I have lowered my rating from 5 stars because Shredder chess has failed to evolve at all. Yes its a strong engine but that's really it. Do something to make it better. For instance, when it says "that may not have been the best move. Add why? And have it explain why and what it leads to. Add more teachings like classical openings, defenses, variants and again, (a why button if you try variants), famous games library. This app is so old and has changed zero. It 100% was not worth the 7$ I paid.

I'm a little bit disappointed about this app for two points: 1) When I resume the game with TIME CONTROL and I must to move, the time remains stuck! 2) It's not anymore possible to export pgn games (completed)previously loaded...it's possible ONLY when you finish the game at the moment when the game is over. (this is very bad thing). Sorry about my minuteness, but I'm a software developer and I make programs and "stress-test" every day. For the rest this app seems ok Keep going & best regards.

I have to say a big thank you to the Shredder team. I've been using your engine for as long as I can remember and i really appreciate that you keep developing this and other software. It makes a difference. Quite unlike good old CB whose apps are dying and the ones that were bought no longer work on modern phones.
