The app quality got really bad over the last months. Your UX design was incredibly good a couple of years ago, but every new UI change for some reason is absolutely terrible??? It feels like you replaced your UI team with some amateurs. For the price you demand for premium features, one can expect bug fixes. Among other annoying bugs, the explorer is entirely broken when reviewing matches.

We're sorry to hear this. If you have suggestions on how the interface could be better, please let us know at: www.chess.com/support. We value players' feedback! The Explorer feature should still work when using self-analysis or Game Review. Please submit a quick bug report at the same link if the problem persists. We'll work to resolve it!

Very good app, I like all the improvements over the years, but to don't have a 1vs1 mode on the same device is a 3 star for me. LE: I don't have any option for pass and play in the more menu! LE2: the option is indeed there and very hidden, thanks for pointing it out! Maybe make it easier to get to it. 5*

Thank you for your review! :) This option is available and it's called "Pass and Play". It's found in the "Play" section, then tap on "More" button, and you will see the "Pass and Play" feature. It allows you to play with a friend on the same phone!

Its great! The only thing I'd say could be improved is the reliability of the analysis tool, because sometimes it just refuses to work and it's really annoying, because you know I'm paying 50$ for this so I expect it to work most of the time, and also the pricing is really weird because the diamond subscription on mobile is just 50$, but on computer its woah 100$??

We were experiencing a brief technical problem with Game Review, but our team worked to resolve it as quickly as possible. If you're still experiencing any issues with Game Review, please let us know in a quick bug report at: www.chess.com/support. About membership pricing, you likely had a 50% discount thanks to a promotion last year! :)
