When do ‘ChessUp App’ settings work on the ‘ChessUp Board’?

Not sure where to put this but have a couple of questions about the board that I’m trying to figure out and maybe someone here has the answers

  1. When do ‘ChessUp App’ setting work on the ‘ChessUp Board’? For example I want to turn off the lights as a guide for where my pieces can move when I touch a piece and replace it with the after move hint of if it was a good move or bad move. Ive selected these settings in the ‘ChessUp App’ but it seems to sometimes work on the board and sometimes not. Do you need to have the hoard connected to the app before each game for this to function or should the board always remember these new settings without a phone? Or is it connected somehow to games on Chess.com which determines if it works or not? I can’t seem to figure it out

  2. I have the option to hide ratings on chess.com selected and working in chess.com - is this option not available yet on the ChessUp board or is there some way for me to apply the setting?

  3. For the ‘Post Move Hints’ is it just green or blue depending on a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ move? I made some blunders as a test and they were blue - so blunders are never flagged as red afterwards?

Apologies for all the questions, I love the board and appreciate all the great work the devs are doing to fix the issues, but I’m finding I need to do a lot of trial and error to learn these things and maybe someone here already knows the answers

Most of those are not implemented.

ChessUp 1’s User Interface is the app - so you get all these options presented that are applicable to ChessUp 1.

ChessUp 2 is intended to have the same settings on device. So we still have to add those specific settings you mentioned. They are coming.

The hide rating option we will need to ask Chess.com to add to the API we get - so we can be aware when that is turned on. That will be further out - but noted, thanks.

Ok great - thanks for letting me know

So the post move hint isn’t currently available?

Correct - not yet. Coming with release 5.0.0
