App lacks a lot of features compared to the web version and is very buggy. For example, it's very disappointing there isn't a lobby feature in the app but a correspondance feature that less people use than the lobby feature. This is why I tried playing in the web version in mobile but the screen zooms in and out in ultrabullet. Unfortunately, I have low hopes and expectations this message will get through. Thanks.

I love the app, but I'd like to suggest a function. For the puzzles, it'd be helpful to know how many moves are required for the solve. That might make it too easy so I suggest a hint button similar to the "view solution button" but to tell you how many moves to plan for. Sometimes showing the next move helps, but it can lessen the challenge too much, or it seems unintuitive because there's a series of 5 moves to account for when I expect to do it in 1-2 more moves. (Sorry for 1 star review)

One of the better cross platform chess apps out there. Works well from Wi-Fi and cellular (3g or better). There's a lack of consistency between mobile app, web app, and desktop versions. Needs to have better social features as it's hard to find your friends and chat notifications are non-existent. Android version freezes after playing from a notification (versus launching the app).
