The app is good with interface and explanation of the game, but the only problem I faced was when I tried to play the stage where you have Carlsen as an opponent, the chess board doesn't even appear maybe the resources couldn't load or something but it was really problematic, please solve this issue.

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.

About 3 months ago I started a monthly subscription, and two months later I moved to a yearly subscribtion. But two days ago I noticed that the app didn't cancel my previous subscription an the I was paying both the monthly and the yearly, then I stopped both of them because I didn't want to pay for untrusted app. The yearly subscription was supposed to end in February 2024 but now the app doesn't give me access to the premium content that I've paid for 😕 👎👎👎

Bought premium feature on monthly plan and transaction is made and amount deducted from my bank balance but still my access is blocked and I am not able to use the features. Edit:They actually worked pretty fast on it after talking with them on email and resolved the issue

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.

Use a free app, don't waste your time. Unplayable unless you pay the subscription fee. Earning enough credits to buy a single token takes literally hours, and you can't progress or even play certain online matches unless you unlock them with tokens.

Capturing a defender-overloading lesson, interference, pinning, forking, double check. These are all valuable lessons that get you to think about how the game works in the long term, very good. But getting coins for them is very hard to do. What is missing : capture sequences (chains)

I subscribed for the trial and I could never access the premium features. I reached out to customer service and never got a response after weeks or waiting. The app is not being actively managed. Look it up o line. So, I deleted the app and download another one.

UNDERRATED APP, this is the best chess trainer app that ive seen like you can unlock lessons without using money and that alone is already really good i really like this app because it offers alot of benefits. Edit: i bought some gold coins i got it but suddenly it said there was a problem with my connection (i already had my own account signed up) then after a few seconds i lost my whole progress and i also lost the gold coins that i bought so i lost my money and my progress... Please fix it.

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.

The app is great. The exercises, explanations are top notch. Buuuuut in the end, the token system is very aggressive and the app's full price is extremely high. The greed needs to be tuned down a bit. Reduce the grind, be more generous with unlocks, make more things free, improve packs and we'll feel we're not overpaying.
