For iPad check iChessPack HD. Really solid FICS client.

JC on Bugs: Adjourned games / Disconnect problem

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 07:45:31 -0700

First, congratulations for this fine piece of software and thank you for adding fun to my life .

I like your software a lot but I noticed some little bugs that are somewhat annoying.
I’m not sure if it’s ok posting them here, but I can’t find any other way to communicate with you:

Bugs:
1) When you have an adjourned game and login to FICS, the software propose you to match the other party. You accept and then… nothing happens. The game with the other party never starts. I have tried to logout and login again, but it never works.

2) When you are in the middle of a game and got disconnected from the FICS, you got a message warning of this. When you reconnect, it makes no attempt to restart the same game where you were. Only appears the Find a game screen, and either you lose for disconnection or it is Adjourned… In this case you have the problem mentioned in (1).

That’s it. Other than that, the software works great.

I have an iPhone 3G, OS version 3.1.3 (7E18).

Thanks!
JC

Paolo on We look for an Iphone Developer

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 03:02:37 -0700

Hello

we bought your Online Chess and we found that your approach could be very useful for an iphone application we plan to create.

We need an external developer. If you could be interested please let me know how to contact you

Best

iphonearguy on iPad version?

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:54:33 -0700

I agree, an iPad version would be great. Its tough to look at the current iPhone app on the iPad for too long; it hurts your eyes. I would definitely pay $5 for a real iPad version though. iPad seems like the perfect platform for touch based chess games....

Gary on Power Saving?

Wed, 14 Apr 2010 18:51:37 -0700

Can you disable power saving mode while playing this app? I was waiting for my opponent to play, and the phone went to grayed out power saving mode, and when I awoke it, the connection was lost, the game was ended...

mtj on iPad version?

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 11:53:38 -0700

Is there an iPad specific version in the works, or does the regular iPhone version look OK? I'm concerned that the graphics will not scale up well when moving from an iPhone to an iPad. Since I'm basically considering buying an iPad solely to play chess with , I'd really like to know before I buy.

BHAseagull on How Do I purchase Premium

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:51:33 -0700

I am in the UK, and yes I have a valid itunes account.

Magnus on How Do I purchase Premium

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 08:06:48 -0700

That sounds strange! Which country are you trying to buy from? What *should* happen is that once you press 'buy' you enter your iTunes account name and then get a confirmation (if the iTunes store allowed you to purchase it). Just to double check - you have a valid iTunes account, right?

I open my profile and it says I am logged on as a guest.When I press it, it asks "Unlock the full version" I press unlock. I am then taken to "Confirm Your In App Purchase. I press "Buy" It then says "You Cannot Purchase ?This You must purchse the app that this item is for before you can purchase the item.

What does all this mean.
