Description

Are you struggling to find a chess app for iPhone and iPad that allows you to play a chess game and comment on your moves? Look no further, iAnnotate Chess can do the job!

In iAnnotate Chess, users can play out their game on the chess board, while the moves appear in a text editor. Once making their move, the user can type their comment in a comment box, and add it to their chess annotation file.

iAnnotate Chess incorporates a very useful tool: AutoSave. After each move and every change to the game text, iAnnotate Chess automatically saves the user's game. If the user was to accidentally quit iAnnotate Chess, their game and comments would still be there.

Also, iAnnotate Chess makes sure that each and every move is legal, and tells where checks and checkmates* are made. If the user happens to make a wrong move, they can always undo or redo their move.

One more very powerful feature included with iAnnotate Chess is AutoPlay. AutoPlay allows the user to see a brief replay of their game. This replay is short, lasting only a few minutes, but allows the user to get a glimpse of their game.

Once the user has finished their game, they can also save the moves and comments in a text file locally on their iPad or iPhone. They can share the text file through Mail, Messages, and AirDrop to their friends, coaches, and teachers. Users can also print their games.

I hope you enjoy iAnnotate Chess. Please give comments and suggestions, as this will make iAnnotate Chess a better tool for chess players all around the world.

*Please Note: The Check and Checkmate Features are currently under development, and they will be released in an update soon.

Good Hit

Just downloaded the app and annotated two games but I am happy with it. It’s easy to use and I can keep record of my games. Great!

Simple and effective

It is not pretty app but it doesn’t have to be. It is simple and works.

Two issues though I noticed: I chose auto play with no game annotated; the app froze. So maybe just disable that option if the annotation sheet is blank.

The second issue is when trying to save the game. I think it’s because of the date format … I used “/“ as a delimiter; as a result got a message saying file name cannot have special characters. I would suggest, add another field for the actual file name. Or may e just reformat the date to remove special characters.

As an improvement to the app, I’d like to see the actual sheet with two columns - White and Black; I don’t think many would bother making comments for the actual moves. Any serious player would do that in chess.com or lichess.

Another improvement is to include an option to revert the board.

Keep up the good work.
