HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (0.0 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.

Very Good Learning App for Chess

Works great on my iPad Air OS 18.1.1, able to bookmark memorable games, book purchases have been excellent.

★★★★★May 5, 2023
Careful…You can’t witch between apple and iPad

You can’t switch between apple and iPad. I bought a book and found out that is isn’t possible two switch between the two. I wanted it on my phone also and it can’t be done. Horrible interface. You’re better off buying a book from forward chess.

★★★★★Nov 14, 2022
