Chess Tactics Art (1400-1600) users say on Google Play
These Chess King courses with theory+exercises are a great way to fine tune your skills and work on problem areas. The incremental increases in difficulty are also great for improvement without running into walls. FUN AND ENJOYABLE! LOVE IT!
I wish I could give 4.5 stars Chess King apps are always high quality but most of them have two noticeable flaws (sometimes they matter, sometimes not) 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!
Good tactics but only few are free. And you ahve buy the full course of this app only in 300/- and then it also moves very slow.
They should have some chess games
