Ratings and Reviews
Best chess app yet!
I love how the black and white UI makes everything so minimalist but also stylish. The caricatures look great too.
I love playing with the younger Magnus because it helps me strengthen and practice the skills I learn in Training app. I can be creative with my strategy and deploy my favorite tactics.
Through this app, I’ve learned that chess isn't just about winning, (don’t get me wrong it is important) but chess is all about the art of psychologically playing the game with your opponent. And most importantly, having fun.
The app really makes me feel like I am playing with Magnus. Especially with the effects of thinking and with the pieces suddenly moving quickly, reminding me that I have to rethink my strategy. 😂
Because of this app, I’ve learned the value of chess and now I feel confident in playing with my friends.
If I had one request it would be, the ability to unlock the lessons with brain power. Since brain power seems to be given accordingly and fair. Buying lessons with brain power should be enough to keep the players motivated to win. And despite losing, atleast they can save up and improve over time. 😃
Overall I give it 10/10. I believe it is the best chess app in the app store.
“Despite the simple UI and UX, the game balances it with the joy of playing against Magnus Carlsen.”
BrainPower suggestion
I love everything about the app. I find it very helpful and I understand that it needs to have some profit of some kind. But is it possible to make an option where in if my Brain power reaches a certain value like let’s say 500 or even 1000 I can now unlock a video which cost Php 99 in my country? Thanks and a really great app btw.
