I don't think anything has changed much since my last blog about openings-related iPhone apps:
http://blog.chess.com/DeepGreene/more-chess-openings-on-your-iphone
I think each app has had one update since then: Opening Pro has an iPad-specific UI (a few little changes, nothing revolutionary), and Chess Openings now has a text-based search function.
They are interesting apps, but nowhere near as powerful as CPT.
I'm not looking for an opening encyclopedia but an opening trainer, based on my own book etc but thanks for the reply, I'll keep an eye out.
Cheers,
Ben
Perhaps you could create an annotated pgn with the variations in your opening repetoire, and use ChessDB or NM ajgreen's new app: (http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/annotations-and-variations?lc=1)
That's what I'm working on.
Dear bensbookshelves,
When we created Chess Repertoire App we were thinking exactly the same.
We thought it would be great a mobile app where we can study and practise a sound chess repertoire no matter where we are, so that we can use it at any time.
If you want, you can visit www.chessrepertoire.com or download for free Chess Repertoire (available for iOS and Android).
What about Arnel Domingo's Chess Opening Trainer?

I think there is an old Windows version by the same author.

Hello!
Was wondering if anyone knew of any apps that are available or are in development that can help you create (and then test you) an your own opening repertoire?
Something along the lines of Chess Openings Wizard (previously Bookup) or Chess Position Trainer??
I've recently been using Chess Position Trainer to sequentially test myself on all the branches for a new opening I've prepared from other references. The computer plays a move and then you have to reply according to the next move in your opening book. You're able to set how many mistakes you get to make and how many times you have to get each variation correct before moving on to the next one.
It's doing wonders for my Opening preparation (days cut to hours) but I was wondering: why can't I do this on my iPod touch? I could learn openings over morning coffee or on the go or without having to turn the computer on?
Surely it would be simple to develop? Gap in the market or has something simply eluded me?
