Hi Folks,

Is it just me or the new update is very buggy?

Just a sample:

1) keeps disconnecting on live chess regardless of how strong you wi fi signal is. (ICC doesn't disconnect);

2) I need to issue several challenges before getting a game. Not as imediate as the browser version.

3) Today, somehow in the beginning of a game, I got the reconnecting message and all of a sudden one of my oponents white pawn turned to black. It was his move and my clock was running. Tried to move one of my pieces without success. had to close and reopen tha app a certainly lost the game.

Is full of bugs in all types of games. In correspondence i have the same problem with the color of the pieces. It sometimes says is my turn to move and it isnt. I try to open a game from the notification and it opens in my last game instead of opening in the game the notification said i need to move. And a lot more of bugs I cant remember now.

When you click a notification it opens the app but the pieces are in the starting position. I have to click the analysis board on and off to have position properly set

On my correspondence games I'm often considering a move, touching nothing, and pieces rearrange (it's like noise on the line in the old days). Have to leave and re-enter the game which sorts it out; Can't send a chat message; If one enters the app and makes moves it would be nice if any corresponding notifications disappeared; it can be misleading and selection confusing (though I can live with this).

I still think it is a great app and is becoming my primary way of playing.

The reviews for this version on the android store are pretty bad! Any feedback from the site developers to address this?

Sorry, I haven't been on here as was testing audio for live chess.

The chat bug was reported and is currently being fixed.

I'll work through the ones posted above and create tickets for the app dev on them for you so we can get those fixed too.

Just got an update from the dev team, they are aware of the issues reported above, an update is about to be released.

Great! Let's hope they fix the last bugs and don't create new ones.

Could you please try to use latest 2.0.9 update from Google Play!

Sorry guys...... Tried to play one 10 min game... First I heard no sound at all. Checked the configs and enable sounds was checked. In the middle of the game, after the first disconnection, my c6 Knight changed his color and I could'n move anymore.....This buggy app reminds me the first live chess. TOTALLY UNUSABLE. Maybe it is better to restart from the scratch.....
