★★★★★ Super disappointing and I hate that I wasted money on this app.
★★★★★ This app is a total waste of time and money if you are trying to learn openings.
★★★★★ Until those issues are solved, I'll be cancelling my subscription as I'm not benefiting from it (yet).
Nothing stands out.

★★★★★ This app is really helpful for learning chess openings, I've just been studying the Catalan and the app makes it quite easy.
★★★★★ I actually checked a lot of chess apps, platforms, etc but that's the first one that seem actually really useful for learning.

★★★★★ Definitely nice to get able to memorize opening theory in a fun way
★★★★★ I normally use Chessable when it comes to learning openings, but sometimes Chessable is a little “to much “ and unintuitive. LotusChess has developed a way to strengthen areas I've been struggling with that I wasn't…

Best app to learn openings
The core functionality is fine but if I’m paying for it on iOS, I want it to look and work like an iOS app. Where’s the Liquid Glass? Where’s the Widget? I use Sign in with Apple to reduce my spam and the number of logins I need to manage. Where is that? I’ll learn a few openings for free and maybe even start a trial, but I would really like a redesign to make it worth my money (because there is so much chess content out there.)
So disappointed with this app. The teaching method is straight up rote memorization, no explanations, no structure. Then, to "test" your learning it throws up random positions and asks you to "play the move you learned." It just keeps repeating, hoping you'll just memorize. Dumbest way to learn ever. Might as well have included a shock collar to penalize mistakes. Customer service doesn't respond. A complete waste of $50. Don't do it!
Tôi cần nước đi tốt nhất, tôi muốn có local engine và muốn ưu tiên nước đi nào hoàn hảo nhất
Quickest way to get better at chess imo
App just says what is the next move, but learning doesn’t work in that way. We have to know reason for that move. No knowledge just learning first 10 moves like machine.
