HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (60 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. 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.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

May seem pricey, but definitely worth it and is good value when compare to other chess apps broadly in same space. The (still relatively) new university feature that provides pathways mixing content from different courses is great addition to an already strong app. The only main feature I would consider missing is a flashcard style review mode. Despite that, it remains a 5 star app due to the quality of the content.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

most likely the best app for serious chess improvers

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026

This application support to how to think and play chess.Thank you
