### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-07-02*

The app is supposed to enable you to open a pgn file of a previously played chess match, and replay it on the App’s site. Well good luck with that because the app opens up with a screen that doesn’t respond to the import pgn file.  I don’t see the purpose of this app when there are so many others that are a thousand times better.

**Developer response:** Could you send me the pgn file to fix the issue that app doesn’t respond to the import file ?

### 3/5 — Create PGN Files

*2022-04-06*

Not what I expected when I read the description about what this app claims it can do.
You can only create a PGN by playing  game. So if you already have the PGN to play the game from why pay £2.50 to ‘create’ PGN by entering the moves you already have a list of?
Is there something I’m missing?
I expected to be able to use copy & paste to create a PGN file.
Don’t expect to have historical games in PGN and not have to actually enter the moves using the board.
I have yet to find anything that lets you paste in the moves and create a PGN.
£2.50 wasted

### 4/5 — Helpful app

*2021-06-03*

This app helps in the reviewing of openings that you import into it. And then you can use training mode to test your memory.

The app needs some tweaks but the developer is constantly updating. I’m happy with my purchase.

**Developer response:** Thanks.

### 1/5 — Only PGN file import by iTunes.

*2020-07-20*

It would be a good app but it only allows PGN file import by iTunes. You can’t even cut and past into the view. Not very useful at all. Don’t buy this app.

**Developer response:** I will try my best to improve my app. You can cut and paste into the view now.
