Does not work
The equivalent website is good but this app unfortunately does not work at all. A pity as would be good to use on the go.
Still way too buggy
Access to web apps is spotty. They’re useful, when they work, but the videos still are completely broken, for example. Also it’s entirely too easy to tap a button that takes you to a place from which you cannot return. There’s a lot of potential for this app in the Chessbase ecosystem, but Chessbase itself seems completely uninterested in it these days. CT-ART is a far better tactics trainer than this is. This *could* be a great app, if CB ever decides to care about it. Until it does, there’s no real point in buying it.

App startet nicht
Beim Starten auf dem iPad erscheint lediglich ein weißer Bildschirm. Wofür zahlt man eigentlich die Premiumbeiträge?
Useful
The server was down over Christmas when I first tried this, so not a great start, but that’s now been resolved.
Looks like a useful little app to sharpen one’s skills.

Poorly done
This doesn't feel like an iOS game at all. The interface is horrible.
The chess problem may be interesting but they are badly designed and poorly described: I tried two and they were both 'Black to move and win', except it didn't meant in the next move! And White's response to the "hinted" move is not forced... so badly posed chess problems.
In short... a poorly done chess problems app.
Why is this a Featured App???

Very bad Web based ui
Pure ios ui will be more user friendly and responsive. After this update I can not use this program.
Neues design
Danke fuer den update
Good app
How many tactics are there? I wanna purchase them all :D
Weak
First a "tactic" in this app is 1 MOVE, so 1 "puzzle" could count for as many as 5 "tactics" so you may not get 100 puzzles for 99¢, second, not all are tactics, some puzzles are just for the best move, which can be confusing if you're looking for a tactic.

Always crashes, I expected better. Very disappointed!

Major bug
After getting about 3/4 the way through, a bug appears. The bug always first appears on the same puzzle (the one u put black in zugzwang before taking pawn Kxg5). As soon as you try to move the pawn to the right square the app crashes back to iOS home screen.
Can only get around by pressing hint first, then moving the piece. But you must continue to press hint before any subsequent moves after this, or again the app crashes once you make the right move. Using hint results in not being awarded the point for the puzzle, which is fundamental aim of solving the puzzles...! Please fix...

Tactics
Without everytime buying new puzzles, you can not solve already bought problems.
Horrible.
There are no instructions on how to use this app.
Gute Idee, aber noch unreife Umsetzung
Die App stürzt recht häufig ab. Die Oberfläche ist minimalistisch, aber ausreichend. Schade finde ich, dass die weiteren Züge bzw. die Begründung für die richtigen Züge nicht angezeigt werden.
Waste of money! Keeps crashing
For a few hours it was great and then it started to crash / close itself down. Very disappointed because I'm trying to get back into chess after a break of a few years. Save your money until CB update this potentially useful app.
DOES NOT WORK.
At a certain point the app will crash EVERYTIME you key in a move.
Impossibly bad
This is the most confusing, least functional chess tactics program I've ever seen for iOS; there's no reason in the world this software should've been released in this lousy condition. It's embarrassing how badly ChessBase is adapting to the new world of tablet computing and mobile apps.
Awful, damages Chessbase's reputation
Terrible user interface, no history, can't go back. Can't imagine who designed, built or QA'd this app. Chessbase has a good reputation but it's seriously knocked with this app.
Update: getting the same constant crashes as reported elsewhere. Won't buy other CB products for iPad
