How to install Chess Viewer APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Chess Viewer APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.multipie.chessviewer-v2.1.0-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★NICE APP!!
1 ★Have to purchase books
3 ★An option to change the text size would make it better.
4 ★The more I use this app I love it. I did notice a BUG, for example Aagaard Excel at Chess, Bronstien v Yusopov 34 f4! is incorrectly rendered, bummer. Same with Acs v Ruck 16.f4...the issue is handling double pawns. Please fix because it takes away from an otherwise great app. Suggestions would be to keep track of where you are, so when you are "flipping" between books, you can track what game you are looking at. Maybe even the move you are on? Even better would be to keep track between devices ala Kindle where I can read on the tablet when I am stationary, or on my phone standing in line at the airport... Oh, and BTW if there is anyway to get Averbach's Chess Tactics for Advanced Players on your reader, that would be awesome!, Keep up the good work!
3 ★the app is a good viewer. but it needs a lot of enhancement. I can't put a bookmark, I can't highlight or add my own notes on parts of the text. It does't remember where I stopped so everytime I have to re-open the book and the page and the paragraph I was in the last time. It needs a lot of updates to be a great reader.
5 ★I wish we had the ability to resize the chessboard. But in the future hopefully they will change that. I also wish we had the ability to just play through the main line by having a way to turn off the variations to focus on the main line and then come back later and look at the other variations. it's easy to forget the mainline having a mess with the variations but over all a great app with a great selection of books..
4 ★I'm so glad this is available now. I've thought for a while that Chess book publishers were missing an opportunity to exploit mobile platforms. The books available through Everyman Chess are the most up to date. There are several improvements I'd like to see, and that's the only reason for 4, instead of 5 stars. Resizable text, better navigation within the book, the ability to manually move the pieces on the board, and a chess engine for analysis, are features I'd like to see. Support is excellent, and they told me they were working on the two features I mentioned to them, so I bet it'll be 5 stars soon! Regardless, if you want to read a chess book, do it this way!
4 ★I found a bug when two consecutive pawns move to 4th rank, for example game between Rapport and Aronian at Tata 2014
5 ★I AM SPEECHLESS!
5 ★Great App
4 ★The reader does not work properly in my Sansung Galaxy Note. One cannot return from a chapter to the main menu. With such limitation, the reader is quite useless in the phone. UPDATE: Indeed, the reader works fine using the android back arrow. Thanks a lot! Another suggestion would be to try to separate the chessboard from the text of the book, using two independent frames, for better reading. But the app works fine.
3 ★The book reading app interface is cumbersome at best, it's glitchy, there is no "Help Menu", & if you go to "Settings", the only option is to change the color of the board! It does however enable one to purchase Everyman Chess books, but even their store has GLITCHES! I bought Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov book one, but it won't let me purchase book two! I get the following error. Message: "Item you are attempting to purchase not found". Even a year later on a different phone, I still get that message!
