I have twice over the years downloaded this, only to remember that the name is misleading. It (I presume!) converts THE GAMES in a chessbase relational DATABASE (on the order of 14 related files) to a (single) .pgn file. On phones (mostly Android), .pgn is the file type used. (They're in fact text files, which is funny...) As noted by one of the previous reviewers, text entries *don't* convert, in fact never seem to get into .pgns. Paradoxical of a sort. .CBH is just the extension of the main file per database, and it has the icon to it. Nowadays if you have a lone .CBH file it won't open in Chessbase.

it cannot copy the text file in the cbh file. it only converts the games to pgn. the apps saves time in converting cbh to pgn. if it can also save the text file on the pgn it will be superb.

Was about to spent hours converting CBH books into pgn via database creation/copy/paste in Fritz.. for reading/analysis on phone with Droidfish. Luckily found this neat app that can do the whole thing in seconds!! (Dev - It would be nice to able to change/set pgn) destination folder. Thnx again!!
