I’ve only just purchased this app a couple of days ago and I would say, for a person that’s only semi savvy on the computer, this app is not necessarily user friendly. I paid the $12.99 so I was surprised how busy the interface was and the use of the voice for the videos. It took me a few times to figure out where to even start. I say all this because I hope things can either be fixed or maybe, it’s just like the developers want it to be, in which case, I’ll move on to a more beginner friendly app. This app may be for the more advanced. That’s okay too. I did figure out how to slow down the computer voice so I could at least keep up with the info. My suggestion is that the interface should be broken down into digestible courses. As a beginner, I don’t even know the pieces or how they move. I don’t even want to discuss theory, as exciting as that sounds! Please take this review with the humility it was submitted. Thank you.
This is not the flashiest chess app but, for me, it’s the best! I’ve used chess.com, Magnus, Chessable, etc, and this one is the best. The learning techniques and puzzles are thoughtful and skill appropriate. Very happy with my purchase!
The user interface is harder than trying to learn chess
This is a great app with many training courses. The only three things I would like to change is to make those courses free, tell us how to do something before giving us the course, and add a basics course.
This is a great app for practicing tactics. There are many courses at very affordable cost. Make sure you do not subscribe from the App Store, but from their website so that your subscription works in the app and on their website.
So underrated. You can spend so much on chess books/courses (and I have) on a variety of websites. This is the best training tool I’ve ever come across and the courses are so cheap. My personal favorite course is Chess Endings for Beginners. 5 stars.
Chess King is an amazing comprehensive suite of chess learning software. From learning the game through master level, Chess King has it fully covered! Openings, tactics, strategy, blunders, end games, mating patterns, (etc.) and there’s a Chess King suite for that component of chess! Thousands of lessons, examples, and training tests! An unbelievable account of teaching materials! And, the quality of the materials is of the highest level! Chess King does NOT fill up lessons with weak examples! Chess King products have the highest quality lessons and the explanations are provided in comprehensive excellent English! I highly recommend Chess King for beginners, and club players through master level players who are looking to improve their chess performance! The absolute BEST chess learning product I own! Nothing else comes close in sheer volume, breath of scope AND the high quality of materials!
This app in addition to the website is amazing.. it’s provocative and challenging.. but, there’s plenty of room to improve it.. make it more flexible and user friendly.. upgrade the design it looks like from the 90’s the website needs lots of work also.. nevertheless I find myself visiting the app and the website more and more.. good luck and thank you
