Archive malfunction.
04/06/2025

04-06-2025
I really love the app for the most part but Iâm having a big issue with the my archive not showing most of my recent games. Itâs not some setting I opted into either so this is very frustrating for me, I have so many won games and progress I was looking forward to tracking- so why are you doing this? I tried looking up a solution from support team online and got nothing, except many other users complaining about the same issue (some comments dating back 3 months). What is going on? If itâs a bug, you donât seem to be doing much to fix it.How do I go from here? I really need my game history back.

My thoughts on the app.

Great app, learning chess is hard but this makes it abut easy with the puzzles and other practice options. But and this is a big âBUTâ I hate the way it disconnects me in the middle of a game and I have to loose points on my rating. This happens when my internet is fine but the app itâs self disconnects from the server and I have to loose a game because it auto disqualifies you.

This is probably the best site to play and learn chess , there is just one thing I expect to be implemented and that is every user should be able to delete chats in their messages. There are so many messages I have that are not worth keeping but I have no way to delete them.
