I can' seem to figure out how to reject the offer. The only option I get is "OK".
Well, I got an answer from the developing department. They answered me they're working on it, meanwhile we have to keep accepting/rejecting draw offers from the website.
I've experienced a strange bug. It appears when u play live chess and rewind the game a few moves in your opponents turn. Sometimes when u do that and your opponent move your game freeze. It becomes impossible to move and all u can do is watch the time run out until u lose. Its happened to me about 10 times now. I use iphone4s.

My app, when I set up a game position that I want the engine to analyze, often sees a phantom piece next to a castled king and outright refuses to consider any move that isn't KxH1. extremly annoying, throws off the whole analysis. also, after doing so, it always crashes after a few seconds of thinking.
I no longer use chess.com app.
Chess.com app has been updated several times and LOTS of bugs had been fixed. Don't give up, this guys are working hard to make us happy.

To add onto the complain train... my friend (USCF 2000+) doesn't use the chess.com app anymore cause he doesn't trust the app accessing his phone's info! Also, too many advertisements. He also closed his chess.com account for Internet Chess Club. If I were rated higher I'd do the same, but chess.com seems to lay a good groundwork for beginniners.
Hi everybody,
It has been a while since I'm using iPhone Chess.com app, I've been using 3 releases till now. It's a great app (far better than Android app), but I have to say there are few things that could be improved in it.
1.- "Error. Your session has expired. Please log in again" Message is still popping up apparently with no reason at all. I press Home button and Online button again to re-enter to my games list.
2.- App crashes frequently.
Those bugs above are big ones. Now I would propose something to the app developers (or whoever is the manager of that) to make iPhone app even more useful.
1.- I don't see if my opponent wrote something to me in the chat. I mean, the asterisk inside the balloon is so tiny that if you don't look straight to it you don't realize he is talking to you. Maybe some popping up window or coloring the button while unread messages would help.
2.- While in "Analisys" window, wouldn't be great a "Current" button at the top right corner of the screen?
3.- When the opponent offers draw, every time you open the game you have to reject that offer. Is not enough rejecting once? I mean, when you are playing from the website you reject once and it's done, but until you do that, you're receiving draw offers from iPhone app.
Well guys, I wrote this only because I love Chess and I love Chess.com. I think everybody's opinions could improve everything in this community.
I hope somebody will read this and think "Oh my God, that's true!!" ;D
See you, guys!
