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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Having a great experience but the magnus bot is not working.. I was learning chess then magnus bot (5year) having bug ang issue, this makes me frustrated, so I can't continue my learning.. Please fix it!! So I can again continue my journey!!

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.

I have reached level 3(ace in the sleeve) and the chess board won't appear at all. Only the cards are visible and the screen is just black. It's unfortunate I can't proceed because of this

Fantastic app with a gamified player experience, which is perfect for chess newcomers and kids to learn in a fun way. Have recommended to my wife and her youngest kid too. ^.^
