### 1/5 — Would love to see UI improvements!

*2025-12-18, version 1.0.23*

The idea is great, but the app is kinda far from user friendly at this point. You can’t share games with your friends (though that would bring more people onto the app,) you can’t look up games by tournament, player, or year, and you can’t see the engine lines live from the app, you’re only shown the top three moves of each game. There are many ways to improve on making the chess more accessible, which is something that has made chess more popular in the first place, and would make the app more popular than it is now. There’s more YouTube feed and pictures of tournament winners than there is actual chess to follow. I mean, there is a tab where you can guess the winner of a game or the next move on certain games, but there’s no option to analyze board positions of random players. Also, the website only posts the video feed from the app, it doesn’t have the collection of games and standings from recent tournaments like the app does. Having David Howell on your YouTube channel only makes your YouTube channel better, it doesn’t make your app or website better. Please improve the UI, and please don’t ever make people pay for this. Access to modern chess should be free.

### 5/5 — Good move

*2025-10-13, version 1.0.23*

Really good App for following the Chess World.

### 4/5 — Features for use

*2025-09-30, version 1.0.23*

The video player works well, but I need the ability to play videos with the iOS MiniPlayer while using other apps or as background audio. Otherwise I’ll just be watching TTT on YouTube for those features

### 4/5 — Desperately needed update

*2025-09-23*

This app so desperately needs a sleep mode setting for notifications. 

Chess players have a constantly shifting sleep schedule that chess fans do not. I love following players live with notifications but I do not like when they are competing at 3Am and I have work in the morning.

### 3/5 — Need iPad compatible app

*2025-09-07, version 1.0.22*

I follow this app to know news in the chess world. But I need to follow news on iPad too..

### 5/5 — Loving games with annotation

*2025-08-24*

The app allows you to know when your favorite players are playing and you can follow along with annotated moves which helps to understand the ideas being played out. This is definitely my favorite feature of the app. Though sometimes the annotators make typos or, like in the Pragg v Duda game in the Sinquefield cup, Duda suddenly became Abdusattorov!

### 1/5 — Evaluation bar

*2025-08-13, version 1.0.21*

Bar not working

### 5/5 — Great app, still some flaws

*2025-08-09*

‘Take Take Take’ is a great app, it really allows you to dive into parts of chess without visiting all sorts of websites. But the app can definitely be improved. For example, I think adding filters to the ‘Schedule’ page or search filters to the ‘Favorites’ page could really make the app more accessible.

### 1/5 — pathological narcissist Magnus !

*2025-07-03, version 1.0.19*

If you don't even enjoy playing chess right now, with what face and audacity do you dare to demean a player as 'weak' before a match- only to be humbled when it's over?
I've enormous respect for the player you are but you're a pathological narcissist.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-05-29, version 1.0.18*

I can’t find the search bar to add favourite players only have the ones I could add from the start
