Ratings and Reviews
Road way to mastery.
Not this app in particular because it is simply a beginner app, in regards to mastery, however all of the apps collectively and thorough study would lead to mastery, and this is a minor fee in the scheme of thing for the serious player.
Great and Terrible
As a relative novice, I really appreciate the lesson design. But the inability to shut off the blasted rating update after every single match is horrible. As one would expect, the lessons progress in difficulty which is very helpful. Watching my score drop after every single mistake, over and over and over, is the antithesis of helpful. It’s frustrating and demoralizing. It’s exactly enough to know when I’ve erred. It’s not necessary to constantly rub it in. We should be able to shut off the judge (instant rank updates) and just LEARN.
This punishment-centered approach is demonstrably inferior and unnecessary. Get rid of it, and this would be a four or five star app. I bought this to get better at chess, not to be constantly harangued for the very ignorance I’m working hard to address. Give us an option to SHUT IT OFF.
No updates from developer. Possible spyware.
Chess content is great. Unfortunately the developer has neglected updating all its standalone apps since releasing it's Chess king app. No updates for many years now.
To top it off, this app (and most other standalone apps from this dev) copies whatever you have on your clipboard on app startup. This may well be an innocent bug which went unfixed since this app was neglected by its dev. It may also be an intentional invasion of privacy.
App Privacy
The developer, Chess King, has not provided details about its privacy practices and handling of data to Apple. For more information, see the developer’s privacy policy.
