Pros and cons of Chess U app for iPhone and iPad

Chess U app good for

Its a perfect app but can you translate it in French please ? Thanks
Great App, great lessons, if you wanna learn or improve your chess, this app is perfect.
This is fantastic, offering a lot of nice course material for free! Thank you!
This app has helped me learn that defense doesnt need to be a clunky, tight-knit group of pieces. The lessons that are free are more than enough to teach you useful tricks. The only thing it doesnt teach is algebraic chess notation, but thats easy to learn on the web.
this app gets better with each update, please add more modules.
Excellent breathtaking tutor. You are getting lost in the game and forget your stress!

Some bad moments

I like the idea behind this app. But it is still cumbersome to handle. The biggest problem: The app connects to the internet at every start. This is really annoying!
When downloading you are led to believe the app is free. Now I know most good apps arent free and thats fine but at least they let you try before you buy. Not the case here, dont waste your time downloading unless you plan to purchase the lessons right away!!
Complete money grab and everything is locked out unless u pay for it. Dont bother
The lessons are well structured and informative but there are very few free lessons (~4). In order to learn much at all it will cost $$$$$$. Cash grab as it stands.
Why?! Why?!? I only have like 98 cents and thats not even enough for 1 single thing!
I have bought an advanced bundle and i am disappointed. The course is in fact very basic with shallow coverage of concepts and only 1 quiz per lesson. In the end I didnt learn anything new. The application is very nice but if you have already read a couple of books about chess then probably you will not find anything new. Good only for beginners with an elo < 1400 that are just starting to learn. I am a 1600 player. .
