Strongest iPhone BG App?

In Response To: Strongest iPhone BG App? (Leonardo Zide)

As for playing strength, I find PocketBG the strongest one on the iPhone. (It's GNUBG).

But it doesn't run that fast*, and the UI leaves a bit to wish for.

* You can play 0-ply, but go to 2-ply and you'll fall asleep. I'm sure this could be improved so that 2-ply would play at a reasonable pace.

Now, more interesting: Which iPhone app is the best for BG analysis?

My requirements would be: - Input/Edit (matchplay) positions. - Known (editable) MET - including skewed ones. - Minimum 2-ply GNUBG (or similar strength) evaluation. - Preferably a "longer" evaluation or rollout available.
