KJ US, Needs improvement — no updates! This app provides a database of chess games that are not annotated. The search filter is very basic. There is a chess engine that comes with the app for analyzing the games but it is very slow on my iPad and causes the app to crash often causing you to start over.
The engine often doesn’t work. The back arrow essentially takes you back to to the starting point. The app wants you to save everything in the cloud and it is difficult to transfer your selected games to your hard drive via email. The playchess server is slow causing you to waste precious seconds on blitz games and lose on time. Forget about playing the videos via the app.
I essentially use the app to look up games in the database but it’s better to do everything on your computer. Don’t know if this is a problem just with the app for iPad or also on other systems.

For example, you can replay games in a pgn file, and you can enter your own variations for analysis, but there is a bug that doesn't allow entry of variations after the last move of a game. Another bug prevents you from moving pieces located on the a-file--the app exits the game and does not save any analysis you may have entered. One design flaw: when replaying a game, it doesn't allow access to all of the game header information--just players names. It is an amateurish app, and I have requested to Chessbase that they update and correct it, to no avail. It appears they have abandoned support for this app.
