But design!, there is no key to purchase all books at once, you've to purchase them one by one! And it kills a lot of time. When you purchase Books you will lose store directories!,

U70%

On Nexus 7 using Lollipop version of Android there is no content displayed in the three tabs. I could perform a few searches but the results were not displayed. Taping on the screen displays some info about the unseen item, but that's about all I can do.

This app has many limitations that make it useless for a serious chess player as it presently stands. 1. The board and buttons are miniscule, even on a moderately-sized display like that of the Galaxy S5, and there's no way in the settings to change that. 2. Sometimes just getting a button (or a move embedded in the page) to respond is a chore, which is a by-product of both the size and an often buggy interface. 3. It's viewable only in landscape and will not rotate 90 degrees so that you can, once again, make the board larger, as I routinely do with Chessbase and Forward Chess when I want to study a position more closely. 4. You can't key in your own moves for analysis purposes. Seriously? Forward Chess has a similar type of interface to Chess Studio and entering your own moves is easy. I admire John Nunn very much, particularly for his recent work on Lasker, and have always had the highest regard for Gambit Publications, but this app needs a serious overhaul. If it worked properly, I would have bought at least four of the currently offered books by now.

I like the app, but I hope for an upgrade soon. At least it should be possible to copy the position/moves into clipboard so that it can be pasted into another app for analyzing.

I love this app especially when using my galaxy tab2 10.1. Now. What will i do with my actual books now that this app is already cool?

Great well designed software that makes the excellent range of Gambit chess books much more accessible for the average club player. Looking forward to more of the books being available in this format.
