Ratings and reviews

The engine lines during analysis are wrong. The continuations shown are not what the engine is "thinking." It can even be something very obvious like the line says Mate in 2 but the continuation is not Mate in 2. This bug makes analysis cumbersome because you have to follow the line manually to see how it plays out. It's only on the phone app, not the desktop version. Edit: need to be able to include screenshots in the bug report. Is a support email available?

Game review looks horrible now. I only wish there was an option to go back to the classic look, like how you can turn puzzle points off and go back to elo. edit: the app got worse. Now in puzzles, nearly *every* sacrifice shows the move as brilliant. Other than that, I like the new elo system as I hit well over 2,500 with the old one (less than 700 elo in rapid btw), and I like that I'm getting harder puzzles more often now. I actually have to use my brain in puzzles now.

Why have the ads while restricting the game reviews and puzzles so much? If you're going to still restrict game review, maybe don't make it the biggest brightest button after every game. Also, why make the explorer function even limited at all? So many things constantly telling me to subscribe to the app. Maybe I'd consider it if it was a one time purchase, but from how stingy and money focused everything seems, I'd never be tempted to pay for this app just to improve my chess.
