Bug in iPhone chess app
Sort:
Even if I shut down the app, when I return to the live mode it still tries to reconnect to the server or find the old game( not sure if I remember the specific waiting message)
Which iphone do you have? I noticed that when running the Chess.com app on my 3G, it had major network problems at times almost unusable. Then I got a 4S and on that it has no network problems at all, same app version. Go figure... Don't know if it was the phone or the ios version (4.1 on the old one and 5 on the new).
I have the iPhone 4. This seems to me like it's something chess.com can fix from their end though. After the connection is lost and the game is over, Live chess on the app should be able to connect to the server and pull this information when you have a stable connection. Instead it gets stuck, and it's unrelated to connectivity issues because online chess works fine. It's a glitch, and it should be fixed

Sometimes when I'm playing live chess on the iPhone chess app, I'll lose connection. Ok, thats fine, sometimes my connection isn't all that great. The problem is that whenever I try to play again, it gets stuck trying to reconnect, and never gets out of this loop. I'll go home, use wifi and other online features on your chess app will work, but live chess is still stuck in this infinite reconnect loop, even hours after my ten minute live game is surely ended. The only way I've found to circumvent this is to delete then reinstall the app. I've done this three or four times already and I'm losing my patience. Why even have this feature if it's not going to work?
