Mobile App Alpha

And another comment, it would be nice if your current games could be scrollable left to right instead of having to click "more" to look at them (probably only relevant for correspondence for the most part).

Also will the opening book be put in on correspondence like it is on the website?
Can anyone test this app on one of the new super fast refreshing Android E-ink devices like e.g. the Onyx Boox Palma? Would be super relaxing for the eyes to stare at puzzles for hours on these devices ! Please post a video here if possible!
I have couple comments for usage standpoint.

Getting to the main menu sometimes means that I need to press back arrow multiple times. Not sure is this because I have multiple games (+puzzle) "open" somehow. Maybe due to use of notifications to get into the gamed.

To move from one correspondence game to another active game used to be "automatic", now I need to access main menu.

After I have finished a game, I would want to exit the app. Due to fullscreen mode, my android "menu" is hidden and I need to swipe from the bottom to see it. This has caused me to open the chat multiple times accidentally. Not sure if there is anything we can do about it, but it is a bit annoying.

Android 13 (Xiaomi Mi 11i)
One comment about the new alpha version.

With android there is a bit different aspect ratios between game mode and once game is finished. Not sure what changes there but a visible change can be seen when it happens.

Also rematch button does work, but it is really hard to see if there is a difference when someone offers it. Maybe a background or something similar could be changed when rematch is offered.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. I assume it's intentional, it seems to be switching in and out of full screen mode, which gives a bit more space for the board.
Although the transition is pretty jarring every time you play a game.
0.7.4:
- clock: should be horizontal, both times same (not autorotating, why should it?)
- ZEN mode: everything should be gone, even move-list, type of game
- puzzle mainpage: "more" expands to show themes, streak, storm. but then it should be named "less" to collapse (i think it should just alwys be expanded without any "more"
- settings: the pieces set logo looks like a stamp but not like a chesspiece
- arrows: please use same optics like in browser (thickness for eval, not color)
- analysis board: please a flip button
Having the option for Puzzles without rating would be great.
Thanks for the great job.
Sometimes after "closing" the app and opening it again I'm in the same game I played last time. This is expected. Then I go and press 'New opponent' it start to search a new game (previous game was rated 3+0) but first it says 'null' and after a while it says 10+5 and then a new game with 10+5 is started. I think first time I noticed this, it was casual game (previous game was probably rated 1+0) but last time it was rated game.
In tactics trainer, jump to next puzzle automatically toggled on does not jump to the next puzzle.

On puzzle dashboard, performance rating shows even when hide all ratings feature is on.

Android 14, pixel 7. App version 0.7.4

Thanks!
