Great app, great customer service

I was having user inflicted issues with the app. The Gano team walked me through it, on a Sunday. It was great.

The app works great. I would like to know what level the computer plays at. PLEASE change the name. The program should not be used to cheat, but to teach new players how to respond to moves and why one move is better than another. I'm a chess coach. I'm embarrassed to use it because of the name.


Average strength

3lectricity Tycoon

Very easy to insert your chess with friends matches. However, the strength of the chess engine is only around 1500 elo. Easily beaten by an advanced player.


Useless crap! Doesn't work.

Great salesmanship. Lots of sizzle. But no beef. Nice idea but the app fails to deliver on any of its promise. You cannot use it as a learning tool. The app doesn't let you review the history of moves in the game. I really hate feeling duped.


Very good

Suggested features

App works much better and most bugs have been resolved using my iphone5. Three features I would like to see: 1) A save option to be able to review significant games. 2). Dovetailing off the save feature, it would be helpful for those of us who play multiple games simultaneously to be able to have multiple boards available to save, name and reopen as necessary. 3). Ability to cut and past a sequence of moves onto a place on the screen for reference. I often toggle between multiple games and use this app to plan moves and strategies once I've gotten a feel for my opponent and his or her style experience etc. (I don't use the suggested moves or help feature.) I then cut and past that sequence of moves into notepad or sometimes even a text to myself or take a photo. So i do save them myself. But referencing them in the future when i have imported new games into the app and thus erased my move sequence on the white portion of the screen, is a challenge. Then I find myself cumbersomely toggling between notepad or a pic or a text and this app to input my previous moves but adjust for any variance in my opponent's actual moves. This is app allows me to actually to see the board many moves ahead, try multiple game plans etc. and I love playing this However, it would be valuable to have the ability to cut and past my game plan (moves) back into a small space on the screen itself. I play multiple games simultaneously and at times there can be long periods of time between moves and so relying upon memory isn't easy but I often don't want to or have time to rethink my game plan from scratch. Toggling is however a pain. I'm happy to explain further via email should that be helpful. Thanks again for a nice start to a great app.


Great App

Works great; no hang ups observed. Better than last one I used which gave bad moves. No bad moves found yet. Easiest to use and provides board for trying optional moves. I.e. love it

It would probably be a good app, but regardless of what I click it sends me to my homepage. ?
