IOS app bugs 2/21/2016

Same here, iPhone 6 (iOS 9.2.1). Can't tell if it was a Lichess or iOS update that caused it since my apps update automatically, but it's basically unusable now.

- Fades in extremely slowly on startup, and tapping anything isn't possible until the fade finishes.

- The [...] button in training doesn't work.

- Generally feels very unresponsive all of a sudden.

- Small detail, in case it sheds any light on it: the piece captures feel weird now. The capturing piece slides in behind the captured piece, which disappears abruptly after the capturing piece stops moving. Can't remember exactly how it looked before, but it feels glitchy now.

Happy to provide more details if needed, hope it gets fixed soon! For now I have turned to the chess.com app for my public transport chess needs, which is no fun.
in my android phone the app freezes when I want to move from a correspondance game to the next.
Last app update: monday feb 22

You mean you are the developer of this app and you have no idea what I am talking about when I talk about a weird image that appears on screen when launching the app on the iPad, and then which fades out as the app fades in?

Here is the image:

I'm having the same issues. Unresponsive interface compared to before. "..." not working. Problems with Training. iPhone 6 and current iOS (9.2.1).
I'm having issues with the Android app v2.9.0 where anything to do with my current games freezes the interface. Trying to move a piece, trying to switch between them, etc. Training works and I can look at past games in my profile just fine, but active games are unplayable right now.
I myself could reproduce the bug in training page (... button doesn't work).

I have a good confidence that this bug is the same as all the other bugs where the app hangs when hitting a button. Even if I could not reproduce all the other bugs.

You must understand that each device and each os version has potentially their own problems and that I can't test them all since I'm the only one dev and doing it on my free time...

That being said a new version is on the process to be released... as soon as it passes the apple store validation.

The weird image and the fading should be gone with that version too.
@veloce
I understand, sorry if I sounded somewhat petulant.
Thanks for your work, and feel free to write to me if you want me to test something on iPad with my OS version.
Thanks for your great work! Even before the new version @veloce mentioned, sometimes the buttons have worked for me and sometimes not.

Lichess=Like*5000! Thank you again!
