    Thanks for making this app! I saw someone review it on YouTube and decided to give it a try and confirmed it’s headed in the right direction. I learned that my game as white is really good (65% wins) but I consistently get destroyed as black (35-40% wins). so I’ve been training regularly with this app to improve my performance as black. My favorite thing right now is the opening trainer: the one where you have to play 10 moves from a given starting position and maintain / gain an advantage. It’s giving me a lot of attacking / defending ideas and showing me certain moves I play on impulse that actually worsen my game. After maybe 2 weeks, I’m already starting to feel the difference in a good way. That said, I think the app still needs work: adding polish to the UI / UX, working on the analysis tool (can you think of efficient strategies to make analysis more engaging and conversational?), and maybe just reorganizing all the cool training tools you’ve built so everything’s easier to find. Something I don’t find as useful is the chess feed. It was interesting on the first day, but then I never opened it again (and that’s fine — there’s so much value in other parts of the app imo). I use the app as an affordable, well-rounded chess coach, so the feed doesn’t seem that impactful to me. Also, 2 random training tool suggestions: guess the ELO and guess the advantage. This would be an interesting way to sharpen my ability to figure out who’s winning based on any position. Oh! And a suggestion for improving tactics: force people to commit the entire sequence before showing if they’re right or wrong. Sometimes I don’t actually know the answer… I just figure it out move by move, which is not good for my long sequence calculation ability. At least making this a “mode” would be super handy to force me to see things before I actually make a single move. So yeah, excellent app, I really appreciate it after using it for a few weeks now! It was a little overwhelming for me at the beginning because of all the stuff I now had at my fingertips (UX improvements and progressive disclosure will take you far!) but now I’m really seeing the vision. I hope you keep working on this and actually consider this feedback for improvement. Cheers, and good luck with AimChess! Well wishes, - Ozzy

    I have lost premium access after purchasing through Apple. The app keeps asking me to sign in with a different account and when I try to resubscribe it says I’m already subscribed and need to log in with that account. This app is confused. Please help.

    This start of December, I downloaded Aimchess. As I heard it could help out a ton. And those people were right. Great membership deal Personalized training Game reviews and analysis It is helpful that I went from being stuck at 1700, all the way to about 1900 OTB. As I’m writing this right now, I currently have 10 win streak on chess.com!(December 19, 2024) Thank you so much Aimchess for helping me explore my opportunities for chess. -Teacher of a intermediate chess class
  • Bottom line you will get better at chess

    This app will make you better at chess! I’m definitely seeing the board better. Updated to 5 stars! Sensei is pretty cool. Daily plan I wish there was a countdown or list of exercises with progress bar. As a newb failing the same two exercises and not knowing where I’m at in the list of exercises is frustrating . This is minor thing. Daily challenges. Wish there were more daily challenges. Playground wish there was a hint limiter. Like I only want x number of hints.
  • This app used to work great, but now fails on a regular basis

    You can’t subscribe to the premium features, you can get charged for it. You just can’t use them. Stick to the free features and you will have a much more pleasant experience.
  • Unending Fraudulent Billing Long After You Cancel Membership

    By GothamReviewer
    Aimchess will continue to bill you/access your AppleWallet long after you’ve cancelled your premium trial membership and they no longer have the authority to do so. Furthermore, customer service support is A PIPE DREAM. Want to resolve their FRAUDULENT billing via chess.com support pages? Welcome to the abyss. Aimchess is a Consumer Fraud Action Lawsuit in the Making. Stay away unless you have money & time to burn.
  • Many of the “solutions” are incorrect

    By Mac Logos
    When you choose the right answer, it marks it wrong. It wouldn’t be so bad if the app at least gave an explanation saying WHY it thinks it’s wrong but it doesn’t do that. It just says you’re wrong. I wouldn’t rely on this app to learn chess, it’s too easy to develop a misunderstanding of the game this way
  • App down for weeks

    App has been down for weeks. No communication with subscribers regarding when it will be up and running. Nothing. Very disappointed in the customer service of this organization.

  • Not great

    UI/UX is not great. A lot of the daily training plan takes a lot of time and doesn’t help me learn. All of my statistics fluctuate and don’t seem to mean much. The idea of this app is amazing, but it didn’t deliver.
