Mobile Chess Requests

Sort:
TheGrobe

I thought I'd create a blanket topic for requests for enhancements to the Mobile Chess application.  I used to have a laundry list of requests, but many of them have since been added and this application is really coming around.  I do still, however, have a couple of additional things I'd like to see:

  • The ability to turn vacation on, and more importantly off, from the mobile app.  I'm often willing and able to play from my Blackberry but am unable to because I'm stuck in vacation mode and can't turn it off via the mobile app.
  • The ability to turn on a timed refresh of my games, and to have the icon for the chess.com application change when I have a new pending game.
  • To have the game alerts on my Alerts panel clear games if I've viewed them via the mobile app.  Often I've reviewed a position on my Blackberry but have not yet made a move.  When this is the case, the game still appears on my alerts panel despite my already having viewed it.

Any other ideas out there?

For the iPhone app, I would love the ability to read forums and blogs... though, if that ever became possible, I doubt I would use any of the OTHER apps I have on my phone... I would only ever use the chess.com app! :)

What I find odd is that if it's not your turn to move, you cannot read or reply to messages in the game.  I don't know if this is intended behavior or oversight.

Hi,
I use mobile chess on a Samsung c3050. Working OK except a little problem: the small chessboard is too big: 5 or 10 pixels are missing on each side of the board so the pieces and the board are a little cut.
The first letter of the name of my opponent is missing.
It doesn't prevent me from playing (after all, I can see all the pieces) but it would be cool to see the chessboard entirely.

I suggest implementing a 'very small' chessboard for phones with a little screen

Thanks for reading me.

Why is there not a windows 6.5 app?? Please release this soon!

I understand that if you turn vacation on then you can't play no vacation games from your mobile but you can from a computer. Can this be fixed please? See vacation questions in help forum for further details.
