live chess in android

my concerns are as follows

1.) We can't see and join games created by other users. (i can only play when i create a game and someone joins me)

2.) When i play live, sometimes, after i move, my opponent doesn't move. Maybe on his end, i didn't move. and i end up losing the game due to my move not submitted. even if i tap "submit" botton. i don't know what caused this. I didn't open any other apps, or whatever.

3.) When i play live on mobile, after i move, i notice like a 1-5 seconds delay, but when i play live, there is no delay. I am using the same wireless internet access so internet speed shouldn't be a factor. I end up losing the game because of time disadvantage. My move, 1-5 secs delay, after opponent moves, another 1-5 secs delay.

I guess these are the main things i wanted to have you guys fixed. i'd say if you get these all fixed, i'd say Chess.com Live is the best place to play chess!

I have the same problem.  To be honesst the Chess.com app for Android is easily one of the worst apps I have ever downloaded.  It seems like they update the app every 3 seconds and it always gets worse...never better.

So I don't use it for live chess.

what do you use it for? play against computer? there are other apps that you don't need to connect to internet to play.

I was mostly using it to play my turn based games here at Chess.com but it is pretty lousy app.

The 'open seeks' in live i will investigate.

What other issues are you experiencing on the app?

If you don't tell us, we won't know what issues you're having on the app :(

The ads have slowed it down considerably.

It doesn't log off when I log off.  It continues to run.

And it hhas had some glitches letting me know that it is my move when I do keep it running.

Every once in awhile after I have logged in and try to to go "play online" to make a move, the screen will go black.  Then I have to back to the home screen again.  This seems to be a by product of the ads.

I have a weather app that has adds and it is not glitchy at all.

Thanks for the honest feedback, it is very much appreciated. I'll work on getting these issues corrected.

Your welcome!  I apologize if I came off snippy at first.  Chess.com is a great site.  I have a notoriously low threshold for software issues be it on my phone or pc.  My friends like to point that out to me quite a bit.  :)

Under Challenges in the droid live, it doesn't show open seeks there. Challenges show any direct challenge you receive.

tell you honestly, chess.com live chess is the main reason why i switched to android!

now since i am on android, i hope i get the most out of it. 

anyway, my concerns are as follows

1.) We can't see and join games created by other users. (i can only play when i create a game and someone joins me)

2.) When i play live, sometimes, after i move, my opponent doesn't move. Maybe on his end, i didn't move. and i end up losing the game due to my move not submitted. even if i tap "submit" botton. i don't know what caused this. I didn't open any other apps, or whatever.

We are working on issues guys. The developer is on vacation at the moment so there won't be any updates just yet, but all issues are being noted.

Please continue to post here if there are issues (other than those already posted on here) - i have this thread tracked so i'll know whats posted on here and can monitor it.

Also, when posting on here the issues you're having, it'd really help me if you could add which droid and version you're using, and which app version it is.

You can find the app version by going into settings/applications/manage applications / chesscom  It'll show on the top right which version number it is.

Hi Kohai, i'm using samsung galaxy s2 (i9100)

version 1.84.

My droid version is 2.2.3 gingerbread.

I'm no longer experiencing disconnection now. Thank you. but for lags, i see some like 2 seconds lag and delay every move of me and my opponent. this isn't as big of a prob but would be great if you get a chance to fix it too.

thanks
