Hi guys having experienced both sides of chess.com id like to list some stuff I'm sure many people would appreciate.
Option for multiple premoves - self explanatory, I've lost many a game on ios due to this
Previous analysis option on analysis page
Display of number of games played (total) on profile, (like in samsung)
Fixing of game archive - I’ve noticed that when i go to my archive, and others, its littered with daily and bot games i played years ago… not in order or anything…
Conditional Moves option for correspondence (kinda annoying when i have a forced sequence and cant premove so have to constantly log in at weird times because i forgot to make a move lol)
There’s probably a couple more but thats all i can think of atm. Let me know what y’all think!

Hello, I have been playing on the Chess.com website for some time and have now installed the app for iOS. But I don't know how to play chess variants there. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks

Whenever I go into settings, my iPad just freezes and I just have to restart it.

I searched through the Forums here and could not find this issue discussed.
The results on the web-based Custom Puzzles page do not match the results on the iOS Custom Puzzles page.
Both platforms have a rating range and a toggle for specific puzzles that a users has missed. Each page has an "All Themes" option, and the ability to select 50+ individual or combined themes.
None of the theme percentages on my iPhone match the theme percentages on the web-based platform when using my laptop. The difference range from a few percentage points on some puzzles themes, to as much as 30% difference on other themes.
Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

Is there a way to Bookmark lessons on the app? Am I missing it or is it simply not there? There are so many lessons to keep track of it would be nice to at least have this basic function of organization in the app to help.

It looks pretty quiet here... just curious to know if Chess.com is working on any new goodies for our smartphones?

On both my iPhone and iPad app the friends in the friends list displays the wrong time last seen. It shows "Online 1 month ago or xx days ago" when they play almost every day. It used to be very accurate down to the hour but now it never updates. I noticed this behavior about a month or so ago when there was an update to the friends list. After several updates since it still isn't resolved. Not sure if you're aware.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck.

Hello,
I played a live game today on my iPhone and it displayed like this???? Why???? As you can see I could not see the time or my opponent, I simply hoped I was playing fast enough which is really not fair. I'd also like to see my opponent's avatar, rating, and time, this is the first and hopefully only time it will happen but just pointing it out. The game is here for the link: https://www.chess.com/game/live/87165061953

I don't play on my iPod that much, so I don't know if this happens in regular games. Anyway, I was playing in a custom-position daily tournament, and upon playing the checkmating move, it displayed it as a check. My Android doesn't do that, so I thought it was a little weird. So I play it and hit confirm because, checkmate, and it said I won. After winning, it still displayed as a check. I jumped on my computer, and it agrees that I played a checkmate, but the app chooses to use the check symbol. I am using version 3.9.25 and the link to the game is https://www.chess.com/game/daily/368924161 .
When choosing:

In both puzzles and games, there’s a weird artifact in the a8 square. It only appears when I’m white.

Apple recently released the Live Activities API to every developer, and I was thinking it could be a cool way to follow a game or tournament without having to go to the app every time
for example we decide to follow a game that's happening in chess.com/events , and a live eval bar for the game appears on our home screen, with possibly a game thumbnail or something like that
clicking on it would bring directly to the game

Now the feature isn’t there, it’s a really convenient feature to see who is ready to play. I hope it can be brought back.

I think users should be able to play chess variants on the app.

Hello,
I have been having recurring issues with my iOS app crashing when I am in the middle of a puzzle battle. Chess.com support has assisted me with this issue multiple times, and they suggest for the most part to delete and reinstall the app, as well as explained that it is a bug. However, deleting and reinstalling the app only temporarily resolves the issue then it crashes again, almost like a hit or miss.
Anyone else having this issue?

Why there is no option to disable this annoying animation, it's quite frustrating to lose each endgame because one must wait for both animations to end before it accepts new move.
If I remember well, there was option in settings to disable or enable it.

Starting yesterday, when I try to open my chess.com app on my iPad I get the following message:
"Chess" Beta Has Expired
OK
My only option is to press "OK". I can't open the app.
I am a member of Beta. FWIW, the app on my phone works fine.
