Notifications are bugged
I always have a “1” badge notification no matter what, and don’t receive any push notifications. I could have three correspondence games awaiting response or no games (and no messages) and still there is that “1”badge and still no pop up notifications. Analysis board is glitching out randomly too. And this has been an issue since launch, but if you finish a correspondence game in the app, the rematch button is always greyed out. I can rematch on the web but not in the app. Want to love it, but these issues need to be addressed. Three weeks later and still no fix by the way.
Oh crunchy
Love but issue
I like the app and it’s easy to use but for someone reason I’m not receiving notifications when it’s my turn to move. I play games with long response times and it’s frustrating to have a game time out because I’m not notified. I’ve toggled my phone notifications several times but nothing works.
