Tactics Frenzy – Chess Puzzles

The UI/UX is very good. Little subtle details that make this app stand out. Unfortunately I’m not able to go back moves after completing a puzzle. The puzzles are very unique and interesting. Sometimes frustrating also but I’m enjoying this app very much.

Really good app

I don’t like the update that takes you to a website and makes you click through a bunch of crap before you can just practice.

Thank you for adding a subscription that includes everything. I have a lifetime of Magnus Trainer app. Is there any way to upgrade that to include these other two?

For over 1 month this app has been unusable as various pieces are not visible. I reported this malfunction but it still has not been repaired. All that seems to happen is my account get charged and the service is not provided.

This is the greatest chess tactical frenzy app of all time. Runs smooth with clean and modern style. I was uncomfortable with the pieces but they quickly grew on me. Once in a very great while it will lag it freeze, but nothing is perfect and it is hard for developers to polish a phone game to perfection. I would recommend this to any player looking to sharpen their skills.

UPDATE (four months later): High score feature still does not work (or only works intermittently). I am a paying subscriber, and my new high scores only register once every ten-fifteen times or so (at best). Quite annoying, as this does seem eminently fixable. App merits cited in review below still stand. One further observation: The puzzle library is vast. I have played this game quite a bit, and am not bothered by undue repetitions. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This app is probably the best way for club players to improve their tactical vision. That being said, the app is riddled with some annoying bugs, notably in registering monthly high scores. I have repeatedly (or, rather, consistently) had the experience of setting a (near) top score, only to have it fail to appear (both on my own top monthly score tab and on the common top score list). In terms of usability from a chess perspective, this is no big deal, but in terms of the app as a competitive game, it is rather more serious. That being said, the app is a great training tool and immensely more time-efficient than relying on combination books.

Other Magnus apps are great. Paid for a year and have to remove and reload app after a couple of days. The field to enter the password doesn’t show up now so I can’t login or use the app at all even after deleting, rebooting my phone, and reinstalling the app. Hope they can fix the issue because I really like the puzzles.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, still simply won’t load up (first time experiencing this issue). Also, recently my hi-scores haven’t been counting! Currently subscribed as well, so not sure why that’s the case :( ^ With these issues aside, the app is incredible for training tactics, and the puzzles are super enjoyable to solve! The competitive side of it is fun, you win prizes if you place top 3 in one of the categories (Joker, Easy, Medium, Hard). When the app loads up and the hi-scores count, this is a 5* fun, competitive training tool.

The puzzles are great, and it’s addictive to play. But for some reason the high score feature doesn’t work. I’ve exceeded the mark that it lists as my personal high score at least 20 times this month (it is kept by month), and it never updates. The app also just stops opening at all about once a week, and I end up deleting it and re-downloading it. I have the paid subscription version too. Great idea, and I love the competitive aspect of it, but I wish they’d address these things. I emailed support directly and never heard back.
