No analysis board on app. Why?

any words from the devs?

It's quite a useful and straightforward thing and I see no explanation on why it's not integrated in the mobile apps.

Can chess.com please finally implement it or at least provide a rationale for not doing it?

I agree this is a hassle!

Please chess.com, just add it on the app. Pretty please. Or at least say why it's not there at the present time.

When I mentioned this on my review of the app they said:
"We wish we could put more web features in the app, but in order to keep the app running smoothly and efficiently, some things need to get left out. Let us know what feature you'd like to see on the app by writing to us at support@chess.com. happy.png"
However this doesn't make any sense as an explanation when analysis board is available for games you have already played, apparently without impacting smoothness or efficiency to a degree they care about.
They responded to my review within a day or so, whereas they haven't responded here yet, hint-hint.

Please add custom analysis to iOS app!

Inconsistency and user unfriendliness is chesscom’s middle name. I often wonder what they are doing with all the money they are making.

Iam also very upset with the inability of using the analysis board on the app. I rather have this instead of the game itself 😂. Thanks.

I need this in order to play board games with friends while we anaize them later. It'll be a good idea to have this on an iPad or phone and not to bring a computer every time.

I’d also love to have this. I just sent an email telling them as much, maybe if enough people reach out, they’ll add it to the app.

There's an analysis board that works nicely on an iPad web browser here: https://lichess.org/analysis

+1 for this! I can do this in the browser but not on the app, frustrating!

Ah, just saw this post after asking whether I was missing it on my iPad app

I also would like this possibility, just to be able to use my iPad as a chess-board with another human player.

Even beter when the other players pieces are upside-down (for him/her normal). Like a real chess board.

It's so sad how superior LiChess is while being 100% free, and in this one they just give excuses, mediocre developers.

I agree 100%

Two years later and still no analysis board on app?

what a shame...

Really poor that this isn't the app, I refuse to believe adding this would be any sort of burden on the app's performance or a big effort to implement. I've just signed up for a gold membership but having realised this isn't in the app, I'm questioning that purchase

Didn’t even know about Lichess but just downloaded the app and wow. Thanks for the recommendation! Had one day left in the trial diamond here. Whew
