I really liked the app and used it for several years. However I recently upgraded my phone and when I reinstallled the app in the new phone, it fails to read anything that is not stored directly in the telephon. In fact it can not even fond my SD card. This is a serious drawback and I have not been able to use the app since.

Awesome! This app helped me study chess in a more convenient way since you don't need to use another app to play the moves from a certain position. You can try to understand the positions from an ebook by looking at the virtual board and read the explanations given by the book's author without the need for an external software. I highly recommend this app for people who don't have a physical chessboard as a companion for their studies.

A brilliantly thought-out app for the traveling chess lover! One of the difficulties of reading a chess book is not having a board always on hand to play out the moves. Chess Book Study fills this gap beautifully. Very simple to use - simply download the pdf, and open it from the app. It even has an option to split 2-page pdf's to single pages with the click of a button. Developed by a true chess lover who has struggled with a problem and found a simple and elegant solution. Many thanks!
