Ratings and reviews

I like the app very much, but there are strange things happening on my phone when I use it and switch to another app. Today I could not close down my phone after switching to another app or type when I was in a calendar app. It seems like the software could be spyware. Hopefully, it's not as I liked the app, but now I am afraid to use it.

Works great, I love having a quick way to setup a board while reading a chess book with just a scan. Then I can play along, get analysis, or even start from the current position against the computer. Outputting a game to a video file is simply brilliant. Adding the move list to the side of the board in the video would be a pretty cool addition. Make a pro version so you can take my money.

I'm not sure what the other reviewer is talking about, I've been able to import pictures from my gallery for free for two years now. It was somewhat inaccurate in the past with identifying piece placements, but I haven't had any major issues with it. It's been a wonderful tool for helping me while I do OTB analysis of previous games or when analyzing why a move may be bad in videos I watch.
