Conditional moves on app

I want to make a request regarding conditional moves. The problem is that while exploring lines with the conditional moves tool, you can get caught if your opponent makes a move while you're still considering what to do in that line. 

 

Ideally there would be a way to explore the lines before committing the moves. A "save" button would be the obvious thing.

Yes there are pretty obvious problems with the conditional move options (there should also be a true premove in daily, i.e.  makes a move regardless of what your opponent does)

You are essentially saving the move in the conditional section when you make it. If you want to explore lines, you have to use the analysis function and then go to conditional to enter moves.

I have no idea why the 'conditional moves' are not added to the app. Everyone would be so happy. Please update the app, chess team!

[another site - MS] now has this feature on its app and it's fantastic.  Works seamlessly to add conditional moves straight from the analysis board.

If a free platform can do this, I struggle why chess.com has yet to do this.  It has been asked for from many players over the last 8 to 10 years.

Yeah, really not understanding why they haven't made this a feature on the app yet, and why does no one from Chess.com give us any answers?

Just a reminder that it's summer 2021 and still no conditional premoves on app.

The fact this is not present makes Lichess a lot more attractive where this has been available for a while now..... You NEED to implement this in the app. It ain't that hard.

Just played my first daily game on this site in years, and it will be my last, because of not having this feature!!    Another site has it though....

Chiming in and adding to the thread that conditional moves would be a fantastic feature addition and much appreciated by the community! Would love if a product manager or someone from the team let us know where this sits on the roadmap. Thanks all!

Conditional moves are where you can set up a reply to the moves you think your opponenet may make. You can set up entire lines, several different lines at once even, to make sure you have all grounds covered, and if your opponent plays the moves you predicted, the game will automatically play the replies you set up for you, and if your opponent doesn't play any of the moves you predicted, then it will go back to you having to reply as normal, and you can do that as may times as you want. The only thing is; as it stands this option is only available from computers and still not yet the app to play on your phone or tablet
