Ratings and reviews

It's good app. I like the fact that the puzzles get harder as you progress unlike random puzzle apps out there. The calming background music is a plus. However, it would be awesome if you put sound effect when pices move. It would be satisfying to hear a capture sound during play. The other is it doesn't disable the lockscreen unlike other games. Screen locks during play if you take time to think.

I like what I can see from the tactic section. But, unfortunately, it's almost unplayable. When it works it lags extremely bad. I can do one tactic, maybe two , then it just basically locks up. I wait until android system gives options to close app or wait on app. I have tried choosing 'wait'. But doesn't help. I need to close and restart app. Then maybe I can solve one tactic , but then it basically, locks up again. Even when it works, it lags 15-30 seconds trying to move pieces.

FANTASTIC app. I love the settings- you can change the board and peices, and set it to pause after you solve (otherwise it advances to the next puzzle too quickly imo). The puzzles are excellent as well. One cool improvement would be for the computer to refute moves you try that aren't the best to clearly show why they aren't the best. Thank you to the developers!
