User Reviews

Would be a good app if it worked consistently. It moves or doesn’t at whim. Can’t make sense of why, sometimes, it won’t move or won’t let me move. Move Now doesn’t work.

If I click on Options, Level, the window swipes momentarily to the respective window then immediately swipes back ti the board not allowing me to make any changes. Very frustrating as I only downloaded this app to play against Lc0 engine and I can't change it! Please fix! I will try compiling it from source next from your github to test. Ios 14.8 on iPhone 7.
