The chess app has a frustrating feature where you get sent to the app when you click on certain things on the website. For example, clicking on the challenge icon next to a friend's name sends you to the play screen on the app (it doesn't even change your settings, and so it's easy to accidentally play against someone random.) Usually this is fine and just takes some getting used to, but I learned that when trying to access the daily puzzle, it also redirects you to the app. The app doesn't give you the forum options that the website does, so this is a problem. The only way I've found to stop the feature is to disable the app. If anyone has found a way to either turn off this feature or go to the daily puzzle on the website, please let me know.

For features that open in the App, you'll want to open them in a new tab. There's not an option to disable that, short of uninstalling the app.

I found a setting on my phone that stopped this from happening (long press the app, press the 'i' that has a circle around it, go to default, turn off "open supported links.") Thank you for trying to help me.
