Hello, dear team of chess.com!

First of all, I would like to say thank you for the new application. It is great.

However, there are some things which are absent and they are very important for the end user.

  1. There should be some kind of progress bar when application refreshes the list of online games: on previous app there was a refresh button which played the role of progress bar when pressed.
  2. The gestures are cool, but sometimes there should be asked a confirmation for some actions like creating a challenge: after update I was observing the new design and when I tried to return to the main page I accidently created a challenge by making a move on the finished game. Not a big deal, but such things are usually should be confirmed.
  3. To be honest, the suggestion to create a challenge on the main page is annoying. I agree that it can be useful for some people, so I suggest to make an option which hides it.

Thanks again for the great work! I will for sure continue my membership to support your efforts.

Kind regards,

Sergey.

4. When clicking the "hand on pawn" icon to show your current online games, there's no way to refresh the list. In order to update it to reflect which games are waiting for you to make your move, you have to go to "Home".

Hi!

Running version 3.0.152b on LG Nexus 4 Android KitKat 4.4.2.

The same game is appearing twice since some days ago...

 

 

 

But there is an extra black Rook on a8 and a missing white Rook on f2 on the second board. The white Queen is misplaced too.

It may sound pithy, but not being able to select rated vs unrated would be nice.

Also, really..really consider a seek graph for live games !

I like the notification feature(s) ... but I would like to be able to specify a do-not-disturb time range (like 11:00pm-7:00am) or similar functionality.   Maybe even one range for Week-days and another for Week-ends ... I need my beauty sleep after all ;)  

I know, I can logout before bed, or when I don't want to get the notifications, but that's kind of a hassle (and then I'll forget to log back in).  

This would be primarily for Online Chess notifications, I guess.  But, really, unless there's something going on where I'd loose on time if I don't move immediately, it can wait ... notify me after the do-no-disturb timespan expires.

This would be based on current Android device time (not chess.com server's time, etc.).

Oh, and it wouldn't bother me if the App captured the notification and then notified me later (again, after the do-no-disturb elapses) ... so, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to do.  I know things like handling these type of notifications after a phone is rebooted, etc. may take some thought, but I also am not looking for 100% (I do check often enough that it probably won't be a big deal to miss some notifications anyhow), but it would still be nice to have the feature.

I know that is too soon, but just to let you know, this new version isn't working in Android L preview. It crashes while loading.

By the way, while using Cyanogen, I blocked the permission to access my location and the app continued to work fine. In other words, this permission is ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY.
