Ratings and reviews

Can a Settings option be added to change the time scale of the 'Rank progress' and 'Rating progress' graphs? I played one tournament a decade ago, and now play more regularly, but the scale on my profile is...a decade, and I don't think I can zoom in to see how I've done (more closely) in say, the last 6 months.

I've been using the app for a while and it works well. Starting Jan 1st 2024 the IFPA made top 250 players utilize the pro ranking system instead of the open. So this app doesn't display the reality for those top 250 anymore. I would have assumed the reason for no update was that the app is no longer developed, but I saw it got an update in June. Another drop-down for the ranking type would suffice. Probably would be good to think about how to hint to the user after 250 users to switch to open.

Good way to quickly check your status. Could use some work though, regularly freezes up and the UI is a bit wonky. Overall I'm just happy there's a mobile app! 8/15/23 Update: text no longer appears for the Tournament Results, PVP and Championship Series buttons.
