Please make sure you’re using the latest version of the app. If the issue persists, try restarting the app. If you still can’t unlock the next game, please contact us through in-app support so we can investigate and fix this for you. ### 3/5 — Great app, but ads. *2025-09-22* AMAZING app. So much to learn. Fun bot gameplay, chess exercises and concepts explained in a way I’ve never seen in an app before. But ads are annoying. Please add a way to pay to get rid of them. And don’t make it something stupid like 10$. I wouldn’t mind pay 3 bucks or so to get rid of the constant pop up ads. **Developer response:** Thank you for the great feedback — we’re really happy you’re enjoying the app Just to clarify: we already offer a subscription option that removes ads and also unlocks extra features like game analysis, unlimited puzzles, and more. We appreciate your suggestion and support as we continue improving the app! ### 4/5 — Quirky *2026-02-16* Major flaw: it does not recognize en passant, in the puzzles and the Arcade games. Emails to Support bounce. ? Nice features. But forces you to start at the weakest bot. But, I worked my way up and beat it at 2750, once so far. The analysis is nicely presented, giving you the chance to find the best moves for either side. One issue: if I choose Play The Computer, I can opt for Black, White, or Random. Now, if I play the bots, I get a streak of playing only W or only B. Please make this random. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback — and congrats on working your way up, that’s impressive Starting from the weakest bot is a deliberate part of the progression system, but we understand it may not suit everyone and we’ll keep this in mind. The crash after completing a puzzle or game is definitely not expected — sorry about that.

But, I worked my way up and just now beat it at 2700 for the first time. The app is no longer crashing. So, I am able to do the puzzles. Also, can now access the analysis after each game. Nicely done with 2-step hints and the line resulting from the best move. One issue: if I choose Play The Computer, I can opt for Black, White, or Random.
