Far more usable than the web version. Erasing the free review, which is already minimal (only overall graphics and moves performance counter) in the web version is really a dicc...ss..appointing move. I hope in the future this mobile version doesn’t slowly descend into the abyss like the web one. (It’s a good thing you can just quickly import the game to lichess. Email me if you guys want to know how. )

It was one of the best apps, but lately I get timed out as the app doesn't pick network during games or puzzle battle. I have lost 20-30 puzzle battle rating and atleast 15-20 blitz rating due to some connection issue. All my other apps work fine on my phone. I tried to find customer support, but the link doesn't lead anywhere. Please look into it. I have already left lichess because of a number of reasons, don't want to leave this also. Its frustrating to lose rating without having my fault.

I really like the app. Finding the game as quick and easy. The games versus the computer is very competitive for skill level. My only knock when I'm playing the computer for practice I don't have the choice of being black or white. Or, I have yet to find the setting that allows randomization of black and white or just a button that will allow me to choose black or white.

Hi! After choosing a bot, on the next screen you can choose your color at the top. :)

Hey, chess-lovers! This new version brings improvements and fixes throughout the app - and some great new features too!

* Level up your Puzzle practice by earning points for every correct move. Keep solving to advance and earn new scoring bonuses!
* Game Review now estimates your rating in that match - and shows how well you played at each stage of the game!
* In Daily Chess, you can now "program" moves to be triggered automatically when your opponent makes a move you expected!

Thank you!
