4.6.0

August 26, 2024

Hey chess fans! Today’s build includes lots of small fixes and improvements throughout the app. Also, we’re slowly rolling out some experimental changes to the Puzzles feature, introducing a new level system where players earn points for every correct move! (Puzzles are still rated, as you can see in your Stats.) In this version, we have removed Coach from the new Puzzles interface because it isn’t really adding value… yet! We have some cool new (optional) Coaching features on the way though, so stay tuned! (Not seeing the new Puzzles feature yet? Don’t worry - that’s because we’re testing. It’s coming soon!) We hope you love this new version! If so, please consider giving the app a fresh five-star rating or review in the Store. We hugely appreciate it! Thank you - and enjoy your chess!

  • So cluttered and in your face

    Nice app but they ruin it with heaps of pop ups that attack you when you first open the app. Like let us open the app and do what we want not be blasted by a bunch of features that aren’t what we want. Have an updates alert sure in the corner but if it pops up all I do is hunt for the x. It’s like when a old beat up car is trying to start and you got to coax it to life. It’s just another thing between starting the car and getting moving.

    Also the notification settings are ridiculous, why can’t I see all the notifications in one view vs the 15 odd hidden categories which have you move in and out of to see the options.

    If your app is good, I’ll be in it. No need to try nudge us into using it more with all these notifications to see the new feature we didn’t ask for

    Developer Response

    Thank you for this detailed feedback! We like to let players know about the amazing training tools we have to offer (and the free trial!), but you can absolutely play chess for free with friends and new opponents around the world, and that will always be free. We'll also review the notifications settings on the app, since we want this to be as easy as possible for you to keep the notifications you want.
  • Terrible and laggy, especially for quick time controls

    On fresh opening this app randomly forgets what animation speed you have for your pieces, so the pieces will lethargically move in bullet. Occasionally the vibration after a move will not even work in games or inexplicably vibrate a half-second after making your moves.

    The (single) pre-moves you're able to enter can scarcely be considered that; you lose tenths of a second each time, despite being able to pre-move an entire endgame via a computer browser without any perceivable delays.

    Connection drops and significant time loss is guaranteed if you're playing on 4G: embarrassingly even the stone-age Lichess app doesn't have these performance problems. Sending/receiving data for a chess move should be a fractions of a byte, but evidently chesscom is sending armfuls of other data whenever you have the app open.

  • Unhappy

    When i subscribed to the Gold membership in August, it was said i would have unlimited access to my games analysis.
    Then it turns out i didn’t. I went back to check again and it still said so. The next day, it didn’t say so anymore.
    I complained. One of the guys from billing support told me that Gold membership conditions had changed since September 1st. I explained my subscription dated from August. And then someone different answered me and said that the conditions had changed since 2022, and that i had to upgrade to get access to unlimited game analysis.
    So: twice they told me one thing and it turned out not to be true.
    Really unhappy about that, cause the app is awesome, but you clearly don’t stand out by the loyalty of what their app publishes or what they support team reports on the emails.

    Developer Response

    Sorry for the confusion! Players who subscribed to Gold membership prior to September 1st, 2022 indeed had Game Review included, but Lessons and Puzzles were limited. Players subscribing to the modern Gold membership plan after that date will instead have unlimited Lessons and Puzzles, without Game Review. If there seems to have been an error on the membership page, please send us a screenshot at: www.chess.com/support. We'd be glad to assist you with any membership changes or refunds. Please note that with iTunes subscriptions it's necessary to contact Apple directly to receive a refund. Here is an article with the steps to follow: support.apple.com/en-us/118223. Again, please feel free to contact us for further assistance. We're here to help!
