Pop ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-10-15, version 1.0* Maurice Ashley breaks down everything I desperately need. Great App! ### 5/5 — The best chess app for learning *2020-10-08, version 1.0* Excellent way of teaching. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your great feedback. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor app *2021-12-12, version 1.2.2* I had high hopes. I’m only on lesson two and the puzzles aren’t working. ### 3/5 — No additions? No updates? *2022-09-19, version 1.2.2* I thought this app was going to receive “frequent updates” and new features along the way. No update in over a year… I didn’t mind paying for the app initially, but now I’m kinda wondering why I did. I thought there would be much more to this app, or much more coming?? Does the developer respond?? ### 4/5 — Almost 5 stars *2021-09-15, version 1.2.2* Loads of fun and very instructional. I would give it 5 stars if the ‘easy’ match for playing a game was truly easy, but it’s not. ### 4/5 — Commentary audio *2021-05-12, version 1.2.2* Just wanted to share that it took me several minutes to figure out why I couldn’t hear Maurice talking after the latest update. It seems strange that the update made the default setting to mute his commentary during the lessons. Without his commentary you can’t tell what’s going on. It also seemed to say it was set to subtitles, but I didn’t see any subtitles. Otherwise I’ve greatly enjoyed learning from this app so far. ### 4/5 — Bugs *2021-02-17, version 1.0.4* I played a match against the easy level bot and ended up being able to capture black’s king. ### 5/5 — Suggestions *2024-05-24* Amazing app and great instructional material to learn how to play chess. Would be nice to have more puzzles or give the option to use own pgn to puzzle rush ### 5/5 — Expand your mind *2021-05-06, version 1.2.2* A great app for keeping your brain sharp. And you learn some chess along the way. Also, thanks for making the adjustment to make the clock visible in the skill builders on my iPhone 7. ### 5/5 — Superb and so much fun!! *2021-02-06, version 1.0.4* I am not a chess player but this app definitely peaked my interest. Love the skill builder function to teach the basics. I feel motivated when Maurice trash talks me. 😂😂😂 ### 5/5 — Get this app! *2021-02-05, version 1.0.4* I got this right when I started playing and it really helped me to see the entire board. The puzzles are great and skill builders are unique to chess learning apps. They are challenging in all the best ways. I can’t recommend this app enough if you want to improve your chess. ### 5/5 — This app will add 100 ELO points to your rank *2021-02-04, version 1.0.4* And probably more if you’re under 1500 The skill builder games are amazing! With daily play, you will completely understand how pieces move and interact. Never again will you be unclear how that knight, is going to move. Rook b1 ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Insightful and hilarious *2021-01-15, version 1.0.2* I’ve gone through many chess apps. Maurice is unusual in his ability to truly distill the essence of chess principles into a condensed format. Even if you’re a moderate to advanced player, there is something of value here. He is also undeniably funny. ### 5/5 — Been Waiting ...Super Grateful *2020-11-30, version 1.0.2* So Glad Maurice has resurfaced with an App even cooler than before! The skill builders the trash talk and the encouragement in his voice makes you feel connected to the game and it’s infinite possibilities. Maurice so glad this app is here! ### 5/5 — This is the best chess app I’ve seen in years! *2020-11-23, version 1.0.2* Drop everything and get this app, it is hands down the most fun you’ll ever have using a chess app. First of all, the skill builders are not only fast-paced action fun, they are completely original, you’ve never seen anything like these and - - they will turbocharge your chess. Once you play them and see how great they are you’ll be scratching your head wondering why in the world other chess platforms don’t use Maurice’s super training tools. Maurice’s interactive reactions and the active feel of the app are a breath of fresh air, and it is smooth, perfectly responsive and snappy. ### 5/5 — The sound doesn't work *2020-11-16, version 1.0.1* The sound doesn't work after downloading today. The app looks promising, but I can't get the sound to play **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry, that you are having problems with the sound. Could you please make sure, that the sound of your phone is not muted? (Switch on the left side).
