Hey chess.com,

I got some difficulties playing with the app. I got v3.2.10. The android app and it runs on android 4.3.

One thing is not a bug, but just some confusion from my side (that others may have too): when I click "play" in the left menu I get to a screen where I see somewhat like this:

5/2  [PLAY]
Open challenges*
Create challenge*
Play a friend
Play computer
Watch
Tournaments

* perhaps note that this an Online Challenge, I started a couple Online games because I thought I'd send out Live Challenges :)

weird... the 2nd part of my message got lost?

The real bug I experience:

When I tap play in the screen I described, and select 5/2 or 10/0 for instance, then the app starts searching. After a while it says: Want a faster Match? Try a standard time control.

Which is weird, because I selected a standard timecontrol (5/2, 10/0). Also if I keep waiting it will keep searching but never seems to find an opponent.

When I downloaded chess.com on my phone every thing works and I am able to play daily games but when I try to play a real time game it says low connection or bad connection but I am able to send messages to my friends and the only way to play is to be connected to WiFi  which cannot fit in my schedule when I am on the long drive to school with my mom and sister.
