It was perfect. What the heck. This looks like something they start out with. Even the game play sucks. I have to repeat the move if I move too fast. Sucks if you play bullet. 

Can I go back to the old version? Whatever the old app developer was charging, get him back lol

Same problem here!

The same here... Is the 15 min option still there can 't find it... Was my favorite game and I lost my points too. Is there a way to use the previous version please?

4.0 sucks..!  Please, if anyone figures it out on how to go back to the previous version let us know.

I've lost 8-10 seconds of play on my games. For bullet that's killer. The fast weak players are beating me now. Lost 150points

They made everything jumbo Size. No clue whose calling the shots on the new game play and design, but they need to hand it over to someone that has some talent. Can't play like this.

Totally agree, they ruined the smooth interface we had. Moreover, can't set the Classic theme, the brown one.

Tried it, can't enjoy my games anymore. Uninstalling. 

 

Will try again in a few months. What a disaster of an app.

So I shouldnt update the app? It's says there's an update but if the goes I may go. So much easier to use the app on my tablet.

I'm running 4.0.0 version and it's fine.

Too bad none of you signed up for the beta group.

Why's that?

A lot of people who love fast chess refuse to play it on this website.  I think this is more of a place for forums and daily chess.

How would you know? You haven't played one single game of blitz or bullet.

If you had been a member of the beta group, you would have had access to trying out the Android app months ago and had a chance to point out areas that you believe continue to need work.

I don't play bullet but the performance on blitz seems improved over the prior version.

I still prefer playing on the website. Mousing seems faster than finger-pointing.

The additions of Puzzle Rush to the app is fantastic.

Actually most of the chess I play is blitz or bullet but I wouldn't do any of it here

So you haven't tried it, but somehow felt compelled to share your lack of knowledge?

Why take away the brilliant move?  If people thought they were rare it's because they are right it is rare and hard.  That's the point
