Easy on the eyes and enough puzzles in the series to hack away at the problems I have with tactics. Enjoy!

Love this trial and other Ct-Art apps. I want to buy the full CT-ART Chess Mate Theory app but you are asking for my PayPal password within your app which is a dealbreaker for me. Why not just accept PayPal the way others do without asking for the password while still in your app? Thanks, Sincerely, Mark

I have purchased this and several other apps from you. But when I install them on my new phone, they are asking me to pay again. I'm using the same account and login information as on my previous phone, so apps should be transferable. Please address. My rating is temporary just to draw your attention.
