    Awesome! It's great to hear you are feeling progress. Chess can be tough, especially with all the confusing concepts in those books. Learning tactical patterns sounds like a solid move. It helps clear up some of that confusion. Just under a week with the app and you're already seeing improvements. Keep it up!

    I can't believe how much better my visualization skills got after just three hours with the free version. I ended up placing 2nd in U1950 at my last tournament. CT-ART 4.0 has been a game changer. I'm ready to invest!

    When I first used this app, it felt really challenging. After some time spent on chess training, things changed. Now, I can handle it much better. The tactics still present a challenge, but the in-app support shines. It explains why a move didn’t work and gives hints based on simpler problems. It becomes addictive. I genuinely notice improvement. Investing in the full version definitely feels worthwhile.

    The app faces some big quality issues. The instructions and interface need improvement. Sometimes, explanations for tougher puzzles or longer combinations just aren't there. It’s frustrating when trying to find a solid move that isn't the best option. Without better lessons, it becomes hard to justify spending money on this.

    The count and running problem number seem to be missing in the new interface. You want them visible again. It’s important for tracking progress and managing tasks effectively. Users likely expect easy access to this information. It enhances the overall experience. You might reach out to support or check settings for visibility options.
