I am enjoying it
I did not like it

Really opens your eyes to the possibilities


Nice app to keep your skills tuned

Good app offering alternate variations and counterplay options. Somewhat leaning towards sacrifice solutions but that's ok.


Needs work

Poorly coded. Somehow Qg2# is wrong, but Qh1# is the solution. Mate is mate.

Amazing
LTPug

Just simply awesome. I am veteran and I was on pain med that had affected my memory and other things. This app has helped me exercise my brain increasing my problem solving, memory, logic, and visualization skills, not to include also help with my artistic abilities. I just have to say thank to the developers and all involved in this. I know it’s intended purpose is to help train chess players. But it’s helped on so many levels in life. Thank you again.


Ripped Off
Chosendragon

I purchased the full version of this app in 2018. I deleted it from my phone because I took a break from chess. I just redownloaded the app and it's asking me to purchase the full version again. There is no way to contact the developer for assistance in resolving this issue, and no way to restore my previous purchase.


Great app
Hiss100

The best puzzle app. Much better than chess.com puzzles.
