I’ve been telling chess.com to fix their app for years. It’s crazy that they don’t devote more time to improving what they have. They constantly just add more crap

The apps are meant to have the most used features and probably never will have all the same features. The apps have smaller development teams

If the site tried to include everything, the size of the app would be huge.

They’ve said for years that multiple premoves for the iPhone is coming. Think about that for a moment. They created an inequitable experience between users, putting iPhone users at a disadvantage, and have not put in the time and money to fix the problem.

I raised this question in a thread as well, it sucks that I can only chess game collections and forums via the mobile app. I'd love to have access to my chess files from the app as well

The app developer teams are smaller. They have to work based on staff availability and app priorities.

Seems like current app priorities are finding ways to deliver ads that hinder game play so that people will pay to remove the hindrance so that they can play chess
