This will mess up your chess
lefortfracture
This app will mess up you chess, because many solution require a move that will make it a mate in two but is NOT forced. So really the puzzles are wrong because there are delay moves, as well as moves that would avoid the mate. So if you enter some of the puzzles into a chess engine and ask it to solve it, you will find too many puzzles are bad. But if you are looking to mess up your chess this is a great app for that. garbage. .whats worse is the apps still has the same issue since ipad one. and its july 2015 and non of their apps are fixed. update 2016 and still not fixed
Challenging, but not impossible

I've been working one or two if these puzzles every evening for several months. I typically spend between 10 and 30 minutes figuring each puzzle out. Very engaging!
Mate in 2?

I enjoying using mate in 2, I only wish that there was an option to play black against the white, because sometimes I'm sure it's not a true mate in 2 game, only an error on blacks move.
Addictive!

I really enjoy this app. Sometimes I find it very hard to put down. I just know I'll do better on the next puzzle! I do wish that, after a puzzle is solved, I could reverse some black moves and try different responses. Sometimes it seems black may have made a poor choice, resulting in the mate.
Difficult!

These are incredibly difficult. They are designed rather than taken from actual games. I have a collection of mate in 4 that I can relatively easily solve and I am stumped by these. So, once I get used tu them I'm sure they'll provide a lot. Right now it's mostly frustrating. So if you feel similarly, I suggest Chess King's Mate in 3-4 and Chess Tactics Art (1400-1600) and (1600-1800). You'll like all three. Then maybe later I can solve these... C
Very Nice

My spouse and I have competitions with each other and it's really enjoyable. The features in the app are great.
