Yeah, gold members don't get much of an analysis, at least according to the membership page. Didn't realize it was that bad though. Well, there are off site resources that you could probably find with a quick search; something like "free chess game analysis". And I think you can step through the game a move at a time so you could always go old school and try and figure out where you could have done better. Or of course you could pony up the cash and go for a Diamond membership...
Stupid Question - But How to Use Analysis
Sort:
Aha, so I'm not missing anything - that's really it. Hmm, a bit misleading of them on two points. Firstly, offering computer analysis at sign up instead of high-speed replay. Secondly, telling me I made 2 blunders and asking me to click for further details but not revealing what they are. There may or may not be a way to slow it down and go step by step,: f there is, I haven't found it. Ahum. I'll consider my options. Thanks: )
Oh you're playing bughouse. Don't think the computer analysis is set up for anything but standard chess.
No, I do mean for normal chess 
Ok. So instead of hitting the first button, the play button, try looking to the right of it and find a couple of buttons with arrows on them. The arrow that points to the right moves one step forward, the left moves it back. Problem solved?
As well as stepping through your own moves with the arrows, you can click on any of the alternative lines of moves displayed by computer analysis. Those listings should also show you which moves the analysis considers blunders (or even good moves!) and suggest alternatives. In case you can't see those alternative moves, make sure that you have clicked the second tab at the top 'computer analysis' and selected how deep you want the analysis - but I think you already did that bit. Good luck.
Thanks to both of you. It would seem the problem lies in using Chrome on mobile (I don't have a computer and the app is limited in its offerings). Some of the options on the page are obscured for me. First I tried the arrows but what I was missing was the menu underneath. I hadn't come across anything Rasa mentioned but with a bit of fiddling around I've found it so will now see if I can get my head around it moving forward. Guess I owe the site an apology! Thanks again guys

I use a free download called Lucas Chess. It has a great analysis engine that I use every day. It has a choice of multiple engines and you can set the depth and length of time for the analysis, and even play out individual positions if u like. This program works with Windows and also with Linux if you use WINE. If I had the Chrome OS on my machine I would wipe it and replace it with Linux Mint.
Thanks for the advice guys, all taken on board
Chess.com isn't really misleading in regards to the analysis offer. Every member receives a free powerful analysis tool. The stuff that actually costs money is for convenience and easy understanding, especially in such a time demanding world. It's also pretty much the best option for beginners who don't understand much about the analysis engine. But there is a free powerful stockfish analysis tool available to everyone.
As per the title. Probably a really stupid question but how do you actually use the computer analysis after a game? It tells me for example "2 blunders", so I click on analysis but it just replays the game. Is it supposed to show me what the blunders were? I don't understand how watching the game replay super fast is supposed to help. I'm clearly missing something here. Thanks
