edit : The apple review process can be agonisingly slow at times, even for beta releases, so the delay for fixes might be measured in days, not hours.
Original post
The new v6 IOS app is now in beta (now in Apple's "testflight" ).
- Improved navigation for board actions—no longer clustered under a single button on the action bar.
- A much better dark mode implementation (with dynamic choice that matches your system settings).
- Optional animation of your opponent's last move, just like in the recent web update.
- Access to board preferences and settings directly from the board during play.
- A redesigned new game form, plus many other minor quality-of-life improvements.
If you would like to help test this new release (screenshot on X) then let me know below so I can get an invite sent to you.
Thanks,
The Android v6 app is now ready for production, and the iPhone app is ready to go once there has been some more eyeballs on it for final testing.
Thank you to those already taking a look, enormously useful, but we certainly could do with a few more.
Anyone else? Thanks in advance.
Apple Test flight here
@zenmester saidAh, OK, the old board preferences were not easily migrated forwards, so that will be an issue for all upgraders eventually. Thank you for bringing it to me attention.
for some reason the app changed my original board selection to brushed steel, which it was not.
@Russ
Board and piece options are not being saved and are defaulting back to the preset. It would also be nice to see a preview of what is being selected.
@Pancakedan
Board preference when set from the the board do work (please confirm for you too), but I can reproduce your issue for the preference not correctly saving when set from the side menu.
This is a regression, as this was tested successfully previously. Thanks for alerting it.

It would also be nice to see a preview of what is being selected.
I agree, but this is one for another day.
@zenmester saidI'm not seeing this in an emulator? Can you send a screenshot in TestFlight please.
using an iPhone SE version 3, the last row of pixels are missing from view.
When you see the issue, please do as follows :
Navigate to the screen in the RHP Beta that you want to capture (e.g., where you see a bug, UI issue, or something to report to the developer).
Quickly press and release both of these buttons at the same time:The Side button (also called the power/lock button, on the right edge of the phone).
The Volume Up button (on the left edge, the top volume button).
The screen will flash white, and you'll hear a camera shutter sound (if your sound is on). A small screenshot preview thumbnail appears briefly in the bottom-left corner.
