Question for iOS 5 users...

Yes badges works, but not noticecenter.
Thanks! Yes, we don't (yet) have any textual notifications to populate that new feature.. On the way, though! I was more concerned that historical features (badges, sounds) have stopped working (at least for some?) under iOS 5.

Any news about noticecenter? one more thing I want to see in the app is this online antenna so we can see if the opponent is online or not.

I agree this would be cool.

It's on the way & already being tested. :)

what about notes feature?
I have just noted the idea, but no plans/ETA for it currently. Next up (not in the very next release) are probably Learning Positions (mobile Computer Workout) and hopefully an openings explorer.
Great to hear that noticecenter is on the way.
I also want to see badges for chat and online games inside the app. Sometimes when I wait for a move I do some tactics and like it is now I must go back to games tab and see if it is my move, so a badge on that tab would be good.
Also today's chat indicator is to bad, I want to see iPhone standard with badges.


That's FUNNY! When I saw your post, I was like "WHERE DID HE GET THAT SCREENSHOT!?" because the badge on the online tab is already in the QA version of the next release! :)
We've talked about a similar badge on the chat button, but it's apparently not so simple with that control. For that reason, we're adding a new user option in Settings that will cause new incoming Chat to appear in a dialog over the game board. (This you can simply dismiss or hit "Reply" to jump to the Chat view.)
Place a popup window over the board is not a good idea in quick live games, instead I want to see this window placed over the captured pieces.
But best is a badge or maybe just change the color on the tab when you have new incoming chat.
Keep it clean and simple.

We won't do a pop-up in Live. We can't affect changes to the look of the button-bar control so easily, but we will continue to investigate making the arrival of new chat somewhat easier to see than that teeny little star, even without the pop-up in play.

I realize I'm kind of late to the party, but I've only in the past few weeks noticed a bug in the "your move" alert that reminds me about my correspondence games. Every time I make my move, even on my PC, my phone immediately lights up to tell me that it's my move... and it's clearly not. It still reminds me when it IS actually my move, after my opponent moves, but obviously I don't need to be erroneously reminded about my move as I'm clicking the submit move button.

I confirm I too have noticed this bug since iOS 5.1 on my iPhone 4S.
Are notifications for the Chess app working for you?
Badges?.. Sounds?.. Anything?
