Ratings and Reviews
Very clever app
Love this app. The books are expensive, so I only select the best I can find for use with the app; but for those, being able to read and follow along the moves when I do not have a physical board, it’s just brilliant.
Buggy
It’s a nice app but there are … issues. Some of my purchases resist being filed into libraries (they just stay listed under ‘Books’ on the main page) and if I do try and drag them into a library, the app just crashes. It’s not clear why some books are like this but most are not (it may be the age of the individual purchases?). But it’s frustrating and it feels messy to have (eg) some games collections filed under ‘Games’ but others just sitting in the main menu. The app also freezes and closes suddenly on occasions. And the analysis engine sometimes doesn’t seem to recognise the possibility of castling more than one or two ply out. All in all, great when it works, but I always approach it with a degree of trepidation.
Best chess reader
Allows engine analysis of positions and the ability to check what happens if you play something else. Also you can switch the move controls to the side of the screen you prefer. Could do with some tidying up of the analysis, bookmarks and so on. But as it stands it’s the best I’ve found, which is good because you can get books from other publishers on it. Store isn’t exactly cheap though.
