there’s ads now

world #24 here, there were never ads for this game, and there’s now banner ads and ads that come after solving puzzles. the app requires internet too since its just a chess.com api so there’s no way around it. play lichess

Missing one feature

Amazing app. Just missing the button to go back and review the solution after solving.

To many ads

Unplayable, not possible to get into the zone because every 2 puzzles you see a terrible add for one of those trash games. I’m willing to watch ads no problem, but not every 2 puzzles!

Kludgy User Interface

Didn’t like the UI for moving pieces at all. No way to navigate back to previous puzzles. Uninstalled.
