The new Android App

I've just updated the Chess.com Android App. I got very dissapointed when I saw that you have skipped the Custom Option in the Live Chess settings. No bonus time and the longest time setting is 30 minutes. Why did you change this? I liked being able to decide the game time myself. The 30/30 setting suited me. I don't play every day but when I play at the chess.com server, I used the Android App. Now, I can't. I hope you gonna add the Custom Option again. If not, I won't gonna renew my membership again.

Well. Thanks for the hint. I can use a ordinary computer too. I'm more interrested in what the staff and constructors gonna say. If they say anything? You can't rely on an old version very long.

Thanks for the old version link...I grabbed it back immediately.

New app, is very swish,but lacks in many areas

I don't know how to flip board in new one.

Games get aborted by the server a lot

Its laggy,themes don't work properly, it crashes a lot

And I'm lot more prone to making touch pad errors

I'm sure it will be good in the end, but right now the new app is making wanna play somewhere else

I just started using chess.com to play in the WLoH tournament. I downloaded the Android app, but couldn't figure out how to challenge by user name to an online chess game. I had to go to the browser to do it. Can it be done through the app?

Overall, the app is very nice!

I liked the new version, maybe more setting options for the live chess would be great, but actually it looks great for me. 

Does anyone know if we can play live tournaments from the app?
