I got the update yesterday, still trying to get used to the new layout. I like that it shows more statistics and things like the ratings history.

I also like that you can access the recent game history now.

A couple of requests for the next update:

1) provide a board and pieces theme that matches what was available in the old app--the new ones are fine but I don't think any are as simple/clean as some of the older choices

2) the settings no longer have a place to set the ratings range min/max for your new game challenges.

3) I don't like the new layout which puts taken material icons next to each player. In the old app the taken material for black and white was right next to each other and it was immediately obvious what the material difference was.

4) in the previous version in analysis mode you could see bothe the past few moves and the engine calculations. Now you can see one or the other but not both at the same time. I prefer the older way

Where is "Set Up position" when playing computer?

Id also like to suggest that it needs a board where you can set a position up and analyse from there.

Thanks

That existed at iPhone app till latest update last week. There´s also other things that doesn´t work anymore, for excample you can´t continue the game against computer if you close the app.

Hi, I like the new app.  My one compliant would be that they removed the "setup position" option in chess computer.  Now it is much harder/impossible to show off a position or to practice the two bishop mate.
