Having a lot of fun with the app. Just a few things:
-Can't click people's profiles in the forums.
-No way to look at groups or read group forums.
-Quoted sections don't appear to be quoted on the forums.
Otherwise, happy with live chess on the app. And I actually like doing tactics on the app more than on the desktop version of the site (since it doesn't count down, so you can't tell when you're about to start losing points on the problem from time).

actually... another thing... really not fond of the "perhaps you should try tactics" message in blitz whenever I lose a game. even if it intends to be helpful, it's kind of condescending
When you reach 1600, those tips won't appear. Actually we are planing to add more usefull tips, but more detailed that points to mistakes tha you make, like right after game analysis.

Maybe overquoted? Can you give us a screenshot, where it doesn't work? Thanks.
Well I don't really know what's the problem with my android app, but I can only use it for playing, whenever I try to acces the webpage, forums, etc. it just doesn't want to fit on my screen (I'm using a Navon 5" screen smartphone); the icons are perfectly fine on the top in one line, so are the ads, but forum conversations and articles are a mess, pictures and diagrams fitting just fine, but the text goes all over the place and when I move the screen away, the diagrams get shifted and falls apart.
Is there anything I can do about it, or am I simply missing something and this part is simply not yet available on an android system?
I am having trouble playing certain videos from the app, for example, the recent Live Sessions: Attacking Blitz Beatdown will not play.
What's that HTML symbol in the top left of your screenshot, alien_roger?!
Is it, like, a debugger? Or something...?
I never developed anything for Android. Though, I'd like to get into app development, perhaps.
Any web applications, I only test on iOS.
I used to love iOS and iPhones, really. But, half a year ago I got a Nexus 5 and am in love with it. You can't even scratch it 'cause it's got a plastic back. No need for covers. Much more screen real estate than iPhone 5. I think iPhone 6 is ugly, I'm never going back!
Android FTW! 
Ah, I just noticed the updates fixed the quote thing. Nevermind! Not sure if that was intended but it's working now.
A different issue I've noticed, now that I think about it, is I couldn't find a way to edit posts... is there a way?

I have a bug report: in tactics trainer mode, when I complete the task successfully, I get an info about my rating growth (like 1547 (+4)). However, when my solution is incorrect, the info about my rating stays the same... until I finish another task succesfully.
The rating value is shown like in example below (in few tries):
success: 1550 (+5)
failure: 1550
another failure: 1550
yet another failure: 1550
success: 1523 (+3).
After the (12-8-14) update, my Android app does not work at all. When I attempt to run it, I get the message "Unfortunately, Chess has stopped."
The app was great before. What have you done? (I have a Samsung SCH-R960 running 4.2.2)

Hello! I'll check logs right now, but i'm sure we already made fix for some samsung devices.
It's not our fault, really - it's all samsung :) - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78377
I'm not able to view other's games after the update. It just shows a board with no pieces.
Hello, can you give an example steps to reproduce? Did you try to view other's games from other's user profile? What device type do you have?(handset/tablet). Thanks!

Samsung is poor. You won't believe it, but I can tell you that the developers Samsung employs are pish poor.
It's been like that, since, ever. They just can't get together a piece of software that simply runs.
And without software, hardware is useless.
Check your Samsung S5 or whatever they're called. Expensive phone. Great hardware. But software? Utter pile of junk!
Unusable. Design is poor too.
