5 ★ Solid app with very interesting puzzles, I wish it had nicer looking boards and pieces options though.

5 ★ Solid app. Just may need some patience to figure out all the wonderful options and means to use the program. Well worth the money!

5 ★ This training app is amazing. I own multiple apps by this company, and plan to purchase more. There are subtle ways it could be improved. The statistical graphs don't clearly show the numbers on the right side, because they are blocked by data. Another improvement would be the notification of score adjustments after a tactic is completed. It often blocks pieces, which affects completion time. I would like if it were moved to an unused position on the screen.

5 ★ I purchased ct arts for my son to practice tactics. It serves the purpose really well. I found it so fun to do tactics i actually purchased another copy for my self!

3 ★ app is unwilling to allow the player to explore the possibility of better moves. on the very first problem i solved it, and then did the counter point and discovered i could fork the king and the rook with the knight (which was a critical piece in this problem). it gave me an error message and wanted to force me into what it thought was the correct move. chess is ALL ABOUT interpretation. you need a way for the program to allow for exploration of alternative moves.

3 ★ App is great except these automatic moves, supposedly these are the obvious move, then why make it automatic? If it's obvious then we should be able to find it. These are not helpful. It would be a 5 for me if not for these, I actually also bought the full package.

2 ★ The puzzles are great, but I had a question on why my level 10 has only 26 puzzles, when my chess coach says there should be 120+ in level 10, and I cannot find an answer. I paid $8 for the app and cannot figure out if I received the full version or not.

5 ★ Its a Great app for chess players to train practice visualization and tactics!! Awesome!!

5 ★ the android version of ct-art is fine to use, but the PC version ct-art 6.0 is complicated to install all the modules correctly because their Russian programmers decided to build it like they built the mir space station .

5 ★ I like this app because it prompts you to see more than one possibility and provides the solution after several failed attempts of your own. It is realistic and certainly will improve the average players chess IQ as it pertains to tactics.

5 ★ I like this app much better than rest because of the simplification of moves in certain areas. Helps me remember the situation much better.

5 ★ Really like it so far. I bought the full version and don't really have any complaints. Had to spend some time clicking around the app to figure out how everything works.

5 ★ Wonderful guide for learning to see opportunities on the board. Hints, alternatives, replays, even simplifications.

5 ★ Far more in depth than other free tactics apps, with minimal ads and no daily limits. Definitely worth a shot!

3 ★ If you say what the lesson name is then it would be much more helpful I think. It was frustrating trying to figure out how to get mate when I was actually in the annihilation defense lesson, as I had no idea that was the lesson name.
