iPad chessboard doesn’t use full screen

Sort:

The tiny corner display only occurs in live game mode. Resizes when display settings set back to standard instead of 'view more'. Now, is there anyone smart enough to find a setting or an automation that switches the screen to standard whenever chess.com app is open?

This has been around for years, whoever thought “more space” “larger text” “default” display zoom should mean there needs to be 3 separate sizes for the game screen needs to be sacked immediately. It should be full screen regardless of if you use for display zoom.

It does work properly for display zoom set to “larger text” but 90% + iPad people use default of ‘more space’ zoom. Meaning for 90% of people chess com app is unusable. Shame, literally begging you to try competitor platforms.

It’s especially funny that this company must not even be bothering to scan forums with a bot to check for easy issues to fix. In 2024 - the world of LLMs. Utter morons trying to run a chess app lol.

Staff are aware of the issue and have it on the roadmap to be fixed.

Look, I could obviously be wrong if there is some underlying nuance here, but this sounds like an overnight fix type of thing. It’s been months for me alone, others have had issues earlier (could be caused by a different bug though).

It only impacts specific device types and an interaction with an iOS setting on how it uses space. As far as I'm aware it's not a simple fix.

Version 4.5.1 should have a fix specifically for the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air (11 and 13 inches).

For More general size issues, not related to the above fix, the Display Zoom > More Space setting on the device should set to Default

Still having this scaling issue on the app, running an M1 iPad Pro 11", any chance us M1 users could get a fix too?

OK, now it works with the Display Zoom set to default, but that's kind of ridiculous still since the user shouldn't have to change standard settings to ensure the app works properly...

Are you on one of those specific devices?
