This app is great in the specific domain for which it was intended. That is, as a chess database repertoire. You can't play versus the engine that comes with it. The nice thing with this app is that it can replay an entire game, and finds nice winning moves and auto-annotates. While this feature can be done with other apps (find winning moves in a position), but then you will have to one-by-one let the engine find it per position. Whereas in this app it replays the entire game and finds the lines for you. I will rank this app 5 stars if: 1) It accepts other engines (I have komodo9) 2) I can edit the time allocation for move analyses. Currently, it is max to 3000ms. I like to edit, say 10 seconds to have deep results. The app has greate file management system.

Excellent Database App! Being able to have all your games or repertoire games held locally is a great advantage. I like being able to download the latest games from TWIC too. The developer is very responsive to your emails. Recommended.

Dud Does not open databases on Huawei Ascend mate 2. Will change review when fixed. No replies from help as of this day of review. Update new version seems to be working will update when database finishes downloading.

Downloaded this app with the sole purpose of using the meg abase included. Was able to download meg abase, but there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to open it. Tapping the database after it finally extracted, I am endlessly stuck on a screen that says : "Create database index: 0%" and never seems to make any progress after about an hour of waiting. Attempted to try to find some support via the app itself and on the website but none provided. The "Help" file gave 0 instructions for using the meg abase. Could easily be user error, but I wasn't able to figure it out on my own and there really aren't any instructions; therefore giving up and looking for another app. I guess I shouldn't have expected much for only 5 bucks.
