This app has a lot of potential. I love that you begin by assessing your strength so you can skip basics and fundamentals if you already know them. However, the app falls far short of being worth downloading because 95%+ of the lessons are not available without paying for a membership. I was surprised at how few lessons I could actually complete. The two (yes, TWO) lessons I could complete were great, but the rest are locked. Uninstalled.

Pretty good app so far. I wish there was a way to analyze positions from lessons or puzzles with a engine. I try to look up games mentioned so i can go back through to try to reenforce what I've learned. Also if we pick a wrong move in the exercises, see a quick reply to our bad move might help us. I wish I could stick to one board style and piece font; the different colors, overlays make it difficult to see the board. Lastly, when it's black to move, I'd prefer ro see the board from Blacks pov.

Crashes pretty often. Some of the puzzle solutions are incorrect or incomplete, for example I just played a discovered attack puzzle where it wanted me to make a move to take the queen, but playing to another square was a discovered double attack on the king for mate. Another example, I just played a motif where both choices were part of the solution! It was a backrank mate, made possible by a discovered attack! Also too much of the content is pay walled. I'd recommend LiChess instead.

I really appreciate how this app tries to teach you moves and how to play. But i think it's seriously frustrating that the challenges are timed. I constantly fail because I don't have time to analyze the pieces and positions to determine where to move what in the amount of time. I didn't sign up for speed chess. I want to learn first. Please make it optional for it to be timed.

Useless for free, expensive if you pay. If the level has any strategy info it is good. Half the levels you just play the same basic chess training exercises, land the plane, one more checkmate, move this one piece to circle. I assume the members only has equally good strategy but it is expensive. $285 for a lifetime membership!!! =-O Or a subscription. I would pay a onetime $10 for it and nothing more, just because it is aesthetically pleasing. There are many other free ways to learn strategy.

Great app, a lot very insightful ideas collected together. I was able to reach my top lichess rating from 2 years ago and exceed it by 50 points (about 1800 now) after doing one lesson every day. It does not go into great detail but it gives an overview of many openings, strategies and tactics. Exactly what is needed for an intermediate player like me. I found the free version pretty limited though, so I bought the subscription.
