Good, but must use same device
Jondoe2003
Cannot sign into Facebook to sync with website (says I am not signed in but I am, both the in-phone app and in safari). Cannot transfer training because it will not recognize the chessimo login that works perfectly fine on the website. So I can't sync with online profile from my phone and I can't start training on the online profile and transfer to my phone. Old review: It seems a lot of puzzles where there aren't moves forced by checks rely on the computer making mistakes. Even the app's own AI won't make the moves programmed into the puzzles. The app crashes often when playing the AI in exercises to explore alternatives. The AI stops responding and you end up playing both sides until the crash. Would be 4 starts, but at the price I want an app that doesn't crash when doing normal things.
Fun to hard to see

I like it but when playing black, it's hard to see what pieces are on the top row because of the column labels.
Great instruction

Easy to use, good interface, and lots of good teaching points. I looked at a lot of chess trainers and this one works the best.
Like it!
Jeff, business user
It's a great way for me to get my brain back into chess. I like the fact that I can do a few exercises if I just have a couple spare minutes.
Very informative

This app offers a lot of great tactics for beginners like me, and has helped me improve my game through the numerous and most importantly detailed explanations of exercises.
Issue with purchases

I had purchased with my iTunes account in old device. When I changed the phone I could not see that reflected. My old device is no longer in use or active.
Cannot transfer purchases

I like this app but when I had to replace my phone I cannot transfer my purchased units. It's also not possible to contact the developer through the App Store link because their website doesn't function.
Great value

Effective. This combined with Chernev's, "Logical Chess," and Nimzowitsch's, "My System," provide a comprehensive preparation for sophisticated chess play.
