New iOS app design is atrocious
Sort:
New design has a cheap, early 2000s aesthetic. The game review buttons in game history are laughably huge and the premium banner is hard to close now (I get it, you REALLY want us to buy premium). Major step backwards.

Yes! And if you try to get around that by posting on the website, it just turns into a bunch of code!
Yeah it is horrible, especially the live960 icon. STOP UPDATING THE UI!

It horrible.
I kind of agree on this… Worst are the stats logos (rapid, chess960, etc.) on player’s profiles now. They looked much cleaner before.
the bots cheat. it's ridiculous
The newest sounds on the puzzles are absolutely ridiculous. So annoying.
The degradation continues. With latest update, 1/3rd of my home screen is now “friend” related buttons. I can hide most of the junk in settings but not that.
I want to understand chess.com’s design process. Is this based on usage data or user surveys?

I think the majority of their resources and efforts are focused on serving up ad content and finding ways to land more monthly subscribers. Everything else is taking a backseat
