Comments:
I would like autoplay to be even faster, let us say, 0,5s per move. 1s seems too slow, and I never use it although I like this feature. Also the font of the players' names is too big, gigantic, they have not enough space on the screen. Please, make the font much smaller on order for the White and the Black's names be properly displayed on the screen of a smartphone.
Perfect ever app and a pgn tool for android platform, i recommend it to all chess lovers. If three more options are added, it will be a brilliant app ever, (example) 1. A Seperate autoplay button. 2. An engine evaluiton bar. 3. an arrow during analyzing best move. Thanks and best regards
I used it on several devices and it is very good application. However, on my HTC Desire 816g, the import does not work for both pgn (it says couldn't open log file) and twic which can't be downloaded.Yes it is true it can only read from the main acid directory on phone storage. Please resolve this bug. But I can't play online from twice as well.
An almost perfect app. The only missing thing is the position search not available in the search header + not being able to add more lines in engine analysis output. I know some chess pros on android that use this app, it tells everything. Not a single flaw/slowdown with the whole Mega Database 2021 used in a scid si4 format, search is quicker than in ChessBase. It is really sad that this app is apparently not supported anymore ... (Chess PGN Master is not at all at the same level ...)
Love this app, but now when I try and import PGN files I get a message that it was unable to open the log file and it does not import. This is not an issue for the built in TWIC downloads.'
