Chessvision.ai Chess Scanner

it is nice we can use it 😁

Very good at what it does. Awesome for reviewing positions from social media. Also, no ads.

it wasn't even close to being accurate

Fantastic. Excellent work!

uhhh

Eva is up 3qqarzz

It turns the table upside down once in awhile... Unacceptable.

A paid subscription for stockfish is against their policy. lawsuits may follow.

the new NNUE or something analyzer made all the analyzes slower, completely ruined the app. Edit: thanks for changing it i can use it well now

Unusable without an account.

it does not help at all the photos are inaqurate and the position is puts you in is worse

great very useful

infinite loading

useless app

No other programs accuracy comes close to this one on importing images.

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Randomly says that you're out of scans and asks you to pay. No indication on how many free scans are available per day/week/month and how many are remaining

it doesnt even lets me sign up

I just love this app

bad

Pawel is fantastic at troubleshooting and providing support. Thanks for resolving my concerns with pgn not loading.

Not suitable for people new to chess looking for a simple user interface that explains why certain moves didn't work. But this came up as a top result when I searched for an AI to do that.

i hate obligatory sign ups in apps

I did every woodpecker puzzle with this app. First, I set up the chessboard but it took a lot of time so I used this app and the puzzles happened quickly but, My son used engine so, he didn't learn anything from that puzzle. It is good but not perfect.

Does exactly what it supposed to do, but something in app itself struggles to hold up after long time use. overral good

Outstanding, so easy to use and helpful. Enlightening to explore all aspects of the position you wish in ones place.

not recognize scoresheets

This excellent, easy to use app works instantly. My chess skills are getting better because of it.

solves chess puzzles with Stockbridge!

excellent 👌👍

didn't work for me, created a completely impossible game from the photo

after 50 step it starts lagging. i have strong device where it handle games like ark ultimate where winds meet without lag it's your app which is faulty for sure. fix app will fix my rating

Great app, especially the unexpected video board explorer is genius

it's a great app for learning and improving I am using this photo section to practice in front of bots. ( pls don't use this to cheat or else u might have to face the consequences of having your id banned and then u can't even create a new one so be careful with it)

Best app..Converting Chess problem image to Chess Analysis which saves huge time chess players. Thank you team

Not really good but best for below 1400 Elos

app is not accessible for blinds

waste app

no one is talking about this app!! if you just take a picture of your board, it loads within 5 seconds. best off all, the button that say "toggle engine" tells you the next best move and helped me win so much! definitely a 5 star app.

Absolutely Perfect

awesome

absolute brilliant

very bad app . always say that it couldn't find the chess board

revolutionary app to solve practical problem.

quite good app

a must have tool for spectators

great stuff

decent app

it won't let me log in with Google or create an account. already tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

muy bueno

please add a small feature after saving position in diagram library let the user to update the same position add a update button

Doesn't starting,l☹️

Let's me quickly scan a diagram from a paper book or digital source. Awesome!

nice application but you can scan only one picture in day or you need to buy

best application for chess players

Very cool 😎

very very very nice for cheating

the best

i tryed this app but this could'nt even analizy the board

after switching the move from one to another position are changed can u fix this issue

recommended app for converting image to pgn and fen file

not clearly recognising images .very bad experience

Very nice app.

thanks for this app

no working

Free Plan doesn't have unlimited photos clicks. worst!!

nice

Just the best. Sell this to chesscom.

wonderful majestic

nice

perfecto

very expensive for playing a fun game

Used to work great but now it asks me to pay an absurd amount of money monthly to use it... time to find a free alternative.

system is not starting!!!!!!

Great application, everything is fully functional. I would love a little modification, if we could also select custom depth level for Stockfish to analyse. This little update will be great help to me personally.

good app very good app brilliant app super app very great app omazing app‼🥳 but cant take images clearly

best app for analysis, i love it ❤️‍🩹

it's a good app

works and insightfull, use it every day

amazing

super

best anliser

good

application not open properly, and take too much time for reloading

it's seems work good but I have some issue that I guess I was because my weak old device.

I have cancelled my subscription over 14 days ago and you keep takimg my subscription out

why it teels two move, please solve this problem

everything is good but it takes too much time to process photo

it takes too much time to process photo

it's free!

very awesome mind of stock fish

Awesome app but give us an button to copy fen or pgn because selecting everything on mobile is tedious

best app

great tool board capturing is great

2nd scanning tool and the only one for video search and browser scan.

a good scanner , really effective sometimes inaccurate

very good app. just need some message, but great

very nice software

very much 😊❤️ nice game 🎮🎯

useless

when I scan a photo some extra piece is added . and the most dumbest problem white walk in there opposite dires

so damn cool. doesn't seem to let you change the theme though. great app!

Amazingly convenient to analyse diagrams using engine, whether screenshots from the internet or using phone camera for books.

Scanner is not working properly.. its giving absurd position even though my picture quality is good.. its not giving the same position..

App provides pretty great advice TBH, though it seems it could use a bit of improvement, figuring out sides of the board from images, or at least make it far less painful to flip the board! (You have to click 3 buttons AND change the position of a piece to get it to remember where your pieces are after the first move after you get the ranks right and flip the board)

Chess engine does not go further tham depth 21 without activating the lichess analisys board. Lots of timed does not work, giving an error that is impossible to connect to the server

All the trouble to make account, sign in, only to find out the festure I needed is hidden behind a pay wall, app developer not upfornt about this, wasted an hour of my time!

So easy to use. Camera takes a photo of virtually all chess diagrams. Instant link to YouTube videos. Much better than Chessify. Perhaps a database would make it perfect.

Edit: Now the app doesn't even start up, it keeps loading for an eternity... Been trying to email them about the problems, but never received an answer. It keeps disconnecting in the middle of an analyzing, so it's pretty much useless now, don't know if they did that to convince people to subscribe, but now I'll never will...

Great app, not very user friendly or maybe lack of training mode or videos. Complex but good functionality.

I must say, I put 1 star before ( my friend used it against me lol) but after using it myself, it is great app for self improvement and analysis of your game. 5 Star for that ( I am also AI engineer nd tried to make this app initially 😜 so props for effort you have put) 5 Star for also mainly for the so timely response back I got after I posted 1 star, keep doing it guys, that's the best way to get effective criticism and improve. Good 🤞

I use this app all the time when watching positions on YouTube. Very interesting and useful ✅

Everything's good but it can't recognise the direction of pawns anyways it isn't asking the direction of white and black pawns sometimes it takes the pieces backwards fix this it is main issue otherwise it is perfect 😀

I will donate something for Chessvision.ai... Very nice application and highly recommended... A lot works can be done As a learner or as a trainer... No words to explain about this... Much appreciated Chessvision.ai

It's good but there was a problem in game the shadows of pawns are visible so it scan shadow also can u fix this in new updates

I use this to take a screenshot from chess puzzles seen on social media so I can play them myself, but it's a bit prohibitively expensive for such recreational use. If they had a nominal fee per use (maybe 25p per screenshot) they could actually get some business from low usage users like myself. I could see myself buying buckets of 20 scans that I use leisurely, vs a subscription that most months I never use. Unfortunately they'll never get my money without a PPU model so I'll uninstall.

Good app! But the problem is that we cannot directly scan a position we have to buy an PC or laptop to scan a position and if we don't want we have to take an screenshot

I enjoy using the app .for scanning images it works seamlessly and links directly to lichess engine as well for online analysis.brilliant!

It works really well! Helpful when reading chess books and working from diagrams.

I found this very useful but the reason why it has 4 stars because it doesn't alerts you about invalid position. There should be this feature which can be turned on or o

Good app. And very helpful admin team should you have any issues.

hi everyone I am yash a 13 year old GM and I love to solve diagrams sometimes I don't know the answer so I use this app for that reason this is very nice app for puzzle and diagram

easily the best option to check for the solution to a position of either a game or a tactic puzzle

I cant see the board on my mi9. Nice app, but position is seen only by means of lichess

Not at all useful for improving players.There is no good stable engine. This can't hel to improve

Can you add nnue scanning ot scans chess screen shots more perfectly it sometimes changed the queen to the rook and.also can you also add.possition editor so we dont have to scan

It is one of the best application for beginners to help them and making their confidence and motivating them that you can do it.. I downloaded this for my brother and really he improved his gameplay..

I don't usually write reviews but I had initial issues getting this app to parse boards from the polgar mates book. The founder corresponded with me over several days and fixed the underlying bug in under a week. Great experience for this user!

Chess Vision AI is an impressive Android app that caters to chess enthusiasts and players. With its specialized feature to scan and analyze chess positions from both printed and digital 2D sources, it's a valuable tool for those seeking to improve their gameplay. The app's ability to quickly interpret positions and provide insightful analysis makes it a must-have for both beginners and experienced players looking to enhance their strategic thinking and decision-making skills on the chessboard.

This app is perfect! There have been so many instances where I desperately needed to scan an image of a chessboard without manually typing the FEN, and this has helped a lot. I recommend you to use it. 10/10.

Works fine. Best to first take a screenshot of a chess diagram in a pdf file. Then go online and select that screenshot. The website will make an accurate board, whose FEN can then be copied and pasted into a chess app or a text editor. // Note: only about 50 scans are free in each 24-hour period! (This should be mentioned in the app description.) // You have to pay a monthly or annual fee for unlimited scans.

I love it especially for the puzzles in the app and I can take a photo of one from another game played by others to get the best moves.

other than the limitation of the amount of scans it's great! work as expected!

Fantastic app! Really easy to open and analyse positions, for example taking a picture of a position in a book to open it and explore it. Has everything needed in the free version but if you want to go pro the price is very good.

Very interesting app , liked most.... I feel It's better if lower memberships available at limited access ...

This is an excellent app for inputting and analysing all kinds of puzzles and positions. . Highly recommend!

Very fast to create an account, but the deletion already took 3 days and not done yet.

It isn't free, and if i leave the app i have to scan again, and if i scan too much times i have to wait a day, kr two to scan again

Genius. I mainly use for going through the moves from a chess book, or comparing other games from opening prep

No longer free (which is fine) but too expensive on top of that. Hard to support the developer even if I want to.

great software, but unnecessarily difficult to move pgn files to a computer. one can only share FEN (not pgn) by email, and FEN cannot be directly opened by chessbase. one also cannot share a whole library and has to send each file separately. I found a workaround using the Dropbox client on my phone, but it is a pity that this strong piece of software has such a poor usability. still 5 stars for the AI.

Great app! Will there be UI options in the future? Board color, piece sets etc ?

Super great app!!! Just superb.. I almost beat Alireza in bullet when I'm trying to screenshot and send the image to the app.. I lost on time.. unbelievable

It's very helpful for analyzing and giving tips such as videos and openings etc. It's very helpful

Works as intended and also the support is super fast ! The mistake I did in the past was that I used to import boards without any space around them. Also, as the team told me, there no need to crop the image. Thank you very much, keep up the good work !

A great app for capturing diagrams and analyzing. There are several of these now. This is one of the best.

Brilliant way to follow along during an educational chess video. Just snap the board and analyse. One of the few genuinely useful chess apps.

Genuinely brilliant, does exactly what it says it does and does it quickly and accurately. I've always wanted something like this since I started playing chess a couple of years ago and have often pondered how I'd implement it myself however I am a moron so no such solution materialised. THANK YOU for providing this. Please implement some sort of donate button, I'd gladly pay for something like this!

This app is great, but pleeeease add the ability to share a link directly to the app!! When i see a puzzle i want to analyze on the app, it would be super useful to just share the tweet and then enter the app!

This app is great! Whenever I'm playing someone on chess.c*m and I'm not sure where to move, I just take a screenshot, load it into this app, and it gives me move suggestions! My rating on improved by 700 points in a week once I started doing this! Sometimes the engine will suggest illegal moves though. Like sometimes if I move black's pawn forward 2 squares, it will say that white pawn can move diagonally behind it and capture even though there's no piece there.

Like it. Very useful for checking my evaluations of on-line puzzles. I would give it five stars if it had Stockfish 15.

Identifies the same piece on the same board as 2 different pieces. Rubbish scanner gets so many pieces wrong

Compliments to the Owner and Chief Developers of this app. As a Chess Coach and Co-founder of a global Chess coaching school (FGCS), I can affirm that this is quite a helpful app for Chess coaches. If only we knew about it years ago- it would have saved 1000s of hours we spent in setting positions manually. BUT one issue - Why is there no option to download the scanned position as .pgn file? Do add the feature bcoz it wastes time to upload the PGN text into another website to download from.

It would be nice to have an overlay mode where it can capture whatever is being displayed on the screen.

This is the best chess tool I have ever seen. For a long time I had dreamt abt this feature in one of my previous chess apps. I take screenshots from my chess ebooks and scan with the app. Awesome! I rate it 10/10.

I love this app so much...i always get posts on Instagram about some positions and its so annoying to solve them in the head...now i jst take a screenshot and scan it in this app and the new update to play with computer is even better. Keep up the good work team.

Great tool to assist with chess puzzles (like trying a variation). Drawbacks: chess engine is sometimes slow to load; with some board colors and piece styles it doesn't recognize piece colors correctly. Chrome extension for desktops is nice as well.

Does NOT work at all in my phone - Realme 8s 5G. Android version 12. Pls look into fixing whatever the bug is for Android 12/Realme 8s devices as soon as possible, thanks.

After scanning, the original a1 square becomes h8 and h1 becomes a8. Very confusing. Can you please address this issue? Will then be able to change the rating as all other features are good. Also please don't think it's a small issue. It's a major concern and worry and also adds to the confusion and stress when handling complicated positions.

Account required to use the app. Posts on reddit get analysed hundreds of times a day anonymously and quickly and yet I need an account? Get bricked.

this is an excellent resource. so innovative, I can't recommend it enough. Simply fantastic for those who want to study chess positions

Edit: Note that this app is only for scanning 2d chess diagrams. It can't create a diagram from a photo of a physical chess board.

This app did exactly what I wanted it to do and more. Easy 5 stars, better than Chessify.

Good app, could use a pop-up button (like Shazam's) to watch videos without having to stop, screenshot and go to the app.

As you would expect it does not see 1 of my 300 chess books in my documents...useless app .they hope u pay before you try it so they can scam ur money..avoid..you have been warned Facts are facts ..did a search as it is designed to do..over 300 books..over 10,000 chess boards .did not find 1..

Love it for checking puzzles and evals on Twitter. Hasn't crashed once and super easy GUI. 👏

So I opened the app to find YouTube videos with the position and ... it doesn't have the function? They developed the tool a long time ago so why can't I find it in this app? Am I just blind? Anyhow, the app works fine for chess positions and does have a Lichess button. But where is they videos button I'm looking for?

has been excellent in allowing me to study physical chess books without having to set up a board! wish there were ways to remove mistakes though... also seems to lose lines that you are testing when you go into the menu, which is a tad annoying... but overall I'm very happy!

I always use this app. but I want to have an option. So that we can do the analysis from the beginning without any scan. Sometimes we need to analys from starting.

This app is just on the next level. I really love the experience it provides but I would love to see a dark mode in this app. Other than dark mode, this app is awesome 👌

Wow very handy, just share the boards straight to chess analyser. You don't need to do all the boring setup step anymore.

Perfect app but black analysis GamePlay show wrong move ..fix it soon ..in early GamePlay ..in opening white alway opening but black show opening ..small error u fix it soon ..

I use this app literally all the time. If you're someone who gets lots of puzzles on their YouTube or Facebook or Reddit feeds but you want to play around with an analysis board rather than just being told the solution then this app is for you. Same with chess books etc. Can't believe it's free (I think it wasn't free before).

Excellent app. I have one feature request that would streamline user experience a lot; it would be great to be able to access the app via the Android 'share' menu, so if I have a picture in my gallery, I can 'share' it to chess vision which would load up an analysis of it.

This is by far the best app as a companion for reading chess books. It has made studying enjoyable finally. UI is very clean and easy to use and it links directly to lichess. Beautiful.

Exceptional! As a software programmer I tend to critize apps, this one is really good 👍 the interface, speed, way it connects with stock fish, and prometes variants. Thanks for this nice application.

Very slick and accurate! One ask, the ability to turn move sounds off

Fantastic app. Works like a charm. Not a single misfire so far. Chessvision delivers again.

Love it! Only thing I would add is a begging position board with all the pieces on it so that I can analyze my beginning of the game. Maybe this feature is in here already l, but I've been importantint a picture of it. Again, amazing app and well developed. Thank you.

Sensational app! Unlike Chessify, you don't have to frame the chessboard in a box, and you don't have to tell it the board orientation beforehand. The chess piece detection works like a charm, too! Unlike Chessify, I've never had a single misfire so far. The power of AI, I guess!
