### 5/5 — Excellent update

*2018-08-28*

New computer play mode with move now is great. I can play a line out or just make computer move rather than making it's moves to see next move. Updated book is nice for some lines that had poor coverage in the old book. Maybe more book updates can be done in the future.

### 5/5 — Hours of chess analysis in your pocket !

*2017-07-29*

Was looking for one such program for ages that allows .pgn files of games to be studied at depth later. 

Crisp uncluttered visuals on my iphone 7. What a treat !!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2016-05-06*

This app is absolutely fantastic - and free! Who needs fritz? I'd rather have this and £50 in my pocket!

### 5/5 — Retired thinker

*2015-02-08*

### 5/5 — Komodo

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2014-12-29, version 1.2*

Despite the author advertised the app on Talkchess it remains completely useless. I don't see why we need this app at all.

### 1/5 — What's the point of the app????

*2014-06-10*

What does this do???

### 3/5 — Is O.K.

*2021-10-13*

… usability improvement would be nice.

### 4/5 — Be perfect if it also labeled the opening name

*2024-12-18*

Great app, but please provide the names of the openings

### 4/5 — Label all columns

*2022-01-16*

Very useful app, but you need to label all of the columns in the move table. If that number to the far right is a percentage, I need to know what is it the percentage of?!

**Developer response:** Hi. if there are a total of 10 games on a row and 2 are wins, 6 are draws and 2 are losses, the points scored are 2 for the wins, at a half point each, 3 for the draws, so a total of 5/10. percentage is .50 or 50% win ratio

### 4/5 — Nice app with good analysis

*2021-07-22, version 2.00*

Please add a feature like arrow button to just press it for move that analysis movements its easier to use thank you.

### 4/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2015-08-18*

Please fix settings graphics on iPhone 6. Otherwise, great!

### 5/5 — It’s stable and does what it says

*2024-11-15, version 2.06*

Exactly as described - a chess opening explorer. It works and I am learning heaps from it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-07-20*

I use this app to help learn chess moves… I wish however it could tell me what the actual openings were called and the defenses I play so I can better get a grasp on what I’m playing and my play style!!

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2023-04-04*

Une application indispensable pour tout ceux qui veulent travailler leurs ouvertures aux échecs.
Gratuit et sans pub (non non aucune), permet de regarder les ouvertures déjà jouées.
Très bonne appli

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2022-09-01*

When I come back from my tournament then I can analyze it so that I can see how good or bad I played

### 5/5 — Simple and super useful

*2021-07-15*

Very nice, simple. Does exactly what I was looking for. I hope the author will expand its features!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-07-06*

Great chess analyzer.

### 5/5 — An important tool for serious players

*2020-06-13*

Surprised that this app has not been suggested as a must have tool for the serious chess player. It is important not only as a method to study openings but also to analyze the game.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-12-16*

Well I have not been able to find these in any app till now.

### 5/5 — Huge free resource it’s amazing

*2019-02-09*

You must get this. Go to “load PGN” in actions and look at all the games they have for free to check out 👌👌👌👌

### 5/5 — Very solid app

*2018-11-30*

I have been looking for an opening app for a while. Finally I feel I found it. It is great! Gives user a lot of freedom to try out and save moves.

Constructive feedback 
— some features are not intuitive such as saving games. 
— somehow ability to save different lines of same opening is missing 
— I am yet to figure out color coding scheme and what is the purpose of importing other games 

But regardless a wonderful app. Thank you
