Say, offer a draw or accept it somewhat more easily than in a beast kind of engine?

Chess Tiger for iOS has 28 trainer levels ranging from 100 FIDE elo (totally random play) to 2100 FIDE elo. You can also set the level in USCF elo.
These levels (except for the two lowest) are exactly 50 elo points apart.
I have calibrated these levels on MILLIONS of games so I can guarantee that any trainer level is 50 elo points above the previous one and 50 elo points below the previous one.
It does not take long, starting at the bottom of the scale, to play a few quick games and walk the list until you find a trainer level that is close to your own strength.
At this point the fun begins.
50 elo points is small enough that you will generally be able to make progress or adapt yourself to the engine style and after a while you will be able to start fighting with the next level.
Also, the built-in human detector will activate automatically the antihuman mode. So Pablo's evil techniques will not work againt Chess Tiger for iOS.
