Updated Review

Hi Antoine, Thank you for responding to my review and implementing those changes, one other thing I noticed is the “memorize and solve” section also seems to be reusing the same few positions, also when I try to do “expert mode” for memorize and solve I am just met with a black screen, it appears others are facing the same issue because the expert leaderboard for memorize and solve just has one name on it from two months ago, thank you so much for listening and all your hard work on this amazing app!

Thanks again for the detailed feedback! You were right on both points: Expert in Memorize & Solve showed a black screen for most players, and the puzzles repeated too often. Both are fixed in an update that is rolling out now (restart the app once or twice to get it). Every level now serves full-length puzzles and rotates through them. Let me know how it goes! — Antoine

Really good app but needs a couple improvements

This is an amazing app for visualization with a very nice UI reminiscent of duolingo, there are just two minor improvements I think it could benefit from 1. In the position recall exercises, it repeats the positions pretty often, I don’t know how large the bank of positions are but it definitely needs to be increased I’m not sure if other exercises have this issue because I have not done all of them but this makes the position recall almost unplayable after a few rounds 2. I think the bank of historical games should be turned into a test where after seeing the game it tests you on what was played and when, it seems like this was the original intention so hopefully it is a feature soon, thank you.

Thank you so much for the kind words and the precise feedback! You were right about Position Memory: every new session drew from the whole bank again, so positions came back far too soon. The next update fixes it: you will see every position before any repeat, and each level grows to 400 positions. A famous games quiz, where you replay the moves from memory, also ships in that update. Thanks for helping make DarkSquares better!
