Well designed app with a good collection. Have a few feature requests.

* Ability to continue and play solved puzzles till the end by exporting to an external chess app using FEN or PNG

* Bookmark interesting games to come back and maybe solve again (with no points)

Thanks for trying the app out, will definitely look into developing these. Share FEN/PGN is coming to the next version very soon.

It plays sound when the device is muted, has no preference to disable sound for the app, and moreover, the sound effects interfere with playing media, i.e. when I make a move the app pauses my music, playing in the background, to make a sound of a moving pawn.

Have pushed the update, should be visible in a few days on app store.

Love the app! Would love it twice as much if you allowed me to turn off the sounds (it turns off any existing podcasts or music).

> There's no login required since the app uses Google Play Billing

...so it requires logging in with a Google account. That means I won't be able to buy the app on my phone

A one-time purchase for an offline privacy-friendly app is 100% fair and the price point and free tier seem great to me (someone upthread said it's like 4.7€ if you want more than 7 puzzles per day iirc), but please just add an option to send you money directly via e.g. IBAN. It's one of the few privacy-friendly options and you also get to keep all of the money

Most other options cut people out: paypal doesn't work half the time ("sorry, something went wrong" when the algorithm hates you today), stripe has issues when your bank and residence country don't match, credit card requires a good credit score, etc. It's all data- and algorithm-based, whereas banks are legally obliged to give you a functional account because it underpins so much of society nowadays. I'd be happy to pay for the app even without using it as a way to add my 'two cents' and hopefully make this more worth your time

I will definitely look into supporting alternative payment methods, someone else also has a de-googled phone and asked for the same in this thread too. I wonder if any of the alternative payment methods has a sdk that I can integrate directly or I will have to go the old school way of using software keys.

I recently deleted the chess.com app due to monthly price, so I'm thrilled to start using this app instead! Good job!
