With the recent update, the grind to get tokens without spending money has become much more manageable. I get that they are a business and need to make money, and I'm glad I don't have to deal with a bunch of ads. I let my kids play, so I only have to worry about training them in one area of "don't click here" They also fixed the bug to get to easy lesson 7 During freeplay, the freezing when you get him in checkmate isn't that common for me. The gradual increase in difficulty is nice.

The app is great. The exercises, explanations are top notch. Buuuuut in the end, the token system is very aggressive and the app's full price is extremely high. The greed needs to be tuned down a bit. Reduce the grind, be more generous with unlocks, make more things free, improve packs and we'll feel we're not overpaying.

Capturing a defender-overloading lesson, interference, pinning, forking, double check. These are all valuable lessons that get you to think about how the game works in the long term, very good. But getting coins for them is very hard to do. What is missing : capture sequences (chains)

The game overall is amazing, the only thing is that there is a bug where I can't unlock more lessons in the game. I have coins but it won't unlock the lessons. I can unlock characters to play against but that's it. Hope it gets fixed.

About 3 months ago I started a monthly subscription, and two months later I moved to a yearly subscribtion. But two days ago I noticed that the app didn't cancel my previous subscription an the I was paying both the monthly and the yearly, then I stopped both of them because I didn't want to pay for untrusted app. The yearly subscription was supposed to end in February 2024 but now the app doesn't give me access to the premium content that I've paid for 😕 👎👎👎

I have made the annual subscription payment, but it does not seem to be reflected in the app. As a result, I am unable to access the premium content. It is unfortunate that the app sold the premium content without providing access to it. I kindly request assistance in resolving this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Super cool app! Loved is so much I tried to upgrade to premium but it errors out. None of the premium content comes available even after trying to purchase. I'm literally trying to give them money, but not able. I just want to get better at chess and this was a fun way to do it. Unfortunately, until their premium subscription is working, I would not download this app.

Despite its recent release, this chess application is undeniably one of the most overlooked and undervalued in its class. The instructional content is engaging and the practice exercises are both useful and beneficial. The app offers a variety of categorization options that allow users to identify and address specific areas for improvement with ease. Additionally, the app is gratuitous and provides access to all features without any intrusive advertisements. I highly recommend for any learner.

I'm stuck on the loading screen. Trying to sign up for the app, and I'm not getting any feedback when I tap the sign up button after giving my sign up details. Edit: Been able to log in using my old details, though the sign up issue still remains. Now, the new issue is with subscription. I subbed to a monthly plan, but for some reason, it hasn't reflected in the app yet. It still thinks I haven't, and as such, the premium lessons are still locked for me

Bought premium feature on monthly plan and transaction is made and amount deducted from my bank balance but still my access is blocked and I am not able to use the features. Edit:They actually worked pretty fast on it after talking with them on email and resolved the issue

I am having a realy good time with this app (bought monthly subscription). Love the style of writing and the material that has been chosen. Keeps me engaged and creates feeling of progression. App is riddled with bugs though and live oponents usually use engines, so I'm very much looking forward to future updates. Hopefully very near future! ;) Edit: Canceled subscription until bugs and stability issues are resolved.
