This game is superb. Please consider adding features where players can add their profile. This game is phenomenal—can't believe it's all free. Additionally I found a bug where the screen keeps loading even though I have a stable connectivity I tried restarting and scanning the speed of my network and it's surprisingly fast—I hope you guys can fix it(or there's just a server issue.) oh so there's really an issue wishing to fix it fast.

what happened with dark icon app? it has much better UI. actually it was pretty good, only the "learn from your mistakes" feature was missing. and now i feel like i'm forced to go play on chesscom, cause app doesn't look good. i didn't find how to change sound. all my settings is gone. when i find my favorite piece set - it has too much contrast. finally home is uneditable (and default is so bad). i know it's free, so it's not like i'm complaining. but it was good already. now it's not.
