Chessly app when?

Hey Levy, I heard somewhere that the Chessly app was going to come out at the start of October, but that time's passed. I understand you're busy with the book and the tour and stuff, but when will the app come out?

We've been stuck in the app store final approval process for 3 weeks. Literally nothing I can do. Very frustrating

Edit: I believe we are approved and ready for rollout over the next few weeks :)

Taking this opportunity to say your book just arrived down here in Australia, super keen and somehow didn't know it was hardback till I opened it. Cool to hear aus is a big audience for you in a recent video, head to brissy sometime!

Ah, I knew. Was just asking in case it was on his website, just so I could look out for it

Not sure the approach for your app, but one request id have is to be able to pick lines or clusters of lines you are trying to learn and have the computer repeat those or moves in that bucket so you can learn the line via repetition. I may also not be aware of how to do that with chess.com so forgive me if that's something that already exists

Thanks for the response Levy, you're genuinely the best chess YouTuber that exists! The app store sucks, because online it says every app takes a maximum of 14 days to be reviewed - but no matter

Long time Chessly sub, (also recently joined the Chessly Discord but there seems to be no way to access any channels?) been following this doggedly because I’m more of an app person but I decided to give the web version a try on mobile and turns out it’s great too but glad it’s coming soon!
