User Reviews

HIARCS Chess on iOS is praised for coaching tools, human-like adaptive play, hardware compatibility (Millennium e-boards), an intuitive UI, and good value. Common drawbacks are limited PGN navigation, customer-support concerns, and occasional stability issues such as crashes or freezes.

Pros

Coaching and training features that help you learn and improve (built-in tutor and guided practice).
Very human-like, adaptive play that mimics interacting with a real opponent.
Strong hardware integration, notably good compatibility with Millennium e-boards.
Intuitive, clear, and user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use.
Good value for the price / affordable given features.

Cons

Limited PGN/database navigation controls (no easy next/previous game or smooth navigation within PGNs).
Customer support issues (reports of unresponsive or poor support).
Stability problems (crashes on some devices, freezes or needing restarts to proceed).

Recent reviews

It would be great to have a FEN clipboard/email import function. Back <~> Forward buttons, to navigate already open PGN.

Please add a ‘next game’ button to go to the next game in the current PGN database. The game interface is good enough, but going through games in a database is clunky. A ‘next’ button would make Hiarcs the only chess app I’d need.
