New review presentation is awfull

glad to see so many like minded people. new look is not an improvement, its just bad. at least give us the option to switch to old version. btw, u cant always succeed chess.com devs, its ok.

I don't think I am like-minded, not totally. Sure, there are deficiencies in the new look, but all the deficiencies are irrelevant. All those silly features like the coach's speak bubble are totally useless to help you improve at chess. The engine analysis is the most important thing, and you don't even need Game Review for that. Game Review is just a fun feature, and it's still a fun feature. People are complaining way too much.

Different strokes for different folks. What may be important to you may be unimportant to others or visa versa. I'm sure you get it. I'm just pointing it out because you gave an opinion. In the end we're all alright! ")

I don't like it either

Totally crap, how can we go back to an older version on android ? Do we have to contact Chess.com support to complain about this new reviewing style ?

I just downgraded to version 4.6.24 (downloaded from https://echecs-chess-com.fr.malavida.com/android/ )and it works like before, will not update until they change that crappy review !!

Loading an APK from unofficial sources is risky and at some point old versions will no longer be supported.

I honestly tried to give it a try, see if it's as bad as it looks, and yes, it is!

Thinking of cancelling my diamond membership

I agree that the new review format is really really bad. I've given it a chance and I still hate it. I don't like that I can't see where the significant moves are and it's really hard to navigate between parts of the match. Rethink!

I have to add to these comments about the poor redesign of the Game Review. It was perfectly designed, but now it takes multiple clicks to compare played moves to the best moves. Please bring back the old version.

Previously we were able to choose - review as white or black - with the simple click of a switch. Now you have added TWO ADDITIONAL STEPS; I have to click on settings, then interface, then click my review choice.

This is frustrating and defeats the purpose of my membership level as I often use it to review games.

It may be the case that I need to reconsider the diamond level subscription as I can simply review on Lichess for free or get a cheap account on decodechess.com

I hope that you will address this issue promptly.

unfortunately it appears that the concerns of we paying customers are being (more or less) ignored. the new review system is awful, but at least some of us who complained early on have been reverted to the old system - temporarily

Do we need to contact support to file a complaint about that ? Is it relevant ?

The more people that file complaints to support the better in my eyes. I'm one of the people that has been reverted back ot the original and don't want to lose it again!

I also downgraded to previous version

Hey man,

Martin, you have already stated that you are not bothered by the review changes because you don't use it yourself? Is that correct? Hopefully I got that right. I feel the lack of empathy on your part makes you not the most effective representative of the site on this issue, or an advocate of the sentiments displayed on this forum thread. Can you send someone else out? Maybe someone we can at least threaten, maybe blackmail, but at least someone that can align with our feelings.

UP PLEASE

I use the feature and the staff member over the project has been involved is aware of the vast majority of the topics regarding the update and had been involved in this one.

Is there a chance to go back to the old system or to change that in a near future ?
