Yesterday I would have said this app deserves a 10. Today it sucks! You used to be able to get a lot of short courses for free, and I was learning a few, then I open it up to practice and suddenly the courses I have been working on are pro-exclusive. I get that they need to make money, but I can't pay for pro and I can't buy the big courses. Those short free ones were awesome! I put hours into them. Now, I'm probably gonna delete my account and stop recommending chessable to people.

You can spend $100 on a video course, and still have to pay a monthly subscription fee to cache your video for online viewing. There's also no way to jump to the video timestamp for a variation. Rating the app as a companion to the two courses I splurged and purchased the video for, I have to rate 1 star. Given that those video purchases were so expensive I think it's fair to ask to view them offline without an additional subscription.

Pretty sure I just lost my streak after updating the app. I wish there was a way to review a random set of variations whenever I wanted. I also don't like landing in the middle of a variation when reviewing... I'd rather play the line from the start. I bought a subscription but the app just hung...only saw the spinner. Now after restarting the app, it's not seeing my subscription. If I try to buy the subscription again, it gives an error.
