New Android app - just landed on BETA
Hello Android Team!
We are super excited to announce that a few days ago, on 9/30/19 we released a new Android version to BETA. It took one year, thousands of tickets, crazy dev and product effort to have this app see the light of day. At this point it's far from perfect but hey - BETA testers should be ok with that. Details on how to join Android BETA are here. Now, here is whats new 
New Analysis
We have completely new analysis which has similar experience as web. (not yet available on iOS, haha 
). Variety of different features in there such as quick blunder check on the end game modal, full game report including recommended lessons and puzzles, retry mistakes option, etc. Full analysis is now available in seconds compared to 3 minute full analysis from before. Some screenshots are below.
New Puzzles (including Rush!)
Yeah, you heard it right, you can now play Puzzle Rush on Android and of course you can choose from different mods - 3min, 5min and survival. Regular puzzle (Tactics) experience is revamped too - we hope you like it.
New Lessons
Our whole new lessons experience is now available on Android - a couple of screenshots are below.
ChessTV
Finally we have ChessTV on Android as well. Now you can watch coverage for chess events, follow your favorite chess streamers and more!
New Vision and Drills
Vision and Drills got upgraded as well. We have the new UI/UX, and Drills are structured in a more meaningful way to help you improve your chess skills even faster!
New Home and UI
The change that you will notice right from the start is our new Home and navigation approach. Your favorite features such as Lessons and Puzzles are now one tap away while Connect and More tabs contain all the other features.
Accessing V4 in Beta
