I ve postponed this review for over a year hoping NiC would iron out enough bugs to allow me to give their app more than a single star but to no avail The great benefit of reading a chess magazine on an iPad should be the ease of enjoying the games themselves but this is the glaring shortcoming of the New in Chess app the game viewer is one of the poorest on the iPad If you enlarge the board all the game annotations disappear It s not for lack of space half the screen is simply blank If you wonder what an engine reveals about a position you ll get no help here as NiC hasn t deigned to provide one Even worse games are often entered incorrectly so they become impossible to follow in the viewer By often I do not mean a majority of the games but I do mean enough games that I m no longer surprised when I reach one The apps for each of the other chess publishers are great Many of the apps put out by independent programmers are great New in Chess has really done a shameful job on this one     Lots of good potential ruined by poor execution Bald-Idiot

Highly recommended                     Good product good app Kingarthur17

This app makes your chess time very productive fun and you can access it everywhere you go I have been subscribed for more than ten years to the hard copy magazine but this digital version makes it more convenient                     Convenient and easy to use supersupermariox2

iPad version is a little more convenient to view but the iPhone version is great too                 Easy access to the great content of NIC BerndFlix

I bought 2016 4 on an iPhone 6 and when I got an iPhone SE couldn t download my purchase Keeps rejecting my login info Changed password but still no luck     Cannot restore purchases made on older iPhone efgarcia2017

Extremely simple and perhaps naive in that there is potential for a lot more One can go over game notation and variations with ease Occasional bugs while signing in but otherwise solid                 Naive and simple YourConsciousness

Very easy to navigate NIC magazine and follow games and variations Needs an integrated engine as in Forward Chess application                 Clean format needs engine Full step

This NIC app as well as the NIC Books and files app are really first rate and leverages learning with the design that lets you easily walk through games in the magazine or in books It s also a breeze to play through variations on the screen The only thing missing which would make this five stars for me is a built in analysis engine or a feature that would let me import stockfish shredder or Fritz from my iPad to run analysis on moves not covered in the text Please consider adding this as an in app purchase if necessary                 Terrific app Dr Svensk

Allows you to see games one move at a time Top level analysis Information about who s who past and present                     Great rhinegold

Awesome                     New In Chess EnidChessExpert

It is easy to navigate the best written chess magazine in the world on this app                 The greatest game An actual chess master

I ve never seen such a beautiful chess app that makes reading and learning chess so fun Top that up with world class content and you have the best chess magazine in the world Thanks to everyone at New in chess team Job well done                     A must have for all who care about the game Rohan Dalvi

First time I ve checked NIC Lots of Chess Great articles well written Plus games with interesting analysis I download the issue and take it with me on trips                     Great Chess content 54 ways

Seems to freeze a lot and the menu disappears sometimes I don t understand why the magazine is so expensive and this app is so mediocre         Pretty weak Terrible Chess Player

I have been meaning to buy a copy for a while and am not disappointed Excellent selection of annotated games I also might add a very well designed magazine                     Excellent Looking Magazine RDWL

iPad access was great Now iPhone access makes it even greater                     Great xxtoddxx

Great to be able to read and play through the games without a board                     Like the old magazine format heorot8757

Everything works beautifully in this app Smooth reliable operation crisp response Just tap on any diagram or move and it shows you the position AND lets you step through the moves backwards or forwards from there I have four other reader apps on my iPad and they all frustrate me in some way This app however gets its exactly right bravo                     Fantastic Rirst Fate

The great thing about this New in Chess magazine app is that you can open the games to play through right inside the magazine you no longer need to have a chess board in front of you to work out the moves in the articles even though I still like doing that sometimes this is good when you are on the go and can t pop open a chess board very convenient I would take a half star off for the price of the mag but it has the type of articles I m interested in much better than USCF s Chess Life in my opinion                     Better than Print New in Chess magazine app Avangrod

First let s be clear New In Chess is the best chess magazine out there for the seriously player or fan and this production is the best effort at producing a chess magazine by anyone I ve seen yet The interface makes it easy to follow the text of the annotations as well as the game position at least on the iPad It makes wise use of the available screen and quite importantly for me doesn t dictate the position you have to view it from allowing you to hold the device in either position portrait or landscape The typography is readable almost everything about it is as good or better than the rest of the electronic chess pubs out there Almost everything Yes They persist in the unfortunate belief that taking a picture of a printed page is a satisfactory means of electronically publishing a story This in Tony Miles famous words is utter crap Luckily their printed magazine believes in narrow columns for the most part so there s little horizontal scrolling needed after you zoom the story text to readable size That is all that saves this from a much harsher review Excellent magazine above average presentation                 Best effort to date MoreDisgusted

I m in heaven Thank you NIC My only quibble is the layout of the play thru screen could be better done                 Awesome Santie321

I am a subscriber of the magazine I have been waiting for this app for a while now it is excellent                     much needed app inanehorse

I have been subscribing for 3 years now and it is such a fantastic magazine It is fun informative educational and just all around the best Now the app will make it easier to play through the games I m so excited about this app and look forward to many more years of this magazine Top notch                     Great magazine Shacklebolt30
