HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (174 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ 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).
WHAT THEY ASK FOR

  • Needs more customization 4★, Mar 15, 2026
  • It does need more explanation on certain moves to make it less pure memorizing and more interesting. 5★, Nov 30, 2025
  • I wish we had these types of people line assistance 50 years ago. 5★, Nov 28, 2025
  • However, there could be some improvements on my opinion for example could you make it possible, to switch threw the flashcards. 4★, Sep 8, 2025
  • I wish it wasn't that much punitive. 4★, Jul 31, 2025
  • The app itself is amazing but I just wish there was a little more available before I'm hit with a paywall. 5★, May 2, 2025

★★★★★ 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

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
Looks like an Android app

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.)

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026
Worst way to learn

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!

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Local engine

Tôi cần nước đi tốt nhất, tôi muốn có local engine và muốn ưu tiên nước đi nào hoàn hảo nhất

★★★★★Oct 2, 2026
Pretty Neat

Quickest way to get better at chess imo

★★★★★Sep 26, 2026
Expecting more

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.

Store description

Lotus Chess is a powerful chess training app designed to help you improve faster than any other chess learning app. It provides a complete system for mastering openings, tactics, and endgames. Join more than 250.000 chess learners across the world — from beginners starting with the fundamentals to competitive players with 2300 Elo. Unlike most apps — which focus on engine-perfect theory — Lotus Chess teaches attacking chess that helps you win against human opponents. --- Opening Training Built for Real Games Lotus Chess analyzes up to 3000 of your online games, identifies your weaknesses, and creates a personalized, tailored course to make your openings bulletproof. Lotus Chess teaches you crushing lines that exploit common mistakes, instead of showing you boring theoretical lines that rarely happen in actual games. To do this, Lotus Chess’ AI has analyzed 100.000.000+ games to identify the lines that give you the highest win probability against real players. Opening Features • Personalized opening courses generated from your own games • Import games from Chess.com or Lichess for automatic analysis • Identify your most common opening mistakes • Train openings repeatedly until they become natural • Learn from a library of 80+ openings --- Master the Endgame Endgames decide a huge number of chess games, yet they are often the most neglected part of training. Lotus Chess includes a complete endgame course designed to teach practical endgame technique step-by-step. Endgame Training Includes • 60+ detailed lessons • Fundamental checkmates (queen, rook, etc.) • Advanced techniques like building the bridge • 180+ training positions to practice against a human-like engine Instead of only studying theory, you get to play and convert winning positions to reinforce what you’ve learned. --- Additional Features • All Endgame and Opening Lessons work offline (Great for the airplane and your commute) • 100,000+ chess puzzles • In-depth analysis of your online games • Personalized training recommendations --- Built by Chess Players Lotus Chess was created by two brothers who started playing chess at age four. After building a math learning app with over 6 million downloads, they set out to create the ultimate chess learning platform. The result is Lotus Chess: a modern chess training system that combines opening preparation, endgame mastery, and personalized analysis — which is now being used by over 250.000 learners across the world.
