Don’t Just Take Our Word For It…

The chess board defaults to the smallest possible size. The size can be increased, but then you unable move the pieces. This happens on my tablet and my phone. On the tablet it negates the point of using a bigger device, and on the phone it makes the app effectivly unusable. This has been an issue for a few months already and I'm not the first to complain.

edit: seems to be fixed with a recent update. now the app is great, functions as intended and is less confusing than using a browser on mobile. Love the website, app just gives a blank white screen. Tried clearing cache and data, reinstalling, can't get the app to work. Android 14 on s22+

For full functionality of Chessable, go to its website. This app is useful to use the move trainer (e.g. during daily commute) and review the videos. But on the website the text versions of all courses are much easier to enjoy, and you can analyze any position with the engine. It's a pity that this app doesn't support an engine, in other chess apps it's very common. Hence only 4 stars.
