This is unfair to the iOS app users. To list a few: 1. Multiple premoves. This can be very good in ladder mate endgames, but for iOS users, you need to go to the website. 2. Daily premoves. This is a very useful feature, but for iOS users, you need to go to the website. This is all i know, but i'm pretty sure there is more. Chess.com, iPhone and iPad is very popular, please do something about this.

I agree, or a discounted membership because we are paying the same amount for less features

Yeah, there's been inequality for a while. They probably won't do anything about it, though. I asked if we'll ever get conditional moves, and apparently it's "on the roadmap." People have been asking for it for several years. It's honestly sad that iOS gets fewer features, and I doubt chess.com will let us catch up to Android.
On a more optimistic note, they HAVE made some progress, though, which is always promising. They added Puzzle Points and the Puzzle Journey - an Android-exclusive feature for a very long time - to iOS and the website. They recently increased the chat character limit to that of Android and the website. It is 500 on the website and on the Android app, but it used to be 125 on iOS. However, they did recently increase it up to 500 like everyone else.
In conclusion, while they have been slowly giving us the features that everyone else has, I highly doubt we'll ever catch up to Android and the website. I believe in chess.com, but I wouldn't put my money on us iOS users reaching equality anytime soon.

But this is kinda weird because actually there are more iOS users than Android users, and iOS has better hardware to hold these features.

Okay, but the website is less convinient. For example, the chess board has the size of the 1/3 of the screen on the website vs. the whole screen on the app, which is not good especially on a phone.
