Same aesthetic as the desktop website, but formatted specifically for mobile. In my opinion, this is a good thing and works very nicely. There are bugs here and there, but nothing serious enough to interrupt gameplay (for me at least). However, one notable negative I have is that the "Settings" page is a bit difficult to navigate for newer users. On a more positive note, there are a lot of theme options that allow you to fully customize gameplay (the looks of the board, pieces, backdrop, etc).

Weekly lessons? I really only have an issue with that. Move it to daily and it's fine, I get pushing your premium version is important but throw some ads in or something if you have to I just want to learn the game without having to worry about a subscription fee. Otherwise very nice and clean UI, easy enough to use, overall very good for a mobile app

Thank you for this feedback. Don't forget that all lessons are unlocked with any level of premium membership! Basic members can still do one lesson per week, and we offer a free 7-day free Diamond membership trial.

Fantastic app that has taken me from slightly advanced beginner to moderate skill level. I use the free version but I maximize my learning by taking advantage of all the features whenever I can: the daily puzzle, three additional puzzles every day, and a weekly lesson. I tried 8 other chess apps. This one, hands down. I did submit a couple suggestions on how to improve the app, but those are minor tweaks focused on learning that, without, doesn't take away from the experience by any means.
