I just downloaded it and played some Blitz Games. It works well.
Yes, I can see the number of downloads (updated daily), but not broken down by device type. I suppose this wouldn't have been possible: It's just a single binary for all devices, and many users don't download directly to the device, but through iTunes on their Mac or PC. In such cases, it's obviously not possible to guess what device(s) the user intends to run the program on.I'm curious. Are you able to see the number of Downloads, and break it down by device type?
In case someone is curious, the number of downloads the last day before the update with iPad support (the statistics for the new version are not yet available; I guess they'll be there tomorrow) was 122. This is quite normal. It seems that most commercial chess programmers are still not aware of how huge this market is. Mobile devices are by far the dominant platform for computer chess. Trying to sell a UCI engine makes very little sense from a commercial point of view: You can earn far more money with just a fraction of the work by focusing on mobile platforms. Outside this message board, hardly anyone plays chess on their PCs.
