No 'Save Computer Game' option in Android app?!

I mean, the Android app of chess.com is freaking horrible, to put it in a few words. The number of drawbacks it has compared to the website, and the worst is definitely not being able to save computer games there, which can be done on the website. Please, here's an earnest request, if there is a problem with daily games on the website, atleast make the app a little better for the users who are being forced to play there, or else its a frying pan and fire situation for us. And, to top it all, once the app is installed, I can't even play vs computer on the website, and it automatically opens in the app, which is terribly annoying. Why not give the user 2 options?

Please write in English, I'm not German and this isn't any German forum (if this indeed is German, what you've written).

Update:There isn't a 'Tournament' option in the app! Wow! Just wow! Believe me, the app is just shambles.

Saving bot games is possible. After the game click the game menu and Add to Archive 

You can play vs Computer on web still, just need to right-click and open in a new tab.

Couldn't it be made much easier, though? Like putting it on the main menu or the homepage, like the website?

Weird. I didn't see it, but I presume I must have missed it.

My assumption is they want to minimize the number of options shown while still providing many of the features.

And what good will that minimising do?

Too many options can make apps cluttered, confusing, and harder to use.
