Good app for chess, but having to buy a subscription for maybe a third of the things to do isn't too fun, especially for kids, because a lot of kids like me don't have debit cards or stuff like that, would stick to an app called Duolingo if you couldn't go up against any bots for free, but still, good app overall, and I'm hoping the problems a lot of kids face will get fixed, and I still mean it when I say good app overall.

The app is good and my 6 year old picked up a few moves faster than what I would have taught him. The pass and play part is mostly good. For the downsides, I cannot find or add any of my kid's friends online so he doesn't get to play with them unless they visit. Also, puzzles without a clear objective is not what a kid is expected to solve (and some of the puzzle solutions are not even the best move). The puzzles vary between one/two step moves and something that needs six steps.

I shouldn't need to create an account to get even the most basic tutorial, which I need before I try a practice game. I know how the pieces move, but nothing at all of strategy. I didn't want a straight YouTube video, but I guess that's where I'm going. I'm an adult, but tried this in hopes of an interactive tutorial to see if I liked the app BEFORE I coughed up information.
