What do you miss?

I´ve used palm chess programs, pocketpc chess programs and I have an idea of how the perfect program should be. Personaly I think we have great GUI on iphone (Shredder), beautifull playing style engines (Glaurung), great puzzles (Zebra)... but for exampley we have no program to manage chess data bases (on pocketpc there many, for example the freeware ceboard).

What do you miss on your pocket?

- Chess 960

- Handling multiple move branches in a single game (and in PGN export)

- Better review features (next mistake/last mistake jumps and comments on severity of the error)

- Ability to handle multiple game DBs

In short, if Hiarcs 12.1 for Palm ever makes the jump to an iPhone version, I'll be a very happy camper. 

Hiarcs 12.1 is the most feature-rich hand-held chess solution I've ever encountered, and the fact that it runs very usably on inferior hardware still inclines me to believe that a LOT more is possible on iPhone/Touch than any of the current offerings include. 

Game analysis with commentary?  Support for annotated PGN?  Openings training (select an opening, etc.)?  Why not? 

Hiarcs for iPhone is supposed to be coming!

Thank you so much for the information MikeDr17!! I see that Tord Romstad (the developer of Glaurung ) is giving some ideas. This can be fantastic!!! (I´d like to have hiarcs and glaurung in the same app)

MikeDr7, that is GREAT news!  Thanks for making my day.  I've checked out the 'News' page at hiarcs.com more than once in anticipation of this, but never waded into the forums.  Brilliant.

The down side is that I'll be having to check the App Store daily now...  :-\

 I'm limiting myself to checking twice a week :)

It has been a long time coming - hopefully it will not turn into vapourware.
