Pros and cons of Chinese Chess / Co Tuong app for iPhone and iPad

Chinese Chess / Co Tuong app good for

Quick play and built-in opportunities to learn tactics make this a great alternative to traditional chess. Recommended.
Really well made and challenging bots, wish there are less lag but its probily due to my old ipod
For me, a beginner in Chinese Chess, it is a good app. The end game puzzles help to understand how to play well. Something Id like to see in future is the possibility to enter a game situation and then play against the computer. (Analyzing chess problems.)
A great app with chalenging levels and a very user-friendly interface!
Great application, cool endgame puzzles. The only thing that stops me from buying the full version is that I dont see its price anywhere:-(
Its a very challenging game, very smart, if theres a feature that could teach training would be great Like showing, predicting, a few moves ahead, strategic

Some bad moments

Online playing between I-phone & I-pad not working properly. To update each movement from the opponent, it requires going out of the room to the lobby & re-enter. It also requires an undo button badly to fine tune for accidental mis-placement of chess.
When play online, it froze and one has to get out and in the room to see what did the other player move. Please fix the problem...
I couldnt find options to disable sound for the full screen auto-play ads. This prevented me from fully testing. I will keep looking elsewhere for a Chinese Chess app.
It does not keep up with your score! If it did level 10 takes too much time to make a move! I didnt want to write anything bad, just the truth. Maybe they can fix the bug then I will change my rating...
The app almost always either crashes or disconnects you whenever you are about to finish a game.
The app needs to be updated for iOS 9. Since iOS 9 update the app freezes at the intro screen and does not start. Also please put more realistic sounds into the game. Otherwise a very good app when it worked.
