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.

One of the better cross platform chess apps out there. Works well from Wi-Fi and cellular (3g or better). There's a lack of consistency between mobile app, web app, and desktop versions. Needs to have better social features as it's hard to find your friends and chat notifications are non-existent. Android version freezes after playing from a notification (versus launching the app).
