Apr 24, 2020 Exactly what I was looking for. All notation in the book is interactive with the built-in chessboard. It needs more books, though. -
Great!! But please give us a (text readable function)
Sep 30, 2019 Awesome,happy to see this app move forward,updates is absolutely GREAT! Their books are great,and customer service response is good too. New In Chess just update to ( text readable screen function ) on iOS device's. This is the way of the future.more -
Jan 23, 2020 A more efficient and enjoyable way to study chess. Very convenient, no missed lines, resetting the board, etc. Good price too. -
Solid, but could be better
Aug 4, 2019 This is a solid app and I love playing through these books with the board in screen. Some suggestions: 1) A button to flip the orientation from white to black or vice-versa. This button could be placed in the empty space next to the copy position and computer analysis buttons. 2) listed algebraic notation of the last two moves below the board 3) there seems to be a scrolling issue where the book scrolls just a little more than expected Overall though, this is a great app and great way to study chess.more -
Sep 18, 2019 Great app, but the follow-the-main-line button on the board app doesn't work for me.

Oct 10, 2019 Most useless, just shows a list of books and hiw much you can by them -

Great App
Oct 22, 2015 Great app with a good selection of books. Needs at least an analysis board so I can examine variations not covered in the text. Even the weakest engine would be nice too. But still a nice app for reading on the plane or at lunch or anywhere you don't have access to a board.more -
Jul 21, 2020 Update the engine though, seems weak.

Excellent Customer support
Sep 28, 2013 There were retina graphics problems in version 1.0. I reported them to the publisher. And they were immediately fixed as a result. So the customer service seems to be excellent. The app now works very well. The control seems a little sluggish which is why I am only giving it 4 stars. The material however is excellent.more

What’s Groovy
The board works great! Worth the investment in the books. However, I don't see a way of syncing progress or bookmarks between different devices. I also don't see how to highlight text. Finally, being able to copy pgn of games would be helpful for further analysis. But I suspect that is deliberate.

What’s Subpar
You cannot download purchased books to both Android and Apple versions of the app without purchasing the book twice. Gambit needs to follow the lead of Forward Chess which has this ability.

Fantastic tool!
This app is amazing. It makes chess study more dynamic. I just got the book on Kasparov and going through one of his games took me half the time on this app. Moving back and forth between your book and the board takes more time than you may think. Also, with this app you can speed through an analysis and judge weather is worth spending time on it or if it's better to move on with the main text. If you study chess and you are not an expert who can fly through chess books, this app will help you quite a bit. I cannot wait for Gambit to make more titles available (it would be amazing if they could include FCO as one of the titles for this app). -
Best app for chess books.

Great App
A classic app by Gambit and with the most recents John Nunn's books. I am loving it.

This is what a chess book should be...awesome!!!
This is perfect when you cannot use a chess board to play over the position. Works perfectly for me while commuting on the train. Thank you Mr. Nunn! -
The latest update is a huge improvement. I wish there was a way to hide the board altogether. Also, many excellent Gambit books are missing from the list. Any chance to add more of the older Gambit books?
