Definitely a ratings problem Reverts to an earlier number, always lower by about 15 points Please add some new puzzles, seeing repeats
Version 1.14 is broken

The analysis shows non-sensical and inconsistent moves on my iPad 3.
Good but....

Is it really impossible to stop doing the blinking pieces??? Couldn't you at least make it an option? Here's the deal folks, if you accidentally touch a piece it will continue to blink....and blink....and blink.....no matter what!
Major bug

Recent update no longer stores rating. Highest ELO is wrong, depending where you check. Needs a graphical description of solutions! Sometimes it shows you the next 5 best moves, sometimes just one. You can 'analyze' to try and see the move you missed, but why not display a move-by-move on the actual board? It's like learning math from a teacher who says nothing except "right" or "wrong". Frustrating!
Major bug

The 1.14 version displays pieces as pixelated letters. Do not update to this version.
Great For Chess

I consider this first rate training on the tactics of chess. As your rating goes up the problems get more difficult. One question: Why does my rating reset to 1800 every night?
Great Apps

The app works well, best part of app is that it doesn't tell you the difficulty level or a theme before solving so it fairly represents a game situation.
Two is generous

While this is certainly a challenging chess program, it is also quite frustrating. Several times I have input the correct solution only to have the game call my solution wrong. And when I hit the analysis button it comes up with the same solution I just tried! At other times I've discarded certain solutions after finding a stronger one but the program favored the weaker solution. However, it does keep me thinking.
Decent app has issues depends on platform

3rd tactic in I get an error, says I missed the tactic pressed analyze and it shows the worst possible move (computer forced mate in 10). Needs some designer TLC. The phone app is awesome, iPad app is bad. I hope they fix this as I love the app on my phone. Shredder does not have enough puzzles.
