Indeed. The software is awesome, development stalled btw.?

And a huge BUT. It checks its license ONLINE at every session. After maybe a minute in, if no license checking success, the app will close.

So - On a failure, be it your network connection, be it an error on whatever server end they use: You will not play chess with AAC.

This is my AAC right now and obviously my internet connection is working.

[tapio]

Yeah, it tries to but cannot connect to aacapi.acidapestudios.com:443 and aacapi2.acidapestudios.com:443. No playing then. Contacted dev. IDK if he is still active.

[tapio]

No change, no dev reply, no nothing. Any AAC Grandmaster Edition users here? Does it work for you, please?

It stalls at the connection screen for me too.

[tapio]

Yes, now it shows that the app start is 100% dependent on a) internet connection and b) a working remote server. Otherwise, no playing. Bad. Received no reply from developer. Not this time, not a month ago when I made a suggestion.

It stalls at the connection screen for me too.

With an unrooted phone, there's no way to access the pgn's of saved games now. IDK if maybe with a USB connection and PC...

I've uploaded a video covering all the features.

It's working again.

[tapio]

Dead again. Only worked for a day, I reported to Google again, it's software with no functionality.
