It is going great, I paid for the limitless lessons, and enjoying the learning experience. I started at the beginner level and played maybe 25 games so far. I am always using the "review mistakes" funtion. My only point that needs improvements so far has been this. When I start review, I think it is much better to start with the present game and learn from that specific game instead of a mistake I made 4 games ago. Another thing, it comes back to the same mistakes over and over again.

Very nice app with a good idea behind it. Great coaching. Can't rate it any higher though, because after 3 games you need to start paying a subscription for coaching, which is totally fine, but it's called "free trial" or "free coaching" when it's clearly paid and with a monthly subscription at that... this kind of misleading thing is unacceptable.

Having now played a few months, read several books, and used several apps, I've downgraded to 3 stars. The lessons and training options aren't comprehensive enough. You won't learn what you frequently do poorly with Dr. Wolf because it doesn't look at root causes of your moves/game. At most, it will show you your last bad move, but it doesn't currently have the know how to show you how your bad move really came from a bad move four moves ago. Good for basics/beginners, but little after that.

Hi there! When Dr. Wolf is coaching, he will often give hints. Of course, he starts very vague but if you press the hint button (?) underneath his picture, he will give you more direct hints. In this way, Dr. Wolf can often mention specific moves or opportunities. Let us know at drwolf@chess.com if you have further questions!
