edit: still cannot log in. absolutely wild. non-functional after years of stability. I updated to the new UI and despite the jarring changes I thought I would give it a shot except for the fact that I cannot log in? I click the button, get taken to a webpage, sign in and authorize the app, and... nothing? shame.




I like it! You guys did a good job with the remake. Much cleaner and such. Fix a few UI bugs like tooltips showing up off screen, make it easier to resume games (including with the computer) and have multiple games and so forth, and give me more control and let me do what I want from any screen. Stuff like that. Then I'll give it 5 stars. Love the practice mode, where it critiques stuff!




The UI I could care less about, but the AI has been drastically overhauled, at least at the lower levels. I'm a beginner who is learning through practicing vs the computer and I was getting to the point where I could beat Stockfish 3 on the old app about 60% of the time. Stockfish 3 on the new app is a cakewalk, making a ton of blunders, but also plays unreasonably aggressive, so I decided to try 4, which plays a very unorthodox, aggressive style which feels very bad for learning.




The app is performant, customizable, and has more functionality than the legacy app. However, there's one thing which was initially confusing. When opening the account page by tapping your profile image in the upper right, it opens "in" the home/puzzles/learn/etc. page you're currently in. For example, if I open the account page in Puzzles, move to Home, then move back to Puzzles, the account page will reopen, which is unexpected; I would expect to go directly to Puzzles.




I am guessing the latest update improved things behind the scenes. The UX is worse. Still a good free chess app, just a bit annoying to use. I'll be more specific: 1.App takes longer to load. 2.I've customized the home screen to include the item I want (Puzzles); clicking that doesn't show a puzzle, as expected, but instead shows my stats. 3.Clicking Puzzles at the bottom of that screen *also* doesn't give me a puzzle. I need to scroll down again to find what I want. 4.There are more, no space.
