Review summary

The app is widely loved for practice and quick game review, and praised for its lightweight, engine-backed design. However, reliability and data handling are recurring concerns: several users report the app not working, saving/storing PGN data is problematic, and there are UI/visual display issues on certain devices.

Pros

Great for practicing chess and quickly reviewing recent games.
Lightweight, visually appealing layout, with an engine included and no ads.
Overall positive and consistently praised as a top chess app.

Cons

Not functioning reliably: multiple reviews report that the app doesn't work or crashes.
Cannot save games or locate saved PGN files consistently.
UI/visual display issues on some devices: font size problems, unreadable opponent names, and visibility problems with pieces/icons in dark themes.

2026-03-03	Th*****	I would like the "review mode" to flip the board, and to automatically load the next game just like the "study mode" does. Or an option to show notation in the "study mode" could be helpful. Also in tactics mode it does not take into account other variations. The app has lot of room for improvement to the user's needs.
