App is much better than other websites which offer puzzles. Very structured and difficulty levels are also good @developers My full version is not available on my phone. I changed to a new phone (had purchased full version on my old phone) and logged in to the same Gmail account but it doesn't let me access the full version. However it understands that my rating was 2098 previously but doesn't let me access the full course.

Hi! You may try to click on the "Buy" button - the app will search for an active purchase purchase and activate it. That's an automatec procedure and doesn't require a password. In case you'll see a password prompt - do not continue, that will lead to a double payment. In case the button won't work please contact us at android-support@chessking.com

I wish I could give 4.5 stars Chess King apps are always high quality but most of them have two very noticeable flaws.... 1) There are no explanations on the puzzle solutions 2) Puzzles with multiple lines you can only "analyze" the last one after you complete it. If you don't understand the first line opponent played you'd better have an amazing memory or be taking notes. Other than that, amazing and high quality app. I've purchased about 10 of them and counting!

This is a the best chess app I have used. The ubiquitous complaint would have to be that there is often too much disparity between the main puzzles and the "lesser" puzzles. The latter help you when you get stuck by relaying the concept of the given puzzle but in a more basic, easily conceptualized formula. The lesser puzzles are fine but the main ones need a further hint or two before kicking you to the kiddy pool.
