User Reviews

Reviewers praise Chessimo 2.0 for its excellent, extensive tactical content and the spaced-repetition approach that many say accelerates chess improvement. However, repeated themes across reviews highlight a heavy bug burden in 2.0, including freezes, crashes, and UI quirks. Account/purchase issues and data-migration problems further frustrate users. The core learning tool is valued, but stability, reliability, and better account management are needed for broad user satisfaction.

Pros

Extensive, high-quality tactic puzzle content that many users call unmatched and highly valuable for learning.
Spaced repetition training builds tactical memory and skills (board vision, calculation, precision, speed).
Progressive difficulty (easy-to-hard units) and structure support steady, measurable improvement.
Perceived value for serious players, with reports of noticeable improvement and recommendations.

Cons

Frequent bugs and instability in Chessimo 2.0 (crashes, freezes, and window/piece glitches).
Account and purchase problems: inability to restore purchases, login/sync failures, missing content after upgrade, and poor support.
UI/UX issues harming training experience (board scrolling on iPad, small/obscured boards on iPhone, overlays that hide pieces).
Migration pain from 1.0 to 2.0: progress/content not transferring and some features removed.

Recent reviews

“Repetition is the mother of learning.” This tool helps develop your tactical “muscle memory.” Through repeated exercises of incrementally increasing difficulty, this program helps you to develop board vision, calculation, precision, accuracy and speed. Highly recommended.
