Drills broken on iOS?
Sort:
I’ve not been able to get Drills to work on iPhone or iPad for over 2 months. The computer just constantly thinks and never makes a move. Is this broken for anyone else?

Drills are working fine on my iPhone. Which Drill isn’t working for you? Maybe you should try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that fixes it.
On both iPad and iOS the engine is calculating the line, but no move is ever made:
I've uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache, even used some dev tools (I dabble in iOS dev from time to time). It's odd.

In your screenshot, it looks like the line is calculated correctly, but not being displayed. Try selecting the forward / back buttons.
Yep nothing happens. I'm not able to make another move - it's in the state where you would expect the computer to take an action, but it never moves a piece. The line will update from time to time, so I'm wondering if there's some bug in it never "finishing to calculate."

Very strange. The only thing I can offer is to uninstall the app > power your iPhone Off/On > and reinstall the app.
You will have to contact support to see what they say, but drills do work fine on my iPhone.
The only glitch I've ever seen on my iPhone is occasionally when I launch Game Review, the board is displayed with no pieces. If I select the move Forward/Back buttons, all the pieces suddenly appear on the board and everything works fine.
