Hmm, what part of the website or apps are you talking about?
What happened to the FORWARD button?

Apple app upgrade removed forward arrow. Only undo. You can't go back and forward anymore to review how you got to a particular position when playing a bot. If you undo a move something different might happen going forward.

It's not just the app, it's also the website. In the past, when playing bots, you could hit the back button, then forward. it was handy to see the previous move again. Now when I click the back button, i can't go forward, so it acts like an 'undo'. ya i guess i can click on the 'previous' move and the 'current' move, but im so conditioned to using the back button after using it all this time, that this sudden behavior change of the back button is negatively impacting, and this is one of the first rules of UX design. Don't change existing button behavior on an established application. Something that chess.com and Microsoft LOVE to do.
