I love this app! It's fast, beautiful, and comprehensive. Makes it very easy to practice and learn all the most common (and rare) openings. The author is active on improvements, and takes user recommendations to heart. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!" -- by ECHOOooo
"Great opening tool - *****
There are very few apps that I will take the time to review. However, this is one app that I use every day. It sharpens my opening knowledge Nd would be worth far more than the price at which I purchased it. Kudos."
"Awesome - *****
Easy to use. Easy to follow. Great for those indisposed multitasking opportunities... Strong work fellas!"

Excellent tool for chess learning
Cubigami
I use this app all the time and it delivers what it promises. If you are serious about chess, you will get your money’s worth in the paid version. One thing that would make for a better user experience would be some sort of buttons or gesture controls to parse through moves. (The SmallFish iOS app does this well—perhaps something similar to their setup would be doable.) It’s a little annoying to have to tap the tiny moves in the annotation bar under the board to advance through a line. My only real complaint is that positions that are reached with multiple move orders do not always show the same results. I recently noticed this while looking through a Sicilian line: if you enter 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 Nxd4 4.Nxd4 cxd4 5.Qxd4, there is no data for the position, whereas the more common 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nxd4 5.Qxd4, with the pawn taking first and the knight taking second, displays several suggestions from the app’s database even though they transpose to the same position. I’m not sure if this is an intended feature, but it would be most helpful if this were not the case. It makes me wonder what other results aren’t showing up in positions that are commonly reached through several different move orders.
This apps so good I wish I could hump it

No bugs, clean interface and you can do engine analysis too. It’s a perfect app for both experts and beginners to memorize opening lines.

Helpful and better than the last version but could be better. The statistics are confusing-- it is not clear which move or opening is best for white and which for black. Needs more detailed instructions FAQ.
Excellent application
