Good but โ€ฆ

Update: Got the app to work. However,
1. Navigation is a PITA. All options should be organized under drop down menus.
2. Numbers for some Advanced settings can be changed; some cannot.
3. Not clear what all of those advanced options are. Also, why is there a Strength option and an ELO setting.
4. ELO is set really low and it is tedious to increase it to a desired level.
5. It is too easy to inadvertently move pieces. Touch and drop would work better than drag and drop.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear youโ€™ve had issues, does nothing happen when you click the Analyse button? What engine were you using?

Huh?

I am a very experienced chess player, but havenโ€™t a clue how this app works. It seems to start off in setup mode. I make some moves and see no analysis or any response, even though I have an engine set up.

Amazing: Fast, Local, customisable.

Absolutely incredible with the local and remote models, 100% would recommend this app.

Good

Good app for chess except itโ€™s kind of slow

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, slow in regard to remote bot usage? Or the actual app itself? Would love to try and improve this for you.

It needs a higher cpu

Try getting a better cpu to use with it so itโ€™s depth is higher that would set you out from the other competitors and stand this app out has the best stockfish app and site
