## Review summary

Reviewers praise this app for its feature-rich engine and solid PGN support, including puzzles and blunder checking for learning. However, multiple reviews note a confusing UI and the absence of a built-in two-player mode, with some stability quirks after switching apps. Overall, it’s seen as a powerful, study-focused chess tool with UX caveats.

### Pros

- Engine power with multiple levels and full engine analysis, plus a built-in 2-player mode.
- Strong PGN support: import/export, move-by-move navigation, and saving to an in-app library.
- Learning-focused features like puzzles and blunder checking to help improve play.
- Advanced analysis tools such as PGN comments and interactive analysis graphs.

### Cons

- Unintuitive, cluttered user interface that makes features hard to access.
- Lacks a straightforward built-in two-player mode, limiting local play.
- Occasional stability or navigation inconsistencies after app switching.
