Latest reviews of Chess Openings - Modern Lines app for iPhone and iPad
Free version offers 3 moves of an opening. Not enough of a taste to pay $4 for the upgrade.
I have only been browsing the openings a bit, but the app seems very simple, and straight forward enough! I love it.
A couple of lines are free but if you want better lines pay, pay and pay. There are MUCH better opening applications out there in Apple Land.
waste of an app. seems like it easier to study from a book than the way the app is set. not the easiest app to maneuver.
I bought this app having good expectations for it. It blew me away! I hope they update it sometime soon, though. This has an in-app purchase that is a waste. Love the app. Thanks!
