Must have for chess lovers or those just learning. But can be really aggravating because it locks you out or loses your state too easily. For example, you can't go back to analyze the puzzles you just did if you hit the back arrow. If you choose the wrong time limit for puzzles and try to redo it before doing any puzzles, it locks you out until the next day. Tried to give feedback but the in-app link for that went somewhere else.

Although I have far more apps than are practical, this is the only game on my phone or computer. It's also among the top five apps on my phone that I use regularly. If you enjoy the greatest game ever invented, this will be a winner for you. It is far from perfect, but still wonderful. They really need to fix the "CHAT." Wonder to another app for a second, or even rotate your phone and everything just typed in the CHAT feature, but not sent to your opponent, might permanently disappear.
