Good but not good enough

Please add more skin options, including the board in different colors and textures, and more fonts for pieces. For world tournament, please add capability of auto time out ruling, for instance, after ten minutes without moving, even for online matches without a preset time limit. I've run into situations where my unsporting opponent abruptly disconnects himself to avoid checkmate, leaving me endlessly waiting in a no time limit game, which is very frustrating. Also the ability to view winning percentage, summary of results and player profile would be much appreciated. Lastly, keep in mind the red always moves first. Please correct this in next update which I hope will come soon. And why is the pretty girl icon for the premium version replaced upon install with a big ugly Chinese character icon? I want the pretty girl back!
UI Improvement Needed

Great game, great UI. But PLEASE, increase the FONT SIZE and make the board line clearer. Fonts are simply UN-READABLE in retina iPads. Most users are elderlies, and they need bigger fonts and high color contrast.
Great app but crashes often after recent update

I play this game practically everyday for many years now. I love it!
Great Chinese chess app

I play this app often. Really fun on many levels. It is very quick and challenging.
Please look into international xiangqi rule

I would give this app 5 stars...however, it doesn't follow international rule for checking using different units...currently the software does not allow more than 3 checks even if I am using different units to lock down the general...you should reprogram this sw to allow such moves since it is legal based in international xiangqi ruling
