m a very beginner in chess. Always wanted to learn. This app is absolutely perfect and amazing to learn from. It is the best app out there. It gives lessons step by step and repeat if needed. Also hits for the next move if needed. I am learning the fundamentals, basic and move and advance moves too. I would highly recommend ! No commercials either on this game to interrupt. The best app so far !

More things to learn
I’ve been learning from this app for awhile and i really like it i was hoping you guys would add the kings indian defense as a lesson
Good but not the best.
I tried to do the 4 knights Italian opening and no matter how much you rewind and play the same move he never changes his move. He makes it impossible to do that opening.
Great app for new players or to improve your game
This is a great way to learn the basics of chess and pickup some techniques. For the most part the lessons follow a logical development, but they can get off into the weeds from time to time with too many variations to keep up with in a short lesson. But chess isn't a simple game. One thing missing is more puzzles independent of the lessons. But by the time you are ready for those you will probably already be onto Lichess or Chess.com.

Chess
Excellent tutorials and great tips.
Why no good must fix it now
He is to hard and keeps talking when I try to focus then he makes me sad then he never moves when it is a draw I press un do and he keeps doing that move so I get more and more draws then he dose not let me win when I am at cheackmate
The best way to learn chess fundamentals
It’s always my go to recommendation for anyone wanting to learn. Also, it’s just a pleasant way to learn chess
Great !!
I found the app on the App Store used my free trail and kept it! If you really want to take it seriously and learn from the beginning chose Dr.wolf
What’s wrong with animation
Animation of moves has become annoyingly slow after update and no option to revert it back in the settings
How bad is Dr. Wolf (Actually, a little more than kind of bad)
I want to complete the task, win with none of the pawns taken.And he keeps taking them, so I have to restart the game almost every every every single time. (And it’s about more than 10 times) (And it’s soooooooooo annoying)
