Alright. This game has always been stellar. Unfortunately as of late the quality had fallen DRASTICALLY. I have a Google Pixel 3A and moving pieces during games is incredibly difficult. Sometimes it'll move a piece where I don't want it to go, not move the piece at all, or just simply ignore my input. I've lost many games because of it and it never happened pre-update. This is a very serious issue especially in blitz and bullet games, or any timed end game. As of now, most of this is unplayable.

App lacks a lot of features compared to the web version and is very buggy. For example, it's very disappointing there isn't a lobby feature in the app but a correspondance feature that less people use than the lobby feature. This is why I tried playing in the web version in mobile but the screen zooms in and out in ultrabullet. Unfortunately, I have low hopes and expectations this message will get through. Thanks.

Best platform for chess around (and it's free w/ no ads!). Some issues: (1) Searching (advanced) seems to regularly produce a server error. _____(2) I'd LOVE the ability to access the learning exercises through the app (checkmate patterns, etc). That's one of my main interests at this point. _____(3) Would also enjoy being able to view the current evaluation, only, without seeing the moves as well.
