Very good trainer. A few minor improvements are required. Most importantly the location of buttons needs to change. Buttons should be bigger. And the backward function should be undoable.

Best repertoire app ever. Especially for begginers, because premade courses tend to be overwhelming with all the subvariations. App is so flexible and has so many options. Colours are just spot-on. And voice pronouncing squares' names helps me remember the line easier. This is just perfection.

Bought this app but it still shows me thr Get Pro link doesn't show me the uninstall button and there's no sigh that I purchased it. Except for the transaction ID in my bank. Is this a rip-off or just first time bad luck.
