## Review summary

Aimchess is praised for effective learning features like scouting/mistake replays and detailed reports that guide targeted practice, with personalization tools that aid improvement. However, recurring issues include heavy paywalls, payment/subscription problems, in-app web navigation traps, login/account bugs, and inconsistent UI/compatibility. These reliability and monetization problems appear across multiple reviews, suggesting strong educational value tempered by usability and access flaws that the developers should address.

### Pros

- Scouting feature and the ability to replay mistakes helps identify weaknesses and focus practice.
- Detailed progress reports summarize past games to pinpoint which aspects to improve.
- Personalization tools (intuition trainer and personalized mistakes drills) support targeted learning.
- Overall strong potential to improve chess with structured practice and analytics.

### Cons

- Heavy paywall and premium pricing lock most content behind a subscription.
- Subscription/payment issues (errors when subscribing, limited payment options such as missing Google Pay).
- In-app browser/navigation traps users in external pages or Google search results, making it hard to return to the app.
- Login/account management problems (cannot login or is forced to login with multiple accounts).
- UI/UX and device compatibility issues (absolutely terrible UI and screen sizing problems on certain devices).
