The puzzles are fun and interesting, and you they definitely teach you something about the game. The app does not do as well with scoring same result alternatives or making sure players actually understand WHY some lines are better than others. Pegging play to ELO is a super nice advantage of this app over others, but the occasional error, and the failure to explain, undermine the user's confidence in the rating and, ultimately, app's pedagogic value.

Very fine implementation, excellent puzzles,the elo rating is +300 . Only one little thing bugs me about it.Every time I park the App for whatever reason, when I go back to it I often find it has loaded or moved on to a new puzzle when I hadn't finished or given up on the old one. I find this very frustrating.Sometimes if a puzzle really interests me , I take a screenshot of it and load it into another App where I can study it at my ease and not be left wondering what the solution was.

Update: after the last update the opposite side moves often don't show until I restart the app. Please fix. I love this app and the puzzles. I have only two suggestions. Please, add the ability to switch to short chess notation. Also, sometimes when I am solving the puzzle and decide to take a look at it later on, and quit the app, once I load the app back, the previous puzzle is gone, and I have to solve a different one. Can you please fix that? Everything else is just great!

Very pleased with this carefully-written app. Great graphics and a wide selection of puzzles (4,823 in the free version). Can be used offline. The puzzles' difficulty goes up or down according to whether you solve them or not. Also very good is the ability to review a puzzle at the end, solved or not. The app downloads Stockfish 10 to further analyse the position. Improvements? A later edition of Stockfish, and perhaps the option to choose puzzles by theme. Edited

I like the tactics app really much. It is one of the best out there and I tried a lot of them. I have two requests for further improvements. To be able to use the app in landscape mode. And an option to jump quickly to the start or to end of the variation by long pressing the forward or backward button, in the Solution and Analysis view. Maybe by pressing the navigation button by one second or so. Than a quick press on the navigation button would move one move forwards or backward, (like it is now). And a longer press, (one second or so), on the navigation button would jump to the start or to the end of the variation.
