A little frustrating

I’ve bought Moskalenko’s “Even more flexible French”. I’ve found that there are many moves in the text which do not bring up the chessboard when clicked. And many moves get an exclamation mark with no further explanation, which is tough for a very modest club player like me. I try to get the chess engine to clarify, but it is intensely fiddly. However, I’d still recommend the book.

Still too hard to find purchases

Love the concept, purchases should show up in my library. I have to scroll in the store till I find them. Also the app crashes some time ps when loading a book. Maybe due to the new book format they are moving to. Fix these primer issues and could be a 5 star

Library issues and more…

As several reviewers noted, finding books purchased in your library is somewhat of a hit and miss. In addition, while the available content is great, the experience of using the app is not great. There is no option of highlighting text, bookmarking pages or entering comments on text or positions.

Good board

Dry good price keep it up

Too hard to find your purchased books

First, there is no dedicated search field. Once you purchase a book you have to scroll through all the books to find the one you own. There is no filter for books you own and don't own. The app user experience is poor.
Second, the font formatting and font color doesn't make it obvious to the eye which moves are a variation, viewable in the chess viewer, or a simple comment. Several times I tapped on the move notation and it was not viewable in the game viewer.
