Some suggestions

ChessUp 2

Got the ChessUp2 board and it’s great so far!

Some suggestions:
-Save the Rated? on option, and be able to start without being asked each time
-Hide the player ratings (on the board, and app)
-Ability to set/switch profiles to be able to have different users in the same home playing (maybe autoswitching depending with whos phone’s app you connect?)
-Change the screen on board when you start a game through the app, to indicate you’re using the app and hiding the menu (avoid it being an eyesore)

Thanks for feedback - perfect use of the forum

It was never meant to be unchecked by default and that fix is pushing soon (today likely in 1.0.1)

This is a debate internally on bloat vs feature - and TBD. If enough people request it, then the bloat defenders have to back down.

This is known and on the way in like 1.2 or 1.3 (early 2025). We fully understand the need, but it is still some work to get done.

Just curious, why are you going through the app? (i.e. different time format? If so, we may rather fix the UI on the board)

Also - once you log in once, the app is not required at all. Just want to make sure you know that.

Regarding the hiding player rating feature, both chess.com and lichess have them, thus also the suggestion!

Why I used the app? It was a lichess game so had to go through the app.

Also regarding that lichess game, at some point the app didn’t register my opponent’s move, and their time went down on the app. I then opened lichess to analyze the game, but the game was still going on. I finished playing on the lichess site, the app didn’t register/update anything, until the game finished where the result screen appeared, and the board flashed.
