The materials were decent but the operation was poor. Approx 1 in 5 games ended in board errors where a random light or lights would come on & not go off; game would freeze under these circumstances. Saving games is iffy, worked less than half the time; saving should be auto (my opinion) or indicator light should be unique to square, maybe red since that would not be used for normal play so user is sure game saved. Board should be capable of better play without app; good avg. club player would run around 1500, board level seems about 1200 max. Using app was very buggy (other reason wished lone board was better), quit shortly after receiving. Since my issues are firmware/software based it is my hope that the issues I encountered get repaired and the board will perform as stated.
