The game overall is amazing, the only thing is that there is a bug where I can't unlock more lessons in the game. I have coins but it won't unlock the lessons. I can unlock characters to play against but that's it. Hope it gets fixed.

It's a decent app but I feel like you'd be better off using lichess's learn feature (which is currently unfortunately web-exclusive). This might be more interesting for children to learn chess in a more game-ified manner. Not sure if I like it more than chessbade's Fritz & Fertig though, which is the game I learned chess from as a child.

it's a great app but it has big problems sometimes when I open the app it keeps freezing and when I try to sing up doesn't work I've been thinking about pay for it but until you solve the problems I'm not gonna do that other than it's a good app with fun and interactive puzzles and exercise.

It was great at the beginning but I started doing some of the mate puzzles more recently and sometimes there are two pieces on one square and sometimes both of the mates are wrong and sometimes you can't move the pieces at all or even if your answer is right it still doesn't work

With the recent update, the grind to get tokens without spending money has become much more manageable. I get that they are a business and need to make money, and I'm glad I don't have to deal with a bunch of ads. I let my kids play, so I only have to worry about training them in one area of "don't click here" They also fixed the bug to get to easy lesson 7 During freeplay, the freezing when you get him in checkmate isn't that common for me. The gradual increase in difficulty is nice.

Despite its recent release, this chess application is undeniably one of the most overlooked and undervalued in its class. The instructional content is engaging and the practice exercises are both useful and beneficial. The app offers a variety of categorization options that allow users to identify and address specific areas for improvement with ease. Additionally, the app is gratuitous and provides access to all features without any intrusive advertisements. I highly recommend for any learner.

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 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.

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 have made the annual subscription payment, but it does not seem to be reflected in the app. As a result, I am unable to access the premium content. It is unfortunate that the app sold the premium content without providing access to it. I kindly request assistance in resolving this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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.

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.

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.

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 😕 👎👎👎

I'm stuck on the loading screen. Trying to sign up for the app, and I'm not getting any feedback when I tap the sign up button after giving my sign up details. Edit: Been able to log in using my old details, though the sign up issue still remains. Now, the new issue is with subscription. I subbed to a monthly plan, but for some reason, it hasn't reflected in the app yet. It still thinks I haven't, and as such, the premium lessons are still locked for me

Super cool app! Loved is so much I tried to upgrade to premium but it errors out. None of the premium content comes available even after trying to purchase. I'm literally trying to give them money, but not able. I just want to get better at chess and this was a fun way to do it. Unfortunately, until their premium subscription is working, I would not download this app.
