Absolutely Fantastic!

I highly recommend this wonderful app! I had been struggling for some time to use a chess database app (from a very well-known company) which is riddled with bugs and serious design flaws, and which is apparently not supported at all. This Chess Studio app is beautifully designed, with a rich combination of more features and functions than I would have ever dreamed possible. Thank you!

Gets the job done but poor interface

While the app indeed do what it advertises (store games, add variations for analysis, compare with master games), the UI for navigating the app is very confusing and unintuitive.
The app is also rather unpolished, crashing of you select a cell with 0 games associated, and leaving the basic ability to remove a game from a set. Correction: I have since found how to delete a whole database of games, it was just hidden in the weird/bad UI

Chess Studio for Studying or Correspondence is Perfect!

Great for analyzing games, correspondence chess, reading through chess books or studying your own games. I can't imagine not having this app on my phone. If you're remotely serious about chess, you should get it now!

This is an amazing app for your mobile

This is an app that fills the gap between having to use a complicated chess base program on your laptop and the ability to do formal chess base work on the go. Highly recommended ! Is a must buy

Fantastic!

Chess studio is a great, fully-featured chess database app. I love having it around to review games last-minute before a tournament. My primary feature request would be search by position, and maybe an update to some of the UI (I'm not a big fan of the fonts that are used). Otherwise, it's a great app. Definitely the best for game input. I love that it supports variations on review and entry!

Great Chess Package

This is a well put together pgn viewer with a built in stockfish 7 engine. Allows move by move or full game auto replay. You can input games and variations. You can turn the engine on and off. You can select pieces and board colors. Comes with 700 Fischer games and 800 Botvinnik games with direct access to TWIC databases and player and opening databases free online. A gem!

Great app!

I was looking for an app where I could keep my opening repertoire and tournament games with me on the go wherever I am. I started with the chessbase app, which was great for professional games, but fell very short in managing my personal database. So then I found this little gem of an app, and I am so impressed!
Dropbox integration means I always have access to my latest files, and can even edit on the go. Built is stockfish engine is awesome. Endgame tablebase is awesome.
As I was first testing out the app, I found a few bugs...app updates were quickly released which fixed the issues. When I found what I thought was another bug, I emailed the developer for help...he was extremely responsive and helpful...in the end the bug was with my Chessbase program.

Important addition to chess programs but needs polishing

If you like creating your own databases with annotations and textual comments on a mobile device, this is the app for you. It includes an engine, common moves, great interface, and ability to edit seamlessly. It is imperfect but overall quite user friendly
Key needs/problem are:
the program is not bulletproof upon saving your work. If you don't save database and then save game separatel, you can Lise hours of work
Does not allow download if cbv files
Freezes sometimes

Great app but interface needs polishing

Great app with tons of feature. I especially like the copy/paste games, support for annotations and sub variations, folders for database mgmt, iCloud support, and access to PGN Mentor website to download databases. Would be great if these features are added:
- auto play games
- remember last position/game opened in a database

Great Chess Database app!!

This is the best app that allows you to manage a database in PGN. So if you want to study games from books while entering the moves and sub variations this app is for you. I use it to study chess tactics out of some books I have while entering all the variations, and sub variations. If you have been looking for a good chess database app for the iPad or iPhone this is it. The price of the app is extremely inexpensive for an app with this kind of functionality. It also integrates with Dropbox. Thanks to the developers for bringing such a good PGN database management tool. I have a FIDE 2100 chess rating and this is the app I have been waiting for.

Great app. Responsive developer!

I have been waiting forever for someone to create a chess app where you can truly navigate databases and annotate chess games. This app is it! There are some glitches but the developer responds quickly and fixes them! Highly recommended! I look forward to even more improvements but I already is this app extensively!

Good concept, but glitchy

Good idea, but some glitches exist. I tried putting a game manually with extensive comments, but somehow my saving attempts did not save the game. Later simple entering the moves with short comments worked just fine. Inconvenient that you have to drag pieces. Nice that you can email pgn database from elsewhere and open it in this app.

Too buggy

This could be a nice chess app, but often crashes on my iPad air. Many bugs need to be worked out.
