Pros and cons of ChessBase Online app for iPhone and iPad
ChessBase Online app good for
It would be better if we could flip the board.
We dont see the rate of the black player.
I dont want to see games when the players rate are minus 2100
finally got my moneys worth. A new opening book and endless
chess databases. please add an autoplay feature.
It was working great for
Months. Now is stop
Working on my pad and iPhone . Can anyone help
Me
This app is great but stopped working a few days ago. I cannot bring up games from the database, which is the most important function. The opening book is not working, either. I have tried standard solutions such as making sure that I have an Internet connection, turning the device off and on and resetting it to no avail. Attempting to contact customer support has gotten me no response.
In fairness I must revise the comments above. I have succeeded. I have gotten this app working again after getting a new Internet connection. It is a fantastic app that facilitates the study of chess in numerous ways. My real problem was getting help to solve the problems which even baffled people who work professionally in the computer field. So my only caveat is to warn the user that you must have a good internet connection!
Some bad moments
What a price for so poor options! You even cant switch the board !!
This product is a kind of draft version. To avoid. A big disapointment for a chessbase product.
Maj : toujours aussi nul. Une mise à jour annonce une version française... Inexistante... Et la page de paramètres ne saffiche plus. Une catastrophe cette appli!
The annotation in games... missing!
Write you own games... missing!
Search mechanism... trash!
Open your own database... you cant!
Completely useless!
Dont by this piece of trash!!!
The search mechanism is no longer working. Now I can only access the news service. I really hoped having my money better honored
Since a couple of days, the application does not work anymore. I see the title screen but not getting any further. No error message or other information is presented.
Until fixed, this app is a no buy!
This is cheating, there are only 1000 games. I want my money back!
This app has no info page. It freezes when searching for a chess player.
I have to reboot my itouch. It will be nice once they get the bugs fixed.
Search button sometimes doesnt work.
