Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Openings Mastermind holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Openings Mastermind's written reviews are positive against 80% of Chess Trainer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
