This is one of the worst improvements that I can remember seeing. It's absolutely rubbish. No redeeming features at all.

It's kinda crazy how chess.com completely ingores user feedback despite so many people cancelling their memberships because of how terrible new UI is. I've cancelled mine as well btw.

Yeah, but they think something like this: "we don't care if 6000 people are leaving as we get 12000 paying newbies. " It is a horrible concept but at the end they will receive their karma.

I will not renew my membership but the thing is: chess.com doesn't care. They have enough other members. In the end it will be their downfall but at this moment they make a lot of money and they don't care.

I also want to add that I now downgraded my app to a version before the redesign since the new game review redesign really is unworkable for me. It really is much much worse in my opinion and I hope it will get heavily improved or preferrably the UI will move back to the previous design.
 
It also seems that only part of the users are getting this "new and improved" UI for game review. Others I know luckily still have the old UI, even with the app updated to the latest version. 

@HoundRock1 how do you feel about the october 19 change in game review? THey jsut now destroyed it... on iphone until october 2024, 18th at 3 am the morning of the 19th of october i was all ok with this look i posted before and in my blog

Do you have specific feedback on the changes?

yes, very. the old system was as good as it gets and the new one has too many annoyances to mention
just roll it back to the excellent system it once was. is that specific enough?
(ps: we've all figured out that our views are being ignored. chess dot com has a monopoly, so why should they care about paying users?)

My question was to the the post above mine, specifically about the recent iOS rollout.

That said, that feedback was vague and rolling back isn't in the cards. Specificity would include exact things that the current version doesn't do that you feel it should. I know there has been a lot of that in this topic.

Staff have taken feedback into account in the process and that's one of the reasons the iOS version is rolling out now as feedback has resulted in changes in the app format of the feature.

You are right, they don't care at all. It is unbelievable how they messed this up and (so it seems) made it even worse this week. Seems that is happening when you earn millions of dollars.

I hate the new game review, is there any way to disable it or go back to the old one?
