Great app, but I'm having difficulty advancing in difficulty. I play a few games a day and have for the last couple of months. I'm currently able to always beat the computer at level 2 (roughly 920 Elo) and can easily identify the parts in the game where the computer makes a stupid mistake and I win. However, going 1 step up to level 3 (roughly 1122 Elo), I am unable to win at all. The skill difference between 920 and 1122 is too steep and has become frustrating. Needs a intermediate step!!!

Thank you for the feedback. Different human play styles may find some cpu styles and strategies easier than others. Have you tried the Tutor or Hint (on Menu) to help make the game easier and aid learning, to ease the step up to next level?

Just tried the online multiplayer. I was on the verge of winning and somehow i "resigned" after submitting the winning move. No time play or anything. There's either a bug that my opponent took advantage of, or he resigned but it was attributed to me somehow. The multiplayer needs better controls or options to fix this. That and my other opponents just abandoning the game when they're losing. Thete should be some sort of move timer.

Great app, simple interface but many features. The multiplayer mode is great to play with friends, and single player offers 12 difficulty levels with roughly corresponding ELO levels. You can also change the look of the app and the pieces you play with. I prefer this style over some of the 3D options as the 2D board is easier to see. You can also take back a move in single player, and review game in all modes. Not sure if there are any features I would want to add, so I'd say it's great!
