You need to adjust on the interface and make it a proper analysis chessboard instead of a mere board editor. The engine should constantly and automatically draw arrows on the board for both sides without clicking any buttons. The user should also define how many lines the engine should present. Check other analysis chess apps like "chessis" and "lichess" and see how it is done. If you address these issues, I will update this review to 5 stars. Thanks

I purchased NCM PRO, accidentally uninstalled the app and when I went back to it, couldn't figure out how to sign in, emailed the dev, and very shortly after received a very nice email from Chad who perfectly worded how to get around the issue I was experiencing, honestly didn't expect such a quick reply, it's a great app with exceptional customer service. 10*s out of 5. It's perfect for anyone who has increased their rating and don't know how to deal with certain threats. I love the mv option.

Good app and very strong engine once you use the dev build but it leaves me baffled as to why the free website version is almost just as strong even with less thinking time. And when I use the website dev build it's stronger than the app—Weird. They can do a couple things to improve my experience: 1) allow customizability of the board& peices. 2) Skrink the size of the board by default or have an option for it —this is so we can use the app in split screen mode. 3)have more engine options.

I bought the app and initially had a problem with the board fitting my phone screen. Chad's customer service was so prompt in working out what the problem was and helped with which setting I needed. He is in the process of issuing the fix to solve the problem at source. The app has been great in helping where I have been going wrong too.

Excellent experience!! Worth every dollar for purchase, as well as in app subscription 💫💫💫💫💫 highly recommend for all chess players seeking to analyze their games or even build your own repertoire for analysis. Able to save many games as I currently have 50+ variations of games saved, so don't delay, purchase 2day...

It is very helpful with learning the game and understanding the moves and why the ai makes them so that in the future you don't make those mistakes.

The most wasting money for an app! The algorithm is perfect only if you are a beginner and play with a beginner! The programmer must be restated! I installed today, tested with several amateur good players, lost the majority! 🤮

Not a good user experience . UI should be more intuitive and calculate next move should be automated .... 😐 .. it went too costly for an average user experience ... Sorry .. disappointed ...
