The best book reader for chess!

Daniel117

I have tried several book readers and this is the best because you have a mini board to follow the moves from the book and never miss a variation, it's so useful because the pieces move as you just the move in the text. The Kindle has a lot of books but no board to follow the moves. This is the standard all book readers for chess should follow?. 5-star app!

Pity it crashes

JEowynD

In principle this is an excellent app. In execution, quite the opposite. The Jerry Silman book appears to crash it after only the fourth time I open the book. After downloading the book and app for the third time I am about to give up. It doesn't matter how good the principle is, the app simply does not work for me. Yes, I had the same result with an iPad two and an iPad.

Need Opening Books

DigiZombis

This app is really an excellent idea. Just this evening I was getting frustrated attempting to setup positions from one of my chess books and thought it would be so great if there were interactive ebooks where the positions are already setup. That's when I searched and found this. My issue with this app however is that it needs books dedicated to specific openings like the Sicilian, Nimzo Indian, Ruy Lopez, etc. Strategy books are good but too general.

Good App

e+ chess fan

This apps is really good. The concept comes from custom chess tables where the size of the table allows you to place comfortably a large chess set plus a large book. Here you have the same Idea but on your iPad with a very user friendly interface. So far, the only book I bought runs smoothly and I am happy with the product. I would like to suggest the developer to offer bundles ( you get a discount when buy two or more books) as his/her competitors do. Also It will be good if the developers provide an email on the user guide so customers can give provide feedback without using the review section for it.

Great

Chessboard too small

Faneron

The animated chessboard is too small. It looks too small in the ipad mini. On the other hand, there is a significant amount of space wasted at the right side of the chessboard which could be used to make it more visible.

Buggy

Krolth45

The book selection is limited at the moment, however the most frustrating thing for me is how buggy it is. Books will not open or they will only show a blank page, you need to restart the application for it to work, etc. Disappointing given the fact that the books are pricey.

Best interactive chess book app

E&ECS

This has all of the essential features you need for interactive learning with chess books. The available books is small but decent with prominent authors such as Sillman and Heisman. Library also contains classics by Capablanca, Lasker, and Nimzowitsch.

Great! Great! Great! WOW!!!

Gampapa3

This is a great app to learn from great chess books that have been made to interactive right on my iPhone and iPad. I've bought Silman's Endgame Manual, Chess Praxis, Chess Strategy for Club Players, Invisible Chess Moves and Improve Your Tactics!! The app works great although I wish they would make it right side up instead of having to hold the iPhone on its side. I hope they Publish Paul Keres Road to the Top and Quest for Chess Perfection!! Also Alekhine's My Best Games would be great!! I'm so thankful to the makers of this product!! Thanks so much epluschess !!! Keep up the good work!!

Annoying updates

Roblewis5

Please stop making me re-download all of my books when updating this app...what a hassle!
