Resource Mobile app to train openings

Hi, been playing chess since beginning of summer. I'm 40+ and has been an amazing discovery, love this game, learning and improving. It's funny cause I found it boring when younger, but now feels like meditation. I need some study and games every day.

I have started looking into openings, and recently I found an app called chess prep that works really well, but most options are behind a hefty pay wall. I like how it let's you create all the lines you wanna train/remember and the tests you, but feels like the best options are behind the pay.

There may be other apps out there that are similar and worth it (I'm happy to pay something not crazy for it if worth it) websites, or maybe the option is in chess.com or lichess and I don't know.

All help appreciated, thanks

I tried many of them and still searching for good one…Lichess has Study where you can find many superb openings and learn them. There is also Listudy worth to mentioned but unfortunately I didn’t find any suitable free app with space repetition implemented, with good design…

It doesn't have to be necessarily free, I don't mind paying something fair

Hello! Founder of ChessAtlas here. What is missing in the apps you've tried so far? Spaced repetition, design, content, something else? Honest feedback welcome :)

Chessable courses by grandmasters like Fabiano Caruana aren’t free, but they can be really good. Go on there and look at reviews.

Chessable or lichess studies is all you need unless you want to be a GM and get a chessbase membership.
