Chessimo - Improve Your Chess

Works better than chess.com tactics trainer, only 4 stars though due to it asking me to rate the app every ten minutes.

I like the idea of this app however even after the update it still does not save my progress

My progress has been lost and the latest update doesn't seem to fix the problem. Tried to reset all modules and start from scratch, saving progress still not working properly. Even tried to uninstall and installed it back. No green checks on modules you have finished like what the previous version had. But this is one of my favorite chess training app on ios so I will still give it a 4 star. Hopefully those bugs on the training progress will be finally fix next update. Looking forward to it.

Starting off at the default for Check with Sergio the ELO is supposed to be 850. I’m not a strong player (around 1500-1600) but I crush an 850. Sergio 850 looks more like a 1200-1300. Just my opinion.

Great app! Improved my chest a lot with it. Thanks!

Seems abandoned. Requires constant internet to verify license so it’s a no go on plane flights. Excellent idea but garbage implementation and no support or updates. Just a quick cash grab

The app game database doesn't work! Engine has a big problem! You don't answer emails!

I have been a fan of this puzzle set since it was called Personal Chess Trainer 2007. The puzzle set is amazing and the speed at which you can practice a large set of tactics is unmatched. It’s too bad the app is a bit buggy. Chessimo v1 was really good, but didn’t look as sharp as this version. V1 also does not work well in iOS 16 and thus I was forced to upgrade. I had to pay $15 again to continue practicing the puzzle set on my new devices, which would be reasonable if the new app were less buggy. This new version looks a lot better and has a cleaner interface, however the scrolling on the iPad, the inability to reset the puzzle set, and the lack of ability to synchronize with an account despite a login (that also doesn’t work) make it a touch frustrating at times. If these bugs would be worked out, this app would be the absolute best tactics app on the App Store. I still believe in Chessimo despite the issues and hope the app will continue to be supported into the future.

This app is ridden with bugs and less features compared to the original version. improve that one instead of revamping everything. In the training for openings you use to be able to play both sides … this version doesn’t allow this. Also, the openings are written in subtitles. For example, Slav defense, you give variants of the Slav defense. Please fix this in your new version.

Like others mentioned, the board scrolls vertically on iPad when trying to make a move. I tried contacting them via email, but my email bounces back. Dead app, should be removed.
