Best chess database for iPhone.

Chessbook on

Best chess database!

Powerful!

Mr Walker-for Ghost Who Walks on

United States

This is a powerful chess database, analysis, training, and online play tool. The developer is constantly improving it. He responded to a feature request I sent him and soon that feature was included. Buy it now!

How to autoplay the game pgn?

Powerful (BADLY needs dark mode)

Lost in Tactics on

United States

Dear Dev.. Add dark mode, this copy & paste code is part of your Apple SDK that comes with your yearly payment into the program. (But you know this) Why haven’t you added? It’s a simple add on. What about 3-4 hours of your time? Everybody else.. This is real good if you want to practice what you’ve learned from your study sources. On my iPad mini 6th gen.. my triple threat, chess needs are satisfied (study, test, play) • Chessable to study and learn (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) • Chess Studio (THIS APP) try out moves w/ stockfish input • Chess.com iOS app put every thing I learned to the test vs. humans

One of a kind must have chess app!

_NM_ on

United States

The description says, “For serious chess players,” and another review states “If you get one chess app, make it this one.” Both are true. Other chess apps have lots of eye candy. However, when it comes to what it takes to manage your repertoire, analyze your games, and other important functions you would expect from a chess app for anyone who is half-way serious about their games, then _nothing_ on the App Store comes even close to Chess Studio: Manage your PGN databases, analyze, create opening tables, download from TWIC and PGN Mentor, … Yes, it has its interface idiosyncrasies and its own way of doing things but one will easily get used to it and understand the rationale behind its presentation. I especially like how the analysis (now using Stockfish 16) shows immediate graphic feedback with labeled arrows with different transparent colors akin to Nibbler/Lc0. This is a fantastic app for importing games played on either iPad or iPhone and analyzing them. Easily move PGN databases between iCloud, DropBox and local storage. Create opening books from your games on mobile? Unheard of, but this app does it! The more I use it, the better it feels. I cannot thank the author enough for such a useful and functional chess app!

Can’t give enough stars

Aaron Puetz on

United States

The best app to improve at chess by a mile. So many features only in this app and the developer is clearly listening to feedback and adding even more features. It’s a crime this app isn’t more well known.

Horrible application

Sergey Arushanov on

United States

After update iPhone 13 , chess application doesn’t work. People don’t waste money.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for

Me1689 on

United States

This is basically chessbase for your phone. App is incredible. It’s packed full of features, and makes studying game collections a breeze. I really like how it’s got the opening book built right into it, and breaks each database you create/add down by eco code. This app is worth way more than the $3 they are charging for it. By the way, did I mention it also has the latest version of Stockfish. Split boards for studying variations. The list goes on and on. Just pay that man his money

Excellent chess app

360chessguy on

United States

Chess Studio is an excellent app as others have stated. The developer is constantly updating and refining the app. I highly recommend it.
