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.

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'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.

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
