bgolsh,
Highly underrated chess app
I have to say — this is the first chess app I’m writing a review for, and I’ll explain why. This is one of the few chess apps that not only shows openings and tactics, but also lays out main lines and variations for you. The format makes it a lot easier to learn than other apps, even more subscribed apps. Don’t overlook this one. I’m subbed to about four different apps, including Chessable, magnus trainer, and Aimchess, and this one is right up there with those other three. It has features that none of the others have. I chose to review this one because I was impressed; the others are good too but this one is low key really good too.

Unbelievable, Above & Beyond Support
After subscribing to this app for a year to learn how to play chess, I had issues trying to cancel the auto renewal. I emailed Support and Peter and I exchanged several emails where he took the time and effort to solve my problem. He was actually working to reduce his subscriber count and app revenue! That made such an impression on me that I’ve decided to renew my subscription for another year! Thanks Peter! Best wishes for your continued success!
brmortensen,
Great, but…
I like this app very much. I play it every day. My one complaint is there is a display bug of some sort. Don’t know if it’s the app or my phone.
Most tactics start with your opponent’s move, the piece moving from the starting square highlighted in white with the animated piece sliding to the ending square. Very nice! But not every tactic does that. It is extremely frustrating when it doesn’t and the first move of the solution is to take a pawn I didn’t realize had just moved en passant. There’s zero chance I’d miss it over the board, but I’ve lost a lot of points because of this. (To be fair, I’ve lost more points from playing too fast - but still.)
If not for that, I’d give it all the stars.

lightspeedC3,
I can play chess now!!
This app is amazing!
I am trying to teach myself how to play chess and all the other apps that I looked at were either really expensive or really bad. This app is helping become a better chess player just playing one or two of the tactics a day has helped me advance my chess game quickly. I seriously cant believe it’s free! for the quality that it is it’s an astoundingly good deal.

Very Good Puzzles App
This is a very good source for puzzles on line. The best that I have found — there seem to be a minimum of cooked puzzles (perhaps one in fifteen, or one in twenty), and duplications over time are not significant.
My one complaint is that they do not follow the board orientation convention for diagrams, where the board is always shown from White’s point of view. I realize this is not a study (although, happily, they do include some studies from time to time), and I appreciate that they display “Black to Move”, but after 50 years of reading chess diagrams one way, it is very hard, and distracting, to keep reminding oneself to remember which side of the board is up.
I can recall only one chess book (I believe by Rowson) on my shelves that has this error. He is a brilliant and entertaining author, but this was an innovation not worth repeating.
Thank you and best regards,

Tried then bought
This is one of the few apps I’ve actually bought after I tried the free version. The tactics are very high quality. My only complaint is that I wish there were a GM or IM to look over some of the studies & articles people post. Some of the “lessons”, posted by other members are pure garbage. It’s still a great app, though. Would definitely recommend.

Best Chess Training App
The tactics are a very practical and enjoyable way to hone your chess skills. They are “mental gymnastics” which will give you confidence in your games, and valuable experience. I will sign up to get the Pro version so I can have a quick guide to openings, without which - you won’t get to a middle game to use the tactics you learn! (-;

Brilliant and Comprehensive
I’ve sampled many chess apps but this app offers the broadest range of chess learning tools I’ve come across including very well explained classic games and challenging tactic quizzes.
I also got very responsive customer service from a developer when I had a minor installation problem.
Definitely worth worth a try!

A Well-written and Scalable App
I really enjoyed using this app; it feels like there’s always another level waiting for me. I mostly probably will upgrade it to Pro. We’ll see.

Improvement
As a beginnerI can see how Chess Tactics can improve my game, but after I’ve tried all my moves that don’t work, it ask’s if I want to give up? I say yes expecting it to tell me the correct move I should have made, and it just says “incorrect.”. How do you learn from that? Please supply the correct move, and the benefit or reason for it. With that I would get the pro version.
