Offline bots in the Android app Beta

Currently you can play against bots, but I don't know if its offline. I've found a work around where you play a game against stockfish on the website and the challenge it to a rematch in the app. It would be great if we could have local offline bots built into the app. Especially since we already have the analysis board with pretty high depths already, it shouldn't be too hard.

An example of how this could be implemented is when the user clicks the play button at the bottom. Instead of only four options (online, custom, online bots, and over the board) There could be an offline bot option that allows the user to choose between the 8 different stockfish levels like on the website.

Would be a very nice feature because playing chess without an internet connection is a good pastime, and I don't want to install two apps just for chess.
