Would be nice to get an extra 2 weeks or something for those who actually purchased it, and thereby sort of beta-tested it...

This is a great trial, just need to add the variants (esp. Atomic!)

Great app, allows you to do virtually anything you could do with a PC client. Only missing ability to flip board in observation mode. Console access.

With my tablet the interface is much nicer to look at than any ICC interface for the PC. It annouces moves without having to install other software - great for long games when I use a standard board next to it. I won't be using a PC to play on ICC again.

Great!!

Never commented before, but feel I should. Bought the app but need icc account to play which costs $70 a year. So just paid for a useless app.
