What are users saying about Scid on the go

Y70%
by Y####:

Too many modes! Analysis mode? waste of time. would be better to have a button on the main display to quickly start/stop engine in game review mode and game study mode. This will allow user to quickly start/stop engine, save battery power and analyse game without the long procedure to keep going in and out of analysis mode. Also option in setting to show arrow on display for engine move when analysing would be nice.

N70%
by N####:

When I import a bunch of Pgn files into a new database, it won't save the games to the database. Initially, you see all the games, but if you open another database all the games disappear. However, if I exit the program and return, the games are still in the new database, as long as I don't change databases.

To become the best you must add moves statistics and opening report as in SCID vs pc

Thanks for this great app. Deserves five stars. But I restrained myself in awarding it as I could not find an option to turn off the last move highlight which is bit annoying. Kindly let me know if there is a way out to do this.

Great works extremely well have came across zero problems and i use it all the time

Y70%
by Y####:

It's really clunky when it comes to checking variations/candidate moves. It would be so much better if review and analysis modes where merged; and the engine on/off put on a toggle on the top line. It has a long way to go to get close to the PC version; ok for a free app, but the dev has done better work before.

Thank you for this app. Please make it possible to add comments to the moves and save it.

Only wish study mode would also choose variations, not only mainline. Would make it perfect for learning openings. Also would be great if you could play the entire database, and not just one game. Scid vs Pc lets you do that, and its an excellent tool.

This app is simple and sleek.Pretty good overall and a perfect pgn viewer. Well done

Only it should use arrows for best moves in analyze mode like droidfish. And board search should have option to search only one side(white or black) piece positions. If possible it should show players clock times for pgn files with move times.( FICS ICC FIDELIVE pgn) And should show move times chart. Wish you all best!!!

Why would anyone go through the trouble of developing and app and provide zero instructions on how to use it? Sometimes I am befuddled by human nature.

(1) Chess engine does not start on Sony Xperia Mini (2) Cannot export png file due error. Will raise rating if these bugs get fixed ;)
