Game Review Difference Between App And Website

Sort:
Absentminded_Chess

I recently had a game that ended in a K + Q vs K. When I use the app's (android) game review, it said 76. Qc2 is a miss because it "lost an opportunity for forced checkmate, but it still gave me a -5 advantage (I was black) the website says I had mate in 11 and called that move excellent. Given how the engine has a lot of time to sort that out, I find it kinda weird.

The app may have run it at a different strength.

does that mean it doesn't check for that in advance? I assumed that's what it did during the long loading time.
