Can't watch games on the chess.com app, and can only watch the top 5 games on the browser

This has been broken for nearly a week.  I can no longer watch ANY games on my chess.com app.  If I hover over 'Watch' on the browser, I ONLY get a choice of the top 5 rated games.  I can't pick from any other games to watch.  Everything seems to be geared towards making me watch streamers.  I don't want to watch streamers, I want to watch chess.  Please let us watch chess games on your chess server.

Agreed. Chess.com needs to address this.

This was an issue in the past…. I wish they would concentrate on the stability of the app more before trying to add more crap/Bells & whistles!

I am sure watching games is popular to a lot of members and this should be fixed ASAP .

It really should be fixed. Ontop of watching the best players. The friend tab was useful to watching your friends play as well—- otherwise you gotta click their profiles individually to see if they are or not

Fix this PLEASE. Not interested in streamers, news, or tourneys. Just want to watch chess

There was a back-end issue that has been resolved, so it should be working again.

Watching games on the browser is still not working like it used to. When you mouseover 'Watch' you only get the top 5 games under 'Playing Now.' The 'Playing Now' can't be clicked. You can click on 'ChessTV' 'Streamers' and 'Events.' But you can't click on 'Playing Now' to choose what to watch. I really can't understand why watching chess is so limited here. I've been on here a long time, the biggest draw of chess.com for me is watching games.

'Playing Now' IS clickable on the app, and you get a huge list of games from which to choose.
