Ratings and reviews

The app itself functions fine and makes sense, but a lot of the basic features have been put behind a paywall, and are not worth the subscription cost. One silly example is the year in review that a lot of apps are doing now. You cannot see who your best partner or rival were without paying. I wouldn't even use this app if it weren't attached to ratings, just another cash grab. Don't pay for premium.

The new algorithm is ridiculous. Ratings now are far more inaccurate than they used to be years ago. They do not reflect a players level of play consistently, nor do they accurately correlate player performance with established standards. Player ratings can jump an entire dupr level in a couple of games. Player's abilities do not jump like that. The algorithm needs to take into account how long a player has been at a level. In chess ratings, non-provisional ratings don't spike up or down.

The Android version does not function properly. I compared my experience with 6 other players. Iphone users had a completely different and complete set of games while the Android users had only one of three, and the new games played made the older one dissappear. But, on the PC, all our games are there. If that is how it works on Androids, it is not worth using.
