Pretty sure I just lost my streak after updating the app. I wish there was a way to review a random set of variations whenever I wanted. I also don't like landing in the middle of a variation when reviewing... I'd rather play the line from the start. I bought a subscription but the app just hung...only saw the spinner. Now after restarting the app, it's not seeing my subscription. If I try to buy the subscription again, it gives an error.

Thank you for your feedback. You can find the option to review randomly or learn all moves in the course setting. Please write to hello@chessable.com where we can better explain the features to you.

You can spend $100 on a video course, and still have to pay a monthly subscription fee to cache your video for online viewing. There's also no way to jump to the video timestamp for a variation. Rating the app as a companion to the two courses I splurged and purchased the video for, I have to rate 1 star. Given that those video purchases were so expensive I think it's fair to ask to view them offline without an additional subscription.

Thanks for the feedback. We are working on the video timestamp, please see the progress here https://portal.productboard.com/audaqmz3anu2xgccrnzqnonw/c/146-video-sync-jump-to-exact-place-in-video-where-the-variation-is

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!
