Ratings and reviews

It has a potential but for now it lacks crucial basic features and some are broken. • Fix PGN Viewer (Some games inside were gone for some reason) • Add an option to analyze it yourself without an engine (like Acid Ape Chess or Chessbase where engine is on standby mode) and annotations on the move such as !, ?!, !!, ??, !?, ∆ . • Fix issues on non-embedded Chess Engines with newer network architecture that won't run in the GUI. • Add a new 2D and 3D piece and board theme.

1 .Many Bugs.. suddenly close in engine vs engine 2. Setting not working properly 3.The piece animation cause the low taping response 4.pieces hard to tap.. not smooth when you tap the pieces 5. No disable screen time out Conculsion.. The app is very frustrating when you play the bullet game , blitz and rapid game

Great App, there is an issue on Android 11+ where it wont allow you to add uci engines to the app. Also, the engine name cannot contain spaces... Please allow Access to all files on Android 11+ to be able to use uci engines! Thank you!
