I have installed this on my Lumia; however, I don't see any great advantage over accessing the site directly through the browser, except for the live tile telling me how many games I have with moves to make. I take notes a lot as I play and I find that the notes don't scroll and also the return key doesn't work.

You can play on your phone using the browser? I thought the browser version relied on Java applets which are not supported except on desktop?

I think the only part that uses Java is playing against the computer, which I can't do, even on my PC. Yes, I could upgrade my Java, but why bother.

No. They were in the works, but some time ago the devs stopped working on the WP app. However, you can still use Tactics Trainer in your Lumia.

Windows 10 is out quite soon, hopefully we'll get a new app.

This application seems to have been recently updated (September 9th) but the only way I found out was my game was not updating quickly, if at all. Today, I found that my game had not updated, despite exiting and restarting a few times. I then managed to access my notes through the analyser, but found that they had not been updated for some time. When I tried to access them through the playing board, I received the message "The app version is out of date. Please update the app." I thought that Windows phone apps automatically updated. When I pressed Update, I got to the app overview screen with a view button, as it was already installed. So I tried removing the app and reinstalling but, when I tried to log in, I got the same message, "The app version is out of date. Please update the app."

So it looks like you've broken the app. I'm trying to use this on a Nokia Lumia 635. No problems until recently.

If I don't get a reply, I'll file a support ticket.
