Comments on Chess Engines OEX for Android

★★★★★ An excellent set of engines. Works well with the Chess for Android GUI. Many Thanks.
★★★★★ Leela's chess zero is not working. And can you please add any such engine which is very attacking no matter if it often sacrifices or makes weird moves. One recommendation for such engine is zappa mexico ii. You can add this one also
★★★★★ I checked the menu but only see the two default engines . Don't see any of the ones here
★★★★★ Andscacs doesn't seem to work, great compilation of engines though
★★☆☆☆ After uninstalling the app, the engines remain to be seen (for instance by Droid Fish) and are fully usable. No way to properly uninstall them. Nice ...
★★☆☆☆ Plays legally but that is all Plays legally that is all
★★☆☆☆ Neither it has any engine, nor it installs any engine from sd card. Pathetic app wasted my so much time.
★★☆☆☆ I've using this app for almost 5 years, but I'm having trouble using the new chess engine leela that came with the update. It doesn't work. I hope the developer can fix it ASAP. Thanks.
