Problems with the iPad App, Pt. Deux

I find it hard to believe that the people who designed the app. actually use it to play chess on chess.com.  There are two, major problems with it in my view. One, it's really hard to maneuver from the principal screen for playing (which is great all by itself) to other screens such as online chess and my home.  The second is that most of the functions that are available on a regular computer don't work, or at least I haven't been able to use them even after deleting and reloading the app a couple of times.  (They did work temporarily after one reload.)

First, a back button would be nice.  Second, the main screen that has the list of games, a), doesn't give any information like if its part of a tournament, how many moves have been made or the other player's rating, and, b), limits the screens to which one can go directly to Tournament and Stats.  From the board screen, one can only go back to the list.  To get to online chess, one has to go to Tournament, then press My Home where a tiny drop down menu appears which, if one is digitally agile enough, one can press the right choice.  I am uploading a few pictures of various screens from the app. into a second posting. The second screen looks like the screen that would show up on a regular computer, but none of the functions seem to work (i.e., one can't actually make moves from that screen, etc.)

How do you post a game with an iPad? The menu bar doesn't appear.
