Great App but one disappointment that should be solved
sandglider238
Everything about it is perfect except one problem...On to the good things:-Not only is the latest version of Stockfish (right now SF 11) included, but it is on CLOUD which means it will be stronger than analysis ran on your phone! This is a dream come true-Live stream function allows you to browse games of current tournaments which is another dream come true for a serious chess player.-Database is great to have on an app in a first place and I'm pretty sure it is regularly updated! This is also great-Can save PGNs and store a sort of database-A lot of people like the fact that you can take a picture of a 2D chess board and run it there, which is really nice to have, although it serves no purpose for me psrsonally. I would imagine it is very useful if you have a hard example from a book you want to take a picture of. For most exercises though I just solve in my head, and for running through full on games the picture taking doesnt help that in any way, so I don't really know how to make use of the camera function. But again, a lot of people seem to like itMaybe there are some other features I am missing, but the fact that it has a cloud stored chess engine is more than I could ask for. This and the livestream function are the best features in my personal opinion!Now on to the disappointment:-Cannot write comments on moves. Why? This app is so good otherwise but you cannot write comments on any of your moves!? The point of analyzing games is to write notes to yourself! This is an essential element and I think the app developer should make it possible. In an app called "Analyze This" (which is also pretty nice) you can write comments as well as symbols with sidelines/variations and save it all. I wish this app could do that.I strongly recommend this app to anybody, the live stream function is just so great. It is really good to watch ongoing high level games and this app seems to monitor pretty much all the ones that exist to the public.

Hi, thank you so much for the detailed feedback. One useful feature you probably missed is the ability to search chess positions on YouTube and find related videos (bottom left button of the analysis mode). Hope you'll like it too. :)We are actually planning to implement the possibilities of adding sub-variations and comments in your analysis. So stay tuned!
Excellent app for chess players

I have been looking for an app for a while to scan paper puzzles. This app comes very close. When u scan it gets most of the positions correct except for some reason queen (color) and Bishop. Minor thing! Thanks for the app.Update: 11/7. Not sure what has changed. Now the scanning is totally off. Not off by one or two pieces but off by most of the pieces. Something got really messed up in updates. I have sent errors through app. ThanksUpdate 12/24: recognition is much better again. Thanks Future feature suggestion: after scanning a position if there is an option to play against computer. Basically we are reading a book (silman’s) and it gives challenging end games. We want to try out all the positions against computer. Thanks and happy holidays

Hi. Thank you so much for your feedback. You can report bad recognition using the top right button in Edit mode. This will help us to make scan feature even better.
When Scanning Photos
Stevethedrummer
First off this app is great so farI am able to organize Chess boards from a book i am studying.However,When I take photos of boards my photos show newest at the TopFor some reason when looking at my photos from this App it switched the order of just the boards.This is just the data entry phase very boring and cookie cutterIt’s amazing how wrong you can be when entering information for the wrong board.It’s actually making my head spinJust letting you know this happened Again this app looks like exactly what I am looking for to organize my study of this bookKeep you updated on how it goes

Time saver

I read a lot of chess books and spend too much time setting up all the positions they are going over. I got this app so I can take a picture of the board in the book, and play out the position easily without spending time on setup. This app is perfect for that and seems to do other stuff too .
