Description
Study chess on the go!
For beginners and masters alike, Chessable is THE tool to improve your chess game and make what you learn actually stick.
It combines instruction from the world’s best players and coaches with the science of spaced repetition to improve your chess over the long term.
Here’s what you get on the Chessable app:
HUNDREDS OF FREE CHESS COURSES:
Openings, endgames, tactics, strategy, you name it - Chessable has a course on it! And they’re taught to you by world-class instructors and players, including Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri, Judit Polgar, and more.
You can also purchase hundreds more courses which go into much more depth on the main Chessable site, and study them on the app.
A SCIENCE-BASED APPROACH:
Whether you’re learning an opening variation or theoretical endgame, Chessable’s MoveTrainer software will automatically quiz you when it's time to review the material, at longer and longer intervals. This spaced repetition is backed by science as one of the best ways to learn and remember. You’re never forgetting your openings again!
OFFLINE TRAINING:
Chessable PRO members don’t even need an Internet connection to train. Download course videos, train moves, and your progress will be synced with the server next time you’re connected. So whether you’re on the plane or far out into the countryside, you can improve your game.
CUSTOM SETTINGS:
Customize what you learn, how deeply you learn it, when you review it, and more. Collect XP on and badges to show on your profile. You’ve got the tools to optimize your study.

Ratings and Reviews
Dark mode arrived!
I’m a PRO member who used the web interface first and now the the app! I’m updating this review after dark mode was released yesterday. It looks very nice and I have upgraded my rating thanks to this feature. It would be worth another star if the app allowed more choice in which variations I could review. Unlike the web interface, there is no option to review all variations within a particular chapter - you have to review the whole book. As a result I still use the web interface except to check my stats. Please consider this in the next upgrade. Thanks Chessable team!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your updated review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy the new Dark Mode and that it has positively impacted your experience as a PRO member. We appreciate your suggestion for more options to review specific variations within chapters, and we’ll certainly pass this feedback along to our development team. Your input is invaluable in helping us improve the app. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We're here to help!
Auto lesson button broken
I enjoy using Chessable on my computer but this app is endlessly frustrating. I am unable to go from one lesson to the next without having to exit back to the chapter screen and scroll down to the next lesson manually every time. This is despite having the auto lesson function turned on. I have tried turning the auto lesson switch on and off again and even deleting the app to no avail - after I finish a lesson it only gives me the option to exit rather than continue. I looked online and found forum posts on chessable dating back several years with people citing the same issue and yet still nothing has been done to fix a seemingly simple yet crucial feature of the app. Pretty disappointing to say the least.
It seems to work for the ‘Learn next’ function for the entire course, but I don’t often use this because I like to learn multiple chapter simultaneously, and unlike on the desktop version there is no ‘learn next’ button for a specific chapter.
Would happily upgrade to 5 stars if this feature was rectified

Brilliant service, buggy app
Don’t get me wrong, I love Chessable. Over the years I have sunk hundreds into purchasing pro memberships, video courses, and random books. This app is also something I cried out for for years! And it is quite good.
Overall, it’s let down by bugs. MoveTrainer regularly wigs out with no possible move, requiring me to end and restart my training session.
Just now I was having a great training session and midway through I got booted back to the login screen.
It also is a little cut back in functionality. For example, if you want to use rubies to go “double or nothing” or enter a “streak protect”, you can’t manage this from the app and need to use a desktop. That’s fine - but it would be good to have some visual cues in the app to communicate this to users and prevent them clicking around and googling trying to find things that are not possible.
Annoyingly, I can’t manage notifications in the app… and I have badges showing that I can’t “clear” - requiring me to turn this off at the OS level.
Ideally, we’d have offline sync for this - to allow training while on domestic or long haul flights etc… but really all we need at this point is stability during a training session.

Thanks for the feedback. Offline mode is coming soon for MoveTrainer! For other issues, please write to hello@chessable.com and we'll happy to look into them for you.
