Problem in Chess.com for Android

Hi guys, thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

My complain is that I cannot change the central value of the rating that will allow me to set the inferior and superior values of the players I want to face.

As an example: During the live platform you can set the -100 and +100 in order for the engine to search players among 100 points less than what I have and 100 points more than what I have. However, in the android app the value from which the engine adds or substracts the two limits you set is always 1200, so if I set, -100 and +100 it will always look for players between 1100 and 1300. Currently, in standard chess I have a rating close to 1400, so, looking for players near 1200 is not something that I want.

I wonder if there is something that I can do to change that value so it is my rating or if that is something has/should be fixed by chess.com

Thank you very much!

Also, I think there should be an option to see the moves that have been done throughout the game. It happened to me that I wanted to know if the 50 move rule had been reached but I had no idea if that was the case since I could not see the moves that had been made.

Thanks once again!

I've got the android app too, your right it's stuck on 1220, but I've noticed that my opponents have been getting stronger as my rating rises, so maybe the server is doing it's job regardless of what the app says. The app could do with some more functionality, showing moves, custom time/inc, and the ability to add a chess engine for analysis would all be welcome. That said, I'd settle for timeseal, I lose tons of time from lag and disconnections, I even lose time when my opponent disconnects..

Sadly, this doesnt happen to me. My opponents keep being within the range established using the center value (1200 for me) and the two limits, inferior and superior. The only thing that has benefited me is to increase the superior limit so I can find players with 1400 and 1500 rating, but I still get people with 1200 (exactly 1200) and around 1200.

The other things you mentioned are important as well, and the time lag and dcs are really bothersome. I wonder if this topic gets checked by chess.com staff ^^
