Ratings and reviews

This is a nice compilation of engines. I would love to see more of them added. If you search for Android chess engines, there is an article from 2014 with a dropbox link that is more recently updated with many engines. Some are older and won't run on modern devices well, but many were compiled in 2018 and work great in modern Android GUIs. Perhaps you could check it out.

Cannot import engines and the official one is limited to only a few ones. They could at least have extended the collection to include open source ones. Engine vs Engine is missing.

whats the use of giving mere engines without an interface to play with when free engines and interfaces are so easily available?also elo strength of most the engines cannot be adjusted for handicapped play even with your native interface acid ape chess se which is freely available etc.
