I was so excited this morning when I saw that there was an update to the app. Until I saw that it was just a maintenance release :/ Can't wait for the new app!

Do you know when the new Android app will be released PolarBear?

I keep hearing it will be in a few months. It keeps getting pushed back. As much as I want it now, I like that they are taking their time to make sure it's good to go instead of rushing it out to soon.

On the weekends I always use my tablet to login to Chess.com. Do you know what changes are going into effect?

It's a complete rewrite of the app, they are making a new one from the ground up. Not sure all the features, but the one in most excited about is Puzzle Rush finally being in the mobile app. There are a few articles that I'm having a hard time finding that had some info on some of the new features.

Thanks Polarbear!

No problem. If I can find any articles I'll post links

@jdcannon is it going to be released to Android App Beta users first or is it just going to be released to everyone at the same time? 

Patszer

Daniel Rensch said in the Sate of Chess video 3 weeks ago that it should be in September. I've been hoping for more info also. Middle of September, end of September?

Alright! Now that's what I call good news on a Monday morning. Thanks PolarBear!

https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/puzzle-rush-on-android CEO Erik said the Android upgrade is coming in the next two weeks!

There was an update. It includes Puzzle Rush!

But it doesn't work. (Unknown Error Code=-1)

I uninstalled it and then reinstalled and updated it again. It works.
