It is incredibly frustrating that there's no way to access the analysis board for positions in the app. If you're doing a tactics course for example, sometimes you will make the wrong move and the author won't explain why your move is wrong. Using the engine to check the move is a natural step and one that is available on the website but inexplicably not in the app. Huge miss and something people have been asking for on the forums for FIVE YEARS.

Thanks for your feedback! We understand how useful the analysis board would be in the app. Some features are currently web-only, but we’ve shared this with the team for consideration. We’ll keep working to improve the app experience. Thanks again!

There are quality lessons on here. Unfortunately, I paid for the full version for the sole purpose of offline usability, and this feature is incredibly buggy and unreliable. Lost much progress several times. Seems like a very simple thing for them to screw up, so I assume they must not care.

This is more frustrating than instructive. I'm sure the lessons are great, but the UI is clunky, and if your instructor isn't graded explaining something and you missed the drill it gives you the answer right away instead of giving you another try. Having the timer start while you're still reading instructions makes for hasty decisions. there is no way to digest what is being taught
