User reviews
Great app for playing chess, but the subscriptions are too expensive, they need to drop the upper tiers lower. Especially when you keep in mind that LiChess is offering some similar things but without the subscription. Was really bummed to see no deal for black friday, still hoping it maybe comes to fruition.

Who's idea it was to remove the back and forth button while playing bots? That single feature change ruined my whole experience. I'm actually struggling to go back on the app and enjoy the game. I like to see how things evolve, and this makes it very hard and not fun at all. There are tons of online reviewers who also hate this feature passionately. It's very idiotic.

Great app but buggy. The review always bugd out and stops working forcing me to redo it. Also, why if your moves are already premoved does it take up time? Ill premove 4 moves ahead and each time itll take up half a second or more. Whats the point in pre moving? Pls fix these issues. Also, add more time before disconnecting a player if his internet cuts out. Ive lost a ton of games bc of my internet cutting out for a minute.
