Crashes pretty often. Some of the puzzle solutions are incorrect or incomplete, for example I just played a discovered attack puzzle where it wanted me to make a move to take the queen, but playing to another square was a discovered double attack on the king for mate. Another example, I just played a motif where both choices were part of the solution! It was a backrank mate, made possible by a discovered attack! Also too much of the content is pay walled. I'd recommend LiChess instead.

This app is phenomenal for improving at chess for the beginner!! I love it. I can't say I have ever seen a better chess tutor in a phone app or could have imagined one. It's awesome it's like taking an online chess class at a university. It teaches tactics, openings, strategies everything. I love it!!!

This is a fine app with some very interesting takes on training. When the app for Android was new, it was VERY battery hungry. This fault seems to have been corrected since then. The only big problem I have with it now is that there is no way (in Android, anyhow) to rotate the board. I understand the importance of being able to see your opponent's resources from your own side of the board, but this still seems a very considerable flaw.
