Ratings and reviews

Please for the love of God, add the option to analyze imported games and get accuracy percentages and stuff like that...You can do the mentioned with games played on the platform, but there is no option to do so with imported ones. I waited for this update for so long, I really do not see why they do not add it, it is like they absolutely forgot about it...Please consider adding it in the future updates 🙏🙏, everything else is awesome!

The UI looks more slick that what I assume to be the legacy app, but I can't find the option of importing a PGN anymore. It seems like the app only offers some subset of the original functionality. Personally I care more about features and usability than the UI (otherwise I'd just stick to their commercial competitor). I understand it's still a Beta.

The new UI is a serious downgrade, why fix something that isn't broken? Everything is squashed and messed up visually. Could you just put an option in the settings for people who prefer the way the app looked before to use the old user interface? I can no longer see the game variation either!? This would be a 5 star rating if you just left it how it was before the UI overhaul, it "was" perfect.
