Problem solved, it was an app issue

I thought the draw was declined as soon as the guy being offered the draw made a move without accepting it. That's what's always happened with me.

I have seen this often, but I believe ItsEoin is right.  You should be able to move without accepting or declining the draw.  I moved right on through 10 draw offers before I even saw them.  It is poor tactic ethically.  I have noticed the game does not keep track of draws with 3 repititions of the same board.

You have to claim such draws, per FIDE and USCF rules. It's not automatic.

ItsEion is correct just make a move and the game will continue
