At this point, its in the hands of Apple. We've submitted it to the iPhone store, and when they release it, you will be able to find it.

Ahhhh!!! I somehow got the impression that it was already in the Apple Basket!

 

Thank You!

Does the app support notifications? I'd love to know when it is my turn. Laughing

Although i don't know, i don't think so. Because apple doesn't allow a process in the background. You have to live with emails.

Could be mistaken though....

They support push notification though. Basically at certain intervals the phone checks for certain things to update, e-mail being one of them. I hope the app will work with push notifications, I get enough e-mail already.

Yes, that is what I implied by "notifications". Here is to hoping that it is supported by the app.

ClaypOT, The iPhone is the money drainer. I think the chess app will be free?

 

The screen shots look great!

I am also looking forward to it. Does anybody know on average how long it takes for apps. to be approved?

The Chess.com training videos and tactics trainer on the iphone app!! Tongue out  My commute just got 1000% better.

Sloth138, it generally takes about 2 weeks from submission to release (assuming the app is approved for release).  

I too think the screen shots look good and the functionality description adds to the promise that this could be a very nice thing.  

farbror

Yeah, The rest of us might have to start commuting to the office

 

Cool

Usually takes Apple about two weeks from submission to release (assuming it checks out aptly). 

farbror

Two weeks should be today more or less!

I know! I'm excited! I'll be able to get rid of a couple of the chess apps I have because this will do the work of both, and it looks like the layout and aesthetics are better, too!
