Ratings and Reviews
Not the whole
I would have given more than 3 stars, but I downloaded a book I paid for :
Dvortesky's "Endgame Manual" and found that not all the book was downloaded. Ch1 Part 1 is missing.
If I pay more than $20 for a whole book I expect to receive the whole book that not with parts of book missing!
I think most people would agree.
This has turned me off buying any more of the books they offer. If I pay for a whole book I expect to receive the whole book.
Useful but a few bad bugs. Where’s aerosol?
It’s a great way to read a chess book and several publishers now have similar apps.
The reading experience of the text is not great here compared to a Kindle as formatting is lost, text is bunched up, you can’t highlight text or bookmark your place. Apparently you can add notes.
But the worst aspect of this app is it is just buggy when you come and go from the app and, sometimes, even just as you are scrolling through the text. It tends to leap around for no apparent reason and you loose your place in the text. Then relocating your position is just a hassle.
The pop-up chessboard would be a lot more intuitive with a Hide button rather than a double tap of the text for only the cognoscenti to remove the board.
The Book Store is an odd shambles with books appearing either grouped under publishers or as a giant, unordered list. Apparently they imagine readers wander into bookstores thinking, “Yes I was definitely in the mood for something by Mongoose Press, but my mood has changed and I’m fairly sure something by an an Independent will go better with my red wine.” Rather odd. Mostly you might expect ordering by topics or the skill level of the reader, Beginners’ Tactics, etc.
Has potential but fix the bugs!
When opening the app I expect to continue from where i stopped from last session but instead I am taken back to the start of the chapter! This is so annoying. Please fix asap!
