Major Problems
AppReviewer-101
This app has so many errors that it's not funny. In quiz mode it tells you that you are correct when the data shows that you are wrong and it says that you wrong when the data shows that you are correct. Others have complained about this flaw but it looks like no attempt has been made to correct this major flaw! Too bad, otherwise it could be a good app.
Not great

The program doesn't allow you to begin an opening and thereafter make your own moves. I would prefer that I be able to play my own game after the opening as if I were playing a human.
Even Great for Beginners

I'm far from at the point where I need to memorize even a handful of openings, and even I can benefit from this amazing tool. It's perfect for analysis, and for getting the hang of even the first three moves to see where you can develop from there. I'm sure as I progress, this will become ever more useful, but I'm already getting a lot out of Openings. If I had one gripe about this app, it's missing support for landscape mode. Not only would that make it less annoying, it would allow the developer to use the screen more efficiently.
Wonderfully made!!

Excellent user interface. Great database as well. This was exactly what I was looking for. A must-have for chess enthusiasts!
Love the app

One of the only one out there that let you search and learn the openings, see win loss draw frequency, and test the your play against the engine. Worth it!
Exactly what I wanted

I was looking for a database of openings that I could easily study in spare moments. I have some books which talk about opening theory and variations, these are interesting but I am not yet at that level. The most useful things I have found are videos from the Saint Louis Chess Club and this app. Quiz mode is fabulous, and you can quickly flip from the quiz to full openings. The only criticism I have is that the search function is not robust (if I type "queen Indian" it will not find "Queen's Indian"). But it's still easily worth the price!
