TacticTrainer App Reviews

A great chess tactics app, however when playing in landscape position for my iPad the "Next Problem" button doesnt work unless I tap on another tab on the bar from the left and then come back to the training tab. The button has a bit of displacement and has a small black line under it which might also be part of the glitch. Playing in portrait style screen it works perfectly fine though :/ please fix this problem then Ill give 5 stars

If you want to improve your chess game, this is a great app. There are thousands of problems that found in real matches; this is much more than a "problem solver." Its been a lot of fun for me and Ive improved my game. The authors did a fine job with the problems, analysis, and user interface. Thank you.

I had this app previous, and then they instead of updating it renamed it tactics trainer, tactic trainer and you had to repurchase the app. I got another ipad as i got rid of my older one and guess what, that app which i had purchased twice was dropped and you have to purchase it again. also it does not give solution if you got it wrong. In the latest version it allows you to see the analysis, but the issue is that the analysis may not be the only answer, so unless you pick the "best" one at a given time it will mark you wrong. But best isnt always best, if you let the analysis engine run longer it change its original best line for a new one so if you entered the first answer the second time it would have been mark wrong. Third issue the answer is based on the engine they use. I was marked wrong for one puzzle where i had a double check, but ended up with the same final position and got marked wrong, bc the engine wanted to reach the final position with its way. Also if i have shredder or hiarchs solve a puzzle it will mark those programs wrong if it does not match the engine. Overall, does not allow for multiple solution with same results. .will mark correct moves as wrong. It is NOT a trainer. It is just a puzzle app where you can get marked wrong for a correct answer.

App consistently docks player for choosing variation which does not conform to db. Imagine finding a mate in four and losing 10 rating points because the db has the win of a knight in three! POS for sure.

I just got a problem correct and I went to analyze without the in app engine and when I made my first move in analysis took away rating points as if I got the problem incorrect. The app thought that I was still solving the problem when I had already solved it. The app also doesnt have the best rating system. Its very harsh. The in app engine needs tuning. But other than that this app is the best chess tactics trainer available. This app also needs to reward you more for getting problems right. I should NOT get +.2 points for getting a problem right while losing -8.9 points for getting one wrong. This app doesnt reward you at all. I get 9/10 problems right and my rating goes DOWN. They need to balance this!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE

Crashes during pawn promotion to queen, its been like this forever. Someones got to fix it.
