Can we please get a dark mode appearance?
I love the app. Strikes me as the most efficient way to improve your game. Devs are super responsive too!
I like this game
Thanks for the continuous updates! Emailed you some more bugs you can look into, when you have time ;)

Thanks for the continued support and great suggestions. I looked into the /paste API and the chrome extension and unfortunately we cannot leverage it in that way (we'd have to make you log in to Lichess through our app first). There is a way to link/export a PGN to lichess.org, but it doesn't work if you have the app installed. So for now we'd rather stick to FEN export that is guaranteed to work for all users. You might want to request PGN support in the Lichess GitHub repo or that they prevent those links from opening in the app. I’ve played chess for years. So often an app feels like you are playing a computer. This app feels like you are playing a human. I love the layout. I love the colors and ease of use. I hope they continue to keep it updated and current. The only problem I’ve found is the layout in portrait mode on iPad. Please correct this soon. It cuts off the chess board when you go into portrait mode on iPad. Thanks! Keep up the good work.

Thank you for review – we're thrilled that you like it! We got so happy from the review that we made a proper iPad layout for you along with a bunch of other improvements. Just update the app!Hi again, thanks for the many fixes. One suggestion is that, from review page, in addition to opening position on lichess, there be a button to open PGN on lichess. You can look up a chrome extension called “analyze ChessCom on lichess” for an idea. They use lichess.org/paste I believe. Thanks!

You might want to request PGN support in the Lichess GitHub repo or that they prevent those links from opening in the app. If I capture a queen that was originally a pawn, the material difference breaks: say I have a pawn and you have nothing, I’m +1 (material wise, not talking about eval…). I promote to a Queen, I’m now +9. If you take my Queen, I’m now +0. But: in a game, if I make a Queen and you capture it, I’m overall simply -1, but material difference will be -8, since a Queen was captured, but really it was a pawn. EDIT: I tried exporting but don’t see how. I should note that I tried after game ended and leaving game page. On app home it says “review game”, and I don’t see an export option there, and if I click review, then I can go through the moves (1 by 1, which isn’t best, having a tappable list would help to jump to moves), but don’t see any way to export. Maybe as of now it’s only available immediately after game ends? Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback! Exporting PGN is a great idea – we added it in the latest version and added support for FEN and Lichess too while we were at it. We'll look into the other bug as well, although I don't fully understand the problem yet – feel free to join our Discord and explain further there if you want or shoot us an email at contact@noctie.ai. If I capture a queen that was originally a pawn, the material difference breaks. Also: allow exporting PGN after game. Thanks.
Edit: I’ll try to export next time I play!
As per the bug: say I have a pawn and you have nothing, I’m +1 (material wise, not talking about eval…). I promote to a Queen, I’m now +9. If you take my Queen, I’m now +0. But: in a game, if I make a Queen and you capture it, I’m overall simply -1, but material difference will be -8, since a Queen was captured, but really it was a pawn. Hope that clarifies. I don’t have discord. But if this doesn’t suffice I’ll happily email you. Thank you.
