No longer playchess for iOS ?

Post by Lion »

Hi all
After upgrading my iPad2 to iOS 5.1 I had to remove the playchess app since it was no longer working.
I wanted to download it again, but don't find it anymore....
Does any of you have faced the same problem ?

I still have the app on my iphone 4s and have updated to iOS 5.1.But after launching app and logging on it just force closes when selecting either Play/Kibbitz/Settings.Also the app is not available in iTunes at the moment.I guess ChessBase are aware and perhaps trying to create a fix for this before they create too much hassles for people downloading and getting angry.The CB main new site still has the app in add window.

I just tested the app that is on iPod Touch that is still running iOS 5.0.1 and don't have any problems.So would think it is iOS 5.1 problem.

Maybe it has been made invisible for 5.1-users, so that they do not install/buy an app, that don't work on their system?

Any 4.x users here? :wink:
