Thanks to those actively using the new Android app - any feedback, please don't keep it to yourself, post here or via feedback if preferred.

If it is all just working as before, that is still very useful to know, because that is ultimately what the goal is for most updates like this.

I've had a report of the (optional) opponent piece animation only happening when the board is touched, rather than after the board loads (same as web).

This is not the intended behaviour. Anyone else?

edit : 2 reports of this.

If you are on the beta, v6.0.2, please update the app now to v6.0.3,.

This is particularly important if you are on Android 16.

v6.0.5 just hit the play store for beta testers. This is a release candidate version, unless something serious crops up.

For anyone using the Daily Chess variant of the app, this is has gone straight to production and you should receive this update soon.

v6.0.9 in review, and available shortly in open testing/beta, ticking off common support requests for missing app features.

Includes image uploads for avatar/profile pic and header image, account name changes (normally new sign ups with real world names), and improved profile views for those with header/banner images. Also added the Daily Streak table to leaderboards among other things.

The latest build is a release candidate for production (v6.1.1), so this process will be winding down unless any last minute issues reveal themselves.

Thank you to everyone for taking a look, it has been very useful to have so many active users making their daily moves on the beta app.

Another build available shortly, v6.1.2, that improves animation (smoother) and also offers animation speed preferences.

You can almost certainly use the app then too, if you wish. Whichever phone you get. (There is an iPhone beta right now too.)

What would you suggest I get? In other words which do you think is the best. I don't have a clue about them. Are you doing some kind of a test?

I cant recommend which phone you get, but any modern phone will run one of the two apps. (Either an Apple iPhone or an Android phone of one of many different brands.)

Yes, new apps are available in test.
