The bot options have been updated, and the option to start from a custom position or to play with the analysis bar is gone, which is frustrating. I use the mobile app.

this. having the eval bar provides instant feedback on the quality of moves, which i find very helpful in training my intuition about a position.

Why did you remove this option? Extremely disappointing...

I read the online explanation from chess.com why live bot move feedback was removed. All, I implore you to give Google a query like "why did chess.com remove live bot feedback" and read the answer. Read between the lines. One of the reasons was "temporarily removing some features during testing". Chess.com: Respectfully, testing should not be conducted with paying customers using a released version of the software. It is a relatively expensive monthly membership cost, and the live feedback was specifically one of the reasons I decided on a paid account rather than a free one. Please don't make your migration to the cloud the problem of your CUSTOMERS and USERS.
So you're migrating to a different type of server? Once again, after recently retiring from a successful 35 year career as a software engineer, I can say with certainty you don't make major changes with your release version and use PAYING CUSTOMERS as your test group.

Well, if they don't bring this back quickly, they'll lose this paying customer.

So freaking tired of them making this site dumber and dumber.
Stop rolling out changes that nobody wants, nobody asked for, and frustrates people who pay.
