  1. Totally agree about problems with the colors causing dizziness. Thought it was just me!
  2. Day 2: my thumb, which suffered repetitive strain injury from a trackball years ago, now hurts from attempting to hold my tablet. The thing I hate most about the revised software, after the absence of landscape mode, is the enormous box covering more than a quarter of the table, upper right quadrant, which at least in the ACBL robot tourneys, purports to tell you what each bid means. It distracts from the cards. I am unable to concentrate. I want it to go away. Please give me an option to make it disappear. More than that, is the ACBL ok with this telling me what my bot partner’s bid means, and telling me what he understands my bid to mean? It feels like cheating. Perhaps it is a level playing field with other players in the ACBL robot tournaments, but it seems unfair to players also vying for ACBL points but in all-human tournaments. And is there really no way to call the director in an ACBL tournament?
  3. I play on an iPad Pro. Since the very first iPad, I have happily played in landscape mode to get a larger view. Now for some reason you have made landscape mode totally unusable -- the larger view (and it is hardly large enough) is in portrait mode. Landscape mode results in a tiny playing area. A big loss.
  4. I'm looking for an online 2/1 partner. I'm in NY, and used to play at Honors. Let's try playing online and see how it goes?
  5. No, I am positive it was not the results screen that caused the problem. That feature was in previous versions, I really liked it and had no trouble finding the back button. I think maybe the "clutter" I am objecting to is the chat box on the right of the screen in landscape mode. It takes away from the playing area, and I would like the option to be rid of it. As I said before, when my in-process tournament disappeared, I was given the option to join a new tournament, and it appeared that I was allowed to do so. Then I started getting messages that BBO thought I was "away," the in-process tournament ended without my completing the last board, *and* the new tournament I thought I had enrolled in did not include me either. Don't misunderstand me, I think the app is totally fabulous, it's just that I was enjoying it with fewer features. Please consider adding the ability to turn off some features that some might consider extraneous. (For example, the chat screen serves no purpose in a robot tournament).
  6. I have been hugely enjoying the ipad app, up until the latest version. I considered the previous version to be just about perfect. All of a sudden, now, my ipad screen is too cluttered, and I see no way to get rid of the items I have no interest in. I *was* using my ipad to play ACBL robot tournaments. Today, on the last board with a decent score, the playing screen disappeared. I had no idea what had happened. Apparently, the playing screen became covered with another screen, and I saw no way to get it back. The app let me sign up (or so it appeared to me) for another ACBL robot tourney. Then, I started getting messages that the app thought I was away. I wasn’t, and I saw no way to get back to my tournament. So the app disconnected me, and I received no score for my until-then good place in the tournament. This is very frustrating. You need to find a way to let me *choose* if I want to see message screens, or mail screens. I find these to be not only extraneous, but also a huge interference with my enjoyment of playing on my ipad. In fact, sadly, I don’t think I am willing to risk playing in another tournament on my ipad, because the frustration level in not being able to find my way back to the tournament because of irrelevant-to-me screens and windows, is not something I’m willing to risk again. Please find a way to allow me to get rid of the clutter! -
