**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! SquareSight is still evolving and we’re actively refining the experience with frequent updates. Our newest update released yesterday. The goal isn’t to compete directly with traditional platforms like Chess.com, but to explore new ways of understanding chess through visual board control, overlays, and analysis. We’re focused on innovating and carving out our own space in the chess community, and we appreciate you giving it a try — we hope you’ll check back as the app continues to improve.
