    I love this app! I've learned to play better in the month I've been playing. The free version is excellent and I hope to get the full version soon.
  • It’s good but some of the lessons are flawed

    I enjoy the app. It’s fun, and it’s rich with features, but some of the lessons where Dr. Wolf critiques your “mistakes” are wrong. I’ve had two instances in the past 24 hours where it’s telling me I made the wrong move, but if I done what he suggested, I would be checkmated immediately. I’m not a chess master by any means. I’m a beginner, but I’ve screenshotted it and sent it to an advanced player and he agreed that had I took Dr Wolf’s advice I would be checkmated and lost the match.
  • It’s great, but gets real boring without subsription

    I love chess and usually am down for a game and training anytime of day. But, it soon gets tedious when I want to get better but i can’t have coaching. I suggest Chess.com for anyone who likes the social part of chess and coaching and challenges.
  • Good app with some standout problems

    The teaching method is solid for the most part but too often I’m told something is a better move without any explanation at all. Instead of being helpful, it’s just frustrating.
  • Good but with some issues

    The program is basically good but it has some issues relating to the lessons and training. The lessons cover a lot of good material but are sometimes shallow and sometimes confusing. There's a fair amount of "what" but not enough "why". Also, in training, I encountered some glaring oversights, like encouraging a particular move while ignoring that a different move would block a checkmate that was one or two moves away. Lastly, the subscription was a reasonable amount for the first year when the lessons were needed, but less so after that.
  • Highly Recommend!

    I absolutely love this app and use it every single day. It really keeps me engaged in daily practice. I even pay for the subscription and find it well worth the small monthly price for all the added features. Thanks Dr. Wolf!
  • Needs conversational ai.

    Great way to teach and practice core concepts. Yet too often the coach will recommend a move but it’s not clear why it’s the right move. And there is no one to ask. It seems like it wouldn’t be hard to add this or a similar feature to improve explainability and understanding.

    Patient teacher, which I really need. After you’ve listened to him for a while you do realize he needs a wider variety of phrases. Overall, I recommend.
  • Love this
