How to use the opening explorer?

Hello fellow chessplayers,

This question came up. How to use the opening explorer? Because, I'm sometimes interested in openings I see in my games. And then I want to look them up. But don't really know how the opening explorer really works. And don't really understand all of it. Maybe some of you can help me with this question?

Greetings,

Well, there are two apps but it's not on the Android app. (And I don't know anything about the apple app.)

However, you can use a browser app to use it on the website.

Yes it works on iOS. Just open up the analysis board and tap the book icon.

It is available in Daily games, under the game menu and Show Book, at least in completed games; it should be in current games as well, but I haven't played one in a while. It may be called something else in the older app.
