If you are a kinesthetic learner this app will be so much more useful to you than following along in a book. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many identical drills *2025-02-22* Horrible app! Don’t buy it! It as too many identical drills, they provide no value. Whoever designed this app has no idea about chess training and coaching ### 1/5 — No spaced repetition *2021-02-16* There are thousands of puzzles, which is great, but it takes forever to get through them all and there’s no way to mix in what you’ve already tried into what you’re working on next to ensure the learning sticks the way this program is laid out. There’s no way, that I can see, to even review just the puzzles you got wrong or just the puzzles you got partially wrong. There’s no way to build a randomized set of problems from multiple sections to use as a warmup. You can only build a randomized set of problems from the same section. You may as well just go to that section... This app is best if you just want to practice one specific mate in 2 tactic, like queen+ rook mate in two, *hundreds of times in a row.* Or ALL the types of mates at once. Very repetitive and tedious. Not if you want to try 5 or 6 types of mates in a sample of 100 in a quick practice session. You have to choose “all mates” rather than a group of specific mates you’ve been working on. And not if you want to practice just the puzzles you missed. It’s also not clear how this mate in 2 app is different than the previous chess king mate in 2 app. ### 1/5 — Avis *2021-01-21* Beaucoup de répétitions dans vos exercices ### 1/5 — Zweizüger App *2019-11-07, version 1.2* Diese Aufgaben sind Kindergarten. Ich zeige euch mal einen Zweizügiger, der es in sich hat: Weiß: Kg1, Dc7, Td1, Tf1, La6, Lf2, Sa2, Sg2 (8). Schwarz: Kd5, Ta4, Tb8, La5, Le4, Sg6, Bb6, Bd2, Be6 (9). Weiß am Zug. (Habe ich übrigens selbst komponiert.) ### 4/5 — C'est Bon! *2021-01-12* J'ai trouvé dans les réglages la solution à mon problème de visualisation de la solution donnée par L'Appli. C'est cool 😃 ### 4/5 — Chess *2016-12-11* Muito bom para recuperar a concentração! ### 4/5 — Muito bom *2016-11-27* Achei muito bom para treinar. ### 5/5 — Buena práctica *2021-06-03, version 1.2* No enseña, sólo sirve para practicar. Cualquier tiempo muerto es valido para jugar un par de “mate en dos”. Ahora estoy instalando todas las Apps de este desarrollador. ### 5/5 — Great for kids *2019-04-21* I use this mostly for my two daughters (6 &9). It’s a little daunting for them to navigate on their own, but once I set the parameters, it’s a great tool to keep them keen on the road or when I don’t want to run book drills with them. Nice addition to chest of tools in creating the next Magnus 😉😋 ### 5/5 — Super jeu d’entraînement *2018-04-11* Excellent jeu d’entraînement pour passer du niveau zéro au top niveau. À chaque erreur l’ordi vous informe et vous explique pourquoi. Il attends que vous essayez d’autres solutions avant de vous proposer la bonne. Cours très progressifs. Et un très grand nombre de problèmes classés. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great way to improve *2018-02-07* Hundreds of entertaining puzzles to drive the lessons home. ### 5/5 — Topp! *2017-12-01, version 1.0.4* Wie alle Kurse von Convekta/ChessOK/ChessKing, die ich bisher probiert habe, von hoher Qualität zu einem fairen Preis. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Dieser spezielle Kurs bietet unzählige Stellungen mit Matt-in-Zwei-Aufgaben, mit Hilfe derer man seine Mustererkennung schulen kann. ### 5/5 — Отлично *2017-09-25* Отлично ### 5/5 — Понравилась программа *2017-09-23* Все понятно и просто спасибо.. ### 5/5 — Muy *2017-09-12, version 1.0.4* Ok muy bueno ### 5/5 — Отлично! *2017-09-08* Сынишка изучает основы шахмат! ### 5/5 — Joc amè i variat *2017-08-07, version 1.0.4* Està molt bé per practicar temes tàctics i hi ha multitud de problemes per fer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
