Incredibly clunky. Pieces move like they're wading through treacle. Edit in reply to Chessable: It's not the speed of movement, it's the incredibly laggy interface. Given that the problem is very well documented on your forums, I have to assume you're aware of it. That said, it's far from being the worst bug in this app. That would have to be the tendency to not display all of the pieces in their correct positions. Good luck with the tactics puzzles when the king is missing.

Hi! You can fix this by adjusting the piece animation speed in your board settings. If that doesn't make it smoother, please contact us via our in-app support and we will help you get it running perfectly!

Used to be really good, now keeps randomly putting pieces on there wrong squares for puzzles. Kind garbage because that often completely messes up the solution. PS: Following the suggestion to contact "support" sent me into a useless AI agent that kept on offering irrelevant options. At least in the end I got an option to offering contact details...

The app is borderline unusable, super slow and laggy. Used to be good, not sure what happened, very unsatisfied. Edit: Thank you for the reply. Can't figure out how to contact support in app.
