Great free puzzles except unable to login

Unable to login despite repeated attempts of logging in with Apple ID or google accounts. The login will say successful, however, there will be no update about the login in application. All processes reset to starting value (1000elo) and history/ review chapters remain unlocked.

In application feedback is also not functioning.


iOS 26.6.1, application version 2.8.0

review

it is what it is

My fav app, dead. So sad

They updated a while back and a bunch of features broke, like rating, then ability to control the strength of puzzles, so you had to start back to mate in ones, but since rating also broke, you just stayed stuck solving the worst puzzles. Then a slight change allowed me to at least control the rating range, but that broke really bad, went haywire and now it just does this scanning thing after opening app, but it continues to do it forever. I havenโ€™t been able to get past opening screen no matter what I do.

Sucks, this was the best chess app ever. Now I have to go do scrabble puzzles for mental exercise, uck.

Decent

Like the app a lot. At first it asked for a review after every puzzle. That is the only reason I didnโ€™t give it 5 stars.

Response from developer
