Great lessons. Please keep adding more games and lessons. This app really helped my get better at chess. The lessons are really instructive.
★★☆☆☆Wesley Dietz· May 13, 2023
Good training. But not really free. If you don't pay, it makes you wait a long time between lessons before you can move on.
★☆☆☆☆Gabo· Nov 30, 2025
Are you guys going to keep support of the app? It's an amazing app, but it's filled with bugs. I want to pay the subscription but not if the app feels abandoned.
★☆☆☆☆Martin Medina· Jul 2, 2023
Not able to access the majority of the features unless with a paid subscription. Not enough content is consistently being added to justify a subscription model. Should offer a one time payment
★☆☆☆☆Sainath Manivannan· Feb 7, 2026
This is the worst app I think because the magnus tells shall we play a game, but he doesn't play please fix this bug then the game will be superb.
★★☆☆☆Rishi Patwardhan· Feb 7, 2023
It's ok, but the fact you have to pay for session 2 is unbelievable. I would understand paying for session 30+ but from session 2 is just terrible. If it was free for longer then I would rate it 3 or 4, but I have given it a 2.
