I think Tactic Trainer from CoreGames should be on that list.  That would be in my list of top 2 or 3 apps.  The puzzle volume and quality is unmatched.

Mine, too.

Chess News is another kind of Chess apps for iPhone. It's not about playing chess(there is so much chess playing apps in the market!), but reading international chess news. There's also a module to calculate your performance and rating during tournaments.

SmallFish is the best.

Wanted some new challenge in CHESS?? try this game "Chess Battle Quest"

chessmobi

You might be interested in Chessmobi. It contains tactical training material curated by an IM and a FM. The free version on the AppStore includes free samples for each available volume. At the moment it comes with 3 volumes: two tactics collections and one "play like the GM" game collection. Additional volumes are in the working.

I would say the 'Play Magnus' app, for android and ios! Its really good where you can play against Magnus from 5 - 24 yrs old! - JonC202

Yeah. I strongly recommend Stockfish, SmallFish and SmallChess!

The best chess app doesn't exist. It would be socially driven. Basically, a Whatsapp style chat where you can easily share games (by pasting PGNs), commenting and suggesting moves. Chess.com should have it, perhaps revamping their app to allow this.

This is a stupid idea.

I have only been playing for seven months. Before that I barely knew how the pieces moved. But I think I'm improving at a steady rate so maybe I can throw in my two cents. Playing CC, chess.com of course. Analyze This is used by millions of players and is easy to use. For tactics I like using Perfect Chess Trainer, but there are others just as good. Good Luck!

I have an app that I made for increasing chess skill and IQ. It is called: Brain Training Chess. It costs only 2,99 dollars. I have many years of experience in brain training and I really do think this is one of the best brain training applications out there. If you have any feedback or questions just ask away.
