How to mute the sound of moves? Really loud during commute. Other than that great app for tactics.

Very good tactics training, high quality exercises, that include also defensive moves, perpetual checks, and other calculation training plus endgame exercises. Opening training based on space repetition is also useful. Guess the game is OK, although I would like to have option to upload games. I like board themes and piece sets. Lack of offline mode.

Overall a great app, I'd give it 5 stars if it didn't zip through lines SUPER fast and have me just play the last move of my opening. I'd like to always go through the manual process but if I'm dumb and that can be fixed in settings let me know.
