The (black) pieces are not visible! I have Xiaomi redmi 9. The problem has started to arise for quite a while. I use dark theme and thought this was it. But nothing, I had the same problem with other chess apps. Help me!

An almost perfect app. The only missing thing is the position search not available in the search header + not being able to add more lines in engine analysis output. I know some chess pros on android that use this app, it tells everything. Not a single flaw/slowdown with the whole Mega Database 2021 used in a scid si4 format, search is quicker than in Chess Base. It is really sad that this app is apparently not supported anymore ... (Chess PGN Master is not at all at the same level ...)

This app is not allowing me to use Stock fish 15. Who wants an app that cannot be used as a gui for chess engines. This is making me really mad so please fix this.

Why this app has hidden permissions such as prevent phone from sleeping, have full network access, view network connections, you can do this app without this permission. Deleted and vive le privacy and liberty

It's significantly slower than droid fish. I'm getting 500knps here and there I consistently get 3000-3500knps with stock fish. I don't know what the problem is.

Unlike the Windows version, this app does not support PGN files...really lame.
