Ratings and reviews

Great app for learning chess. Has high quality lessons. My only complaint is that it is buggy. Some puzzles have more than one solution but if you play the move not programmed into the solution it is marked as failed. This also happens in mate in 1 puzzles. Because of this you will not always score three stars. Sometimes the entire board gets randomly filled with pieces if you accidentally try to make a move without first identifying the motif first.

I am having a realy good time with this app (bought monthly subscription). Love the style of writing and the material that has been chosen. Keeps me engaged and creates feeling of progression. App is riddled with bugs though and live oponents usually use engines, so I'm very much looking forward to future updates. Hopefully very near future! ;) Edit: Canceled subscription until bugs and stability issues are resolved.

I really really like this app and wanted to upgrade to Premium. However, I kept getting an error message saying they couldn't contact the store. Email to customer support was not responded to so looks like this might be a dead app which is really unfortunate.
