Issues with Android 10

Hello,

I am not sure if this has been reported already but it is now nearly impossible to play fast time controls in the new version of Android.

In the new navigation system the back button is activated by swiping from either side of the screen. This is a big problem for the chess.com app, because moving any piece horizontally from the a and h files is very difficult now. You usually have to try multiple times and that makes it impossible to play any fast time controls.

Are there any plans to fix somehow this issue (overwrite/block the back command and add a back button on the screen?) ?

I would send this to support@chess.com and report the bug.

I know they are working on a major rewrite of the Android app so I assume they would test it but it doesn't hurt to let them know.
