iPhone V6.0.x beta thread feedback

@Russ
The new look works except the color of the board might be selectable.

This is not an important fix. But because I play too many games I am often chasing the clock. On weekends I fall even further behind as its the weekend.
I usually try deal with all the games with less than 24 hours to go.
On the site its a red circle (vs green) and on the app its an orange warning (less than 24 hours) (vs grey)
No problems so far.
However when its late and I forgot to move etc I try get a 8-10 hour window so that I can at least chase the next day.
On site: for one game I am looking at now:
It tells me:
Time out on 16 Mar 26 20:37
This is about 11 hours away.
But on app it tells me:
Time out on 16 Mar 26 and gives no time sometimes but for this particiular game it says 1h58m time bank remaining.
Once again not a train smash as I will often log to the site to get the times. Would be nice if the app was similar.

If I click on an opponent from the list I see their profile but if I do that within a game I see my profile instead
Also the recent ratings trend doesn’t look right but maybe that has not been imported yet

After receiving an opponent has moved notification and opening the app (already open in background) the game is not displayed

v6.1.7 will be available as soon as Apple approve the new build. A couple of fixes (see original post).

One new feature - optional haptics when you touch a movable piece. Set to "light" by default, so you may want to increase that to at least medium if you can't feel it yourself. Try it, you may like it.

This may be pre-existing I can’t remember, but whey i click on a notification (iPhone) to say that an opponent has moved, when the app comes up I need to either refresh the board, or select ‘opponent move’ and then ‘my move’ to see the recent move

This now shows hours & mins when < 24 hours.

For both iPhone and Android, as this is not a client side change.

I assume it will move to normal app after the beta testing is done?

using an iPhone SE version 3, the last row of pixels are missing from view.

There has been feedback via TestFlight - very useful, screenshots help so much when fault finding individual cases. A couple have chosen to send as "Anonymous" though, so i cant contact them about issue raised. So, to address those here :

"the issue where a DRAW is offered but there’s no way to see the board before you accept or reject it."

I hate the brain symbol that brings up the analysis board!

This is the landing page when I have a game going the bottom line of pixels I hidden from view. (on iPhone SE (3rd generation)
)

I really need a count on this screen of how many games I have left to make a move on

Would be awesome to somehow animate like the old Battle Chess game from years ago and also have a 3D option.

When the lower box states “time bank is being used” it’s a bit ugly

my board started with asparagus on my iPhone. Not sure if that is a default for everyone. Takes some getting used to. I’ve managed to change it (via the board)

Also, very difficult to see black pieces that I have taken (black on black)

Running the latest version but still hard to see taken black pieces (black on black)
