App is not being supported

I paid for a lifetime subscription which would not be refunded in spite of the app not being at least competently supported.

Very good app

Many free exercises with very clear instructions that helps the user learn easily at any level. I would definitely recommend 🤩🤩🤩

Excellent teaching and training app

For years I have wanted to be coached in chess and up to now I could not find a way that I could afford. This app fulfills that need and also gives me someone to play,since I have no one close who plays. How often do you get the opportunity to play the master. Thank you Magnus!

Best Investment

I practised every day, and my pattern recognition improved quite a lot. Tactics Visibility increased. I was able to visualise properly, and it also dramatically improved my understanding of Chess positions.
