I have already tried the free version of this app and found the concept of puzzles really helpful in improving the chess tactics in a short period of time. First of all the pro version is very cheap as compared to other apps out there,so can't complain much about this app. But still here are my few suggestions to make this app even better. Classifying the app based on patterns would be better as compared to difficulty. Adding different sound on check and checkmates(visual also) will be great.

Accurate and (mostly) realistic challenges. Would like the option, either on daily challenges or all the time, to set an option to always be in "find the best move" mode, even if the best move leads to checkmate. That is, don't tell me there's a mate.

I got this app to learn to think more turns in advance and see moves from a different perspective. This app is not good for that. The instructions for the puzzles vary between 2 options: "B/W mates in X turns" or "find the best move". The "mates in X turns" aren't horrible, but in either situation I found that the puzzles are poor for training a player to think through what their opponent would do when they make a move. The computer often makes illogical moves that no sane player would.
