Lots of bugs ! The new app user interface looks nice, but that is where it ends. Notifications for online games no longer work. The time badge for pending moves does not clear when a move is made. Terrible update!

Latest improvement made the app alot better. Still takes a little too much memory for being a chess game, hopefully developers will sometime optimize!

New Version Adds More Bugs -- Again! Apparently none of the programmers have heard of testing, as the newest version adds more bugs. The old version was better.

Notifications After some many updates, you still haven't sorted this out. Notifications should show BEFORE you access the application, not afterwards otherwise what's the use in notifying me when by that time I have it on my screen

. Please do not have your app take up the whole screen. I want to be able to see my notification bar.
