## Review summary

Reviews praise the scan feature and built-in Stockfish for learning and analysis but highlight reliability and performance flaws: server/connectivity problems, instability and overheating, slow/scant scanning, a clunky UI, and limited support. Core features are valued, but reliability needs major fixes.

### Pros

- Powerful scanning/board recognition feature that users find impressive and useful.
- In-app Stockfish engine provides strong analysis and supports engine work.
- Good for learning and suitable for both beginners and advanced players.
- Easy to use and generally helpful for analyzing moves.
- Strong overall concept for chess analysis and engine work.

### Cons

- Frequent server/connectivity issues (internal server errors, login/subscription blocks, SSL errors).
- Performance and stability problems (app hangs during analysis, long think times, crashes/restarts, overheating, high CPU/battery drain).
- Poor UI/UX design (bad UI, clunky).
- Scanning reliability issues (doesn't scan well, misidentifies pieces, slow processing).
- Support access and website issues (in-app support breaks, site access problems).
