Version 0.23.14
designperformance_and_bugsfeature_requestsI 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!

Version 0.23.14
designfeature_requestsThe 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.

Version 0.23.13
performance_and_bugsdesignI 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.
