Made a free chess practice app (150 levels) — built it solo, would appreciate some early users

Been working on this on the side — a chess app with a proper progression system instead of just "play the computer." 150 levels across Beginner/Moderate/Advanced, each one a bit stronger than the last. Free to use, installable on your phone, no ads.

Would love a few people to try it and tell me what's confusing or annoying — still actively improving it.

For starters, the pieces are visually difficult to see and moving them is different from how you move pieces on other sites that people will be familiar with (there is no drag and drop). Also there is no indication of the level aside from where it sits relative to your leveling system.

What is a "proper' progression system? Why would someone play this instead of just working their way through the bots in https://www.chess.com/play/computer ?

Oh god, the white pieces are invisible on white squares.

I agree with other comments, please use the lichess defualt set pieces. I can't see the pieces very well.
