@russ saidShould I expect a small rebate?🤔😉
The major web site update will be rolled out on the 6th May*.
As a result, there will be a short outage plus a suspension of timeout whilst any issues are resolved.
All platforms will be impacted, so apps too.
*This above work may be delayed by 24 hours - this thread will be updated if this occurs.

@Benjamin-Barker saidThanks, good to hear. I try to keep to the "Evolution, not Revolution" philosophy, so nothing should be too dramatically different for most despite a near total rewrite of the website backend.
Nice work, Russ! Love the new UI!

It’s nice on the iPad but effectively unusable on the iPhone. Sorry, just my opinion. I can see ONE game listed on the screen at a time in “compact” mode without scrolling. Still playing with various settings but I really liked being able to see the top dozen or so games (by most recent, or most moves, or least time, etc). Now…ONE game at a time. There’s just too much info at a time for the smaller phone screen, even in the “compact” (it’s not) mode. Any tips I’m missing?

@Odinson saidCan you let me know which iPhone you use? (And do you zoom the display by default?). All feedback is good, so I can address it - no need to apologise!

@Odinson saidJust keep in mind that the app is not a direct replacement for the web site, only the core functionality is replicated. But what is there is plenty for most.
@Benjamin-Barker
Thanks, that’s logical and I’ll have to try it.

@Sleepyguy saidThanks. I agree, the dark theme is a little undercooked - it needs some more attention once things settle down.
Nice job Russ. Must have been a lot of work. I Love the dark theme. My only suggestion is, in the dark theme, to brighten up the green of the text used for the user names and the buttons to increase the contrast a bit.
