Chess.Com App 1.5

It hasn't been submitted - reason being it's going to be a BIG patch & we think people are going to like it a lot more.  We've addressed issues with notifications, animation speed, computer analysis, overall performance & usability.  It's taken longer than hoped, but it's a much better experience and we're just cleaning up a few last issues before sending it to Apple.

On their end, it's not really consistent. The last update was less than a week!

Thanks for the update! I'm definitely looking forward to it.

We are there!  The app was submitted a couple of days ago (sorry for not shouting out).  I think it's a pretty huge improvement!  :D

Come OOOONNNNN App Store!

Yaaaaay! Can't wait to see it.

The upgraded app is a huge improvement and gives back all of the things that were lost in the conversion from 1.4 to 1.5 - I think all of the complaints I've heard have been addressed and then some.

I just installed the June 9 update (on iPad 2). It was MUCH faster with moves and loading the next game. . . until I tried to move in the 4th game, and now it's like I'm locked out. I can play the computer, but not in online games. This makes me think they're headed toward limiting moves in the app on free accounts. Or is it just broken now? Has anyone else tried the latest version?

I can't even open mine. It goes black like it's about to open for about a tenth of a second and shows my home screen again

New app is completely broken for me on my iPhone 4. :( As soon as I try to go to online games it crashes. Tried rebooting and then deleting completely and installing new and still see the same behavior.

@whitestallion & @ElizaLulu

Very sorry to hear that!  Whitestallion are you also using an iPhone 4?

It seems like in both your cases, the app is actually crashing.  As such it would be super helpful if you could send me a crash log after the next time you sync your device with your computers.  That is by far the most revealing thing we could look at, to figure out and resolve whatever the problem is...

Instructions may be found here, if you're able to do it:

Many thanks. You can send the crash logs to deepgreene@chess.com.

I'm at the National Open without a computer so won't be syncing again until Monday. Will send then if it is still needed.

Ok, so cool... We're in the same hotel.  Look for a guy in a Chess.com ball-cap tomorrow, and you can just show me the problem.  Laughing

(That won't actually help, but its always nice to meet other members.)

The new update doesnt work? I not yet installed mine because I'm scared that it has problem and can't install back... Does anyone have it working well? Or what kind of issues does it have?

Too funny! I'll get Matt to point you out and I'll introduce myself. :) DeepGreene wrote: Ok, so cool... We're in the same hotel.  Look for a guy in a Chess.com ball-cap tomorrow, and you can just show me the problem.  (That won't actually help, but its always nice to meet other members.)

i updated and it works perfectly (and much faster). but we do need to get to the bottom of the problems...

I updated and now can't make a move in the first five waiting games.  I am using iPhone 4.  When I try to make a move I can't move my pieces.  When I click on the analize feature I can move my opponent's piece first and then my piece but I can't move either in the game mode.  Yes it is my move when I enter the analize mode.

Did you remove the old app first or install over it ?

Avatar of erik

guys: some really big bugs just got introduced - our apologies! looks like you can't move in any thematic games where it was black to move first. we're working on it! meanwhile, you'll have to make those moves on the site. very sorry!
