User Reviews

Chess Studio is praised for its interactive notation, ease of study, cross-device book reading on Android, and good value. However, multiple users mention the weak chess engine, limited book availability especially Gambit titles, device compatibility problems on certain models, inability to share purchased books between Android and Apple versions, and occasional need to reinstall the app. Overall, it offers strong learning tools but requires improvements in stability, engine strength, and content availability.

Pros

Interactive chess notation integrated with the built-in chessboard enhances learning and study.
The app supports cross-device book reading using the same Google account, making purchased content accessible on multiple devices.
The app is convenient and efficient for studying chess, avoiding common issues like missed lines or resetting the board.
Good value for price and includes many useful features for understanding chess deeply.
The app runs well on certain Android tablets, such as Xiaomi Mi Max, with reasonable speed.

Cons

The chess engine is considered weak and needs updating for better performance.
Purchased books cannot be downloaded across both Android and Apple devices without buying them twice, causing inconvenience.
The app does not work properly or at all on some devices like Redmi Note 3, Sony Xperia E4G Dual, and Xiaomi Mi Pad 3.
Users report having to reinstall the app daily, indicating stability or persistence issues.
The library lacks many popular Gambit books that users desire to be included.

Recent reviews

It's a very good app for Android 9 tablets. It should also be made available for PCs and mac's. The ability to do what-if analysis warrants a fifth star.

Excellent! Differently from the Chessbsse files, the text in the book looks normal. Good news that indeed you can read your books, purchased on one device, on another device too. All you need to do is to use the same Google account on both devices. Fantastic!
