I've been using the app a while, and it's good. Does what it says. You can learn to play chess, play against bots and other people to improve your skills, puzzles, all that jazz. My one real gripe is how they changed the game review screen. I don't know if it's still there and I just can't find it, but I liked being able to go through move by move the way it was before the update. Now when you do it it just rushes through and only shows you like 3 moves at most with a random coach head up top.

Thank you for this detailed review. We're still making updates to the new Game Review interface and closely following members' feedback on this. Using the Next button in your Game Review, you can skip to the key moments and correct errors. Tap on the magnifying glass at the top right to review your game move-by-move with move feedback. :)

I've been using the app for years and it's pretty good. However, they recently changed the puzzles so that there is a face and big speech bubble at the top of every puzzle. It's extremely distracting and I hate it. Puzzles were much, much better without this vapid, pointless"feature". Edit: I have learned you can disable this feature by going to settings --> coach. This was my main complaint so I'll change my review back to 5 stars.

Thank you for this feedback on the new Puzzles Coach, we appreciate it! We're still working to optimize this feature, and we understand if you prefer to solve Puzzles without the Coach's input. Stick around for more updates to come! :)

Any features you'd use to improve (analysis, puzzles, coaching) are locked behind an egregiously priced subscription service. If you choose to play for free instead, you will be BOMBARDED with ads to subscribe. I just opened my app and got a full screen pop-up ad for their paid service. I closed it out and immediately got a second ad for it at the top of my main menu. It's one thing to have paid features, but this amount of ads is inappropriate... I've never had to leave a review before

Hello! We will always keep games free for all members, and basic members can still access training tools in a limited capacity. We offer a free 7-day trial as well as three different membership levels at both monthly and annual rates, so there's something for everyone! :)

Hey, chess-lovers! This new version brings improvements and fixes throughout the app - and some great new features too!

* Level up your Puzzle practice by earning points for every correct move. Keep solving to advance and earn new scoring bonuses!
* Game Review now estimates your rating in that match - and shows how well you played at each stage of the game!
* In Daily Chess, you can now "program" moves to be triggered automatically when your opponent makes a move you expected!

Thank you!
