### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-07-25*

Can’t even create a user name. I have an iPhone

### 1/5 — ripped off

*2017-08-01*

An eh program. I paid to get rid of the ads and they are still there.

### 1/5 — Constant Crashing

*2017-01-15*

Cant open the app on iOS 10.2. Please fix!

**Developer response:** Hi bobbynight, We believe this is now fixed. Can you try the latest update and re-review? Many thanks, SwiftChess

### 3/5 — Great app but it needs an update..

*2020-05-27*

I like this app a lot, I am 1800 +/- 25 rated player and find it quite entertaining and educative on all Chess Endgames, however it seems to me that in some games and puzzles the build in chess engine stops working and the player is left trying to figure out whether the puzzle is completed or there are more moves that the engine has in mind, in some cases the hint button does not work at all...When this up app is finally updated and iron out those little problems I will gladly give it 5 stars on my next review.

### 3/5 — Nice apps, but annoying ads

*2018-02-03*

Simple graphics, but good content.

Ads are killing me. Let me pay for an ad-free version!

### 4/5 — Cool app -- but needs an ad-free version

*2017-07-07*

Strangely, the "Lite" version of this app is ad-free but expires after 48 hours.  Which means the non-lite version costs nothing but bombards you with ads -- including ads that interrupt your endgame challenge while you're still trying to solve it.  (For instance, if your endgame requires 6 moves you may get an  ad after 2.). I've suggested making the regular version the Lite version and offering a regular, ad-free version for a couple of bucks, but I have no idea whether the maker will listen to reason.  Anyway, if you want to work on your endgame skills this is a fun way to do it ... assuming you can stand having ads interrupt your train of thought.

### 4/5 — Good app for chess improvers

*2016-08-05, version 1.0*

I coach juniors and adults. I'm recommending this new app to 3 of my pupils. The app is challenging and instructive, yet fun. It will be developed further, I believe.
It makes you think precisely. Too many talented juniors simply improve to the point where they beat their friends - using this app for 15 minutes most days will get them to higher standards (or, they will lose to friends who practice v the app).
Give it a try!

### 5/5 — Excellent end game practice

*2019-09-01*

Select from catalogue of end games with  piece selection filter 👍 

The “play correct moves” button and subsequent staged reveal is very well executed in this app, pedagocically speaking.

These two aspects make it unique from other tactics puzzles apps I’ve tested so far.

Well worth trying

### 5/5 — This is my favourite app

*2017-06-11, version 1.0*

Love it

### 5/5 — Surprisingly good.

*2016-08-07*

A must for improving your game. Nice chess app. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!!

*2016-08-01, version 1.0*

Bought this app a few days ago and have become hooked on checkmate challenge! I love how it starts really easy for any beginner but builds to some REALLY hard puzzles if you progress! Great app.
