Great app with one big flaw... I took the offer of a free trial, and liked playing Magnus at various ages so much I let the first month expire and I had it on autopay. The very instant the trial period ran out, after they took the subscription fee, the app reverted to the free version complete with ads. I could do absolutely nothing about it and so I just unsubscribed, losing the money due to the no refund policy. Now I would like to pay for the features, but just can't. Frustrating.

The app is good. There does seem to be a big jump in skill from 7 to 8 then from 11 to 12. Must be the gap between beginner, intermediate, and advanced I was trying to purchase the beginner package just so I can get the ad-free and advantage meter. But I cant get to the purchase page so I cant actually buy it. A bit annoying. It just keeps loading and nothing happens.

Well, I was rather disappointed with the app. While the free version has some limited functionality, the tactics puzzles are often times flawed. To be sure, I have analyzed some of the positions with an engine and puzzles have been known to be wrong. For example, on level 41 alone, I had 2 puzzle errors in a row. If the developers somehow manage to see this, I can send you photos. Please check your puzzles with an engine (there are sometimes more than one correct answer).

I LOVE this app! But the subscription features have to be unlocked from their end at the beginning of every month; the tech support is nonexistent these days, they don't answer emails and tech support tickets, so I'm about to uninstall it and cancel my subscription.

I used to enjoy this app, but now it wants me to pay for things that I already had access to. That problem still persisted, but also now Magnus is 32 while the top age in the app is still 30. They also stopped releasing new opponents a long time ago. Magnus at the higher levels and the top level Judit Polgar have way too much book. They know basically every line of every opening. Higher levels play like a 3000+ rated engine consistently and find inexplicable deep computer moves often. Edited
