I love chess and this app is really good with all its features. But I'm really disappointed in how the in-game purchases work. They proposed a free trial of 7 days to test all the premium things. I took the most expensive one, thinking that I would downgrade it to the cheapest one before the end of the trial. But SURPRISE ! 2 days later I was debited without respecting the free trial or anything. I will still continue to use this app because I paid but I'm so angry.

I've been playing this game for years now. The app itself is great, the bots, the puzzles, and the analysis. Overall rate—10/10. I just cooked one of my best matches. I suggest adding a new list of games beside the Game History. It would be great if there were a feature where I can save my best games. So that finding a specific game is easy when i need it like showing my brilliant moves to my pears. And that we can display on our profile like a playlist.

Great for learning but when playing bots it would better (in my opinion) if you could do take back on the last move rather than it ending the game completely so you can learn from your mistake and replay it so you can try a different move, I'm very new to chess and often end in a draw or get check mated without seeing it coming and although you can review the game and see where you went wrong I think it would help me at least to be able to take back the game ending move and continue.

Thank you for this detailed feedback. We'll explore this possibility, since it makes sense that players might want to continue the game differently if it ends with a sudden checkmate or sudden draw.
