Ratings and reviews

Been playing for a week. It's a fun format but I'm not convinced that encouraging people to play fast helps them get better. It's strange that you lose the same number of rating points for getting it wrong as you do for being 1 second slower than the global average. Fun game but don't believe the promises about it helping you to improve in rela otb chess. For that I think you need to slow down and practice calculating more...

Enjoying the app so far. I have a few suggestions: There should be a toggle to auto swipe if we get the puzzle right. The hint could be: piece, than movement, not give the complete answer of the puzzle. There could be a more distinct cue if we are black or white. When there's no internet connection more puzzles should have been downloaded.

Amazing app! There are no ads, there is a user friendly UI, and have great puzzles. One thing I will stress is that the streak display is currently broken. I have a 15 day streak and it is stuck at 6 on the leader board display. Other than that, pretty good game!
