Right here :

Android App on play store

I'm still at the "book reading" stage (I need to learn iOs programming) for the iOs (iphone/ipad) app, but I have committed now to actually making it natively. It should feature match the Android version. I can't give a date for when that will arrive.

I have come across an issue with the Android app where you have moves to make in other folders than the default inbox. Maybe there is a feature I don't see.

I have the 2014 championship games in their own folder. I can't see how to navigate to them

On my S3 android 4.3 while the main game screen stays on, as set in the parameters, the analysis screen times out and turns off. Can the analysis screen also stay on when the keep screen on parameter is set. I have a short display time-out to help save battery but in this case ...

Yes, this clearly was an oversight. I'll get that in on the next version. Hopefully not too far away, as I have some stuff I intend to add fairly soon.

Recent musings:

1. Can we see more than 50 games?

2. Time remaining should not include timebank. At least make this configurable. I can't tell the difference between games where I have ten minutes before using timebank and 20 hours before using timebank... they all say "over 24 hours remaining".

A new build will be going live July 1st, which is primarily about better support for non-English users, but this fix has been packaged into it too.

It will be tagged as version 0.2.2c.

Russ,

1) Can you make it possible to save notes without having to submit a move (as in the normal site)?

This is what I recently encountered (while testing the app for the first time):
I wanted to save a note, without submitting a move (I hadn't decided yet). On the old site, this was possible by clicking submit move, without actually selecting a move. Hence, that's what I tried. However, apparently some move got submitted accidently. Unfortunately, this move was a blunder, which is what (oh coincidence) I wanted to write down in the note. This move had been selected, but was cancelled BEFORE I pressed 'submit'.

2) Make sure that no move is submitted, when no move is selected while pressing submit. Accidents happen easily with touch screens, so it's best to be save about this. Perhaps even ask for a confirmation?
