Tactics

Access to web apps is spotty. They’re useful, when they work, but the videos still are completely broken, for example. Also it’s entirely too easy to tap a button that takes you to a place from which you cannot return. There’s a lot of potential for this app in the Chessbase ecosystem, but Chessbase itself seems completely uninterested in it these days. CT-ART is a far better tactics trainer than this is. This *could* be a great app, if CB ever decides to care about it. Until it does, there’s no real point in buying it.

This doesn't feel like an iOS game at all. The interface is horrible. The chess problem may be interesting but they are badly designed and poorly described: I tried two and they were both 'Black to move and win', except it didn't meant in the next move! And White's response to the "hinted" move is not forced... so badly posed chess problems. In short... a poorly done chess problems app. Why is this a Featured App???

First a "tactic" in this app is 1 MOVE, so 1 "puzzle" could count for as many as 5 "tactics" so you may not get 100 puzzles for 99¢, second, not all are tactics, some puzzles are just for the best move, which can be confusing if you're looking for a tactic.
