    Version 0.25.5

    I've had a fold variant of phone for many years now and there is still not proper support for them. Since the new app released I can no longer see my time. I play mostly bullet. On the old app, I couldn't see names, material difference, or click the chat option while my phone is unfolded. Now it's worse with the clock hidden. Please update your support for this. Playing with my phone closed is too small- it's why I use a fold in the first place. Other than this, the app is amazing.

    The app is performant, customizable, and has more functionality than the legacy app. However, there's one thing which was initially confusing. When opening the account page by tapping your profile image in the upper right, it opens "in" the home/puzzles/learn/etc. page you're currently in. For example, if I open the account page in Puzzles, move to Home, then move back to Puzzles, the account page will reopen, which is unexpected; I would expect to go directly to Puzzles.

    Version 0.23.13

    I am guessing the latest update improved things behind the scenes. The UX is worse. Still a good free chess app, just a bit annoying to use. I'll be more specific: 1.App takes longer to load. 2.I've customized the home screen to include the item I want (Puzzles); clicking that doesn't show a puzzle, as expected, but instead shows my stats. 3.Clicking Puzzles at the bottom of that screen *also* doesn't give me a puzzle. I need to scroll down again to find what I want. 4.There are more, no space.
