It's a decent app but I feel like you'd be better off using lichess's learn feature (which is currently unfortunately web-exclusive). This might be more interesting for children to learn chess in a more game-ified manner. Not sure if I like it more than chessbade's Fritz & Fertig though, which is the game I learned chess from as a child.

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

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 really really like this app and wanted to upgrade to Premium. However, I kept getting an error message saying they couldn't contact the store. Email to customer support was not responded to so looks like this might be a dead app which is really unfortunate.

Great app for learning chess. Has high quality lessons. My only complaint is that it is buggy. Some puzzles have more than one solution but if you play the move not programmed into the solution it is marked as failed. This also happens in mate in 1 puzzles. Because of this you will not always score three stars. Sometimes the entire board gets randomly filled with pieces if you accidentally try to make a move without first identifying the motif first.

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.

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

I subscribed for the trial and I could never access the premium features. I reached out to customer service and never got a response after weeks or waiting. The app is not being actively managed. Look it up o line. So, I deleted the app and download another one.

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.

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 good with interface and explanation of the game, but the only problem I faced was when I tried to play the stage where you have Carlsen as an opponent, the chess board doesn't even appear maybe the resources couldn't load or something but it was really problematic, please solve this issue.
