Really enjoying the app but I was wondering what engine is analyzing the game?

Easy to use, and can do a space repetition traning , with move trainer, sometimes the app gets stuck in move trainer mode forcing to close the app and start again, annoying.

The content on this is every bit as good as chessable. I am currently working on my first purchase, "is this move safe". An excellent book. The problem is the software is difficult to use and very inefficient. For example, I always want to be in quiz mode, where the solutions are not shown. Sometimes for no reason, I am put into read mode, where the answers are shown. The only way to fix that is to scroll all the way up to the top of the course, which is already a fair distance, even though I'm still in chapter 1, press the quiz mode button, and then scroll all the way down to find where I was. I tried every other button, all of which are very unintuitive in my opinion as a former software developer, and there is no other way to do this. Also, when I reopen the software, it usually loses where I left off, and I have to go hunt for it. I would call chessable professional software, and this relatively amateurish.

This is the best app for learning chess and reading chess books as if you were reading them traditionally with a chessboard in front of you. It also offers the option to play any position against the chess engine and navigate between the moves of the game effortlessly, making it the ideal choice for any user to own the book as it is and be able to read it as if you were in front of a real board. Thank you, Forward Chess. I hope you continue moving forward. I should mention that I use all chess programs available online, from Chessbase to Chessable, but this program is different. For instance, on Chessable, you cannot play the position against the computer, and you’re limited to the correct move only.”

The app does exactly what it is meant to do: it lets you read chess books without moving the pieces yourself. This way the books consume less time and one may read them as a novel if one desires to do so. There are a few competitors on the market but this app simply has the best design. The only technical problem I’ve encountered is that there are less books in the app than on the website. I don’t know if it is a bug or not but you can simply add them on the website and then they will appear in the app.

This app just worked for years but now asks for log in and does not recognise my email. Am unable to access my library of purchases!

Probably the best chess app I have used in years. It allows you to go over books digitally if you do not have the GM vision many of us are lacking. Going through variations is a lot easier. So far I have not had any issues with any books. Strongly recommend as the book options are always growing.
