IOS app bugs 2/21/2016

Hi just played a game via the iPhone app after the new update. I could not tap the messages icon or bring up options like resign, abort, etc. Worse, when I moved a pawn to promotion rank nothing happened. Went back a move and it was like I hadn't touched the pawns. Please fix!
I also have these problems on iPad:

- action button (draw etc.) doesn't work
- chat button doesn't work
- weird mysterious icon with fade at startup which makes you think you have been hacked
- whole app sometimes freezes completely

The only change I was hoping for (getting read of the magnifying glass effect when moving pieces which violates the basic UI metaphor and gets me to make wrong moves every other game) was not made.

I'm sorry, but though I wouldn't use the word some other poster just used (I looked for another thread in order not to encourage them in the rudeness), this new version is in urgent need of a corrective update. I look forward to it, and I have no doubt that the new version also contains improvements. Thanks.
Hey LiChess, thanks for the app. Great job!

Hopefully it might help, there's some problems with the new update for the app.

The chat and (...) doesn't work. And the app freezes at times too. Im not too sure about the other problems.

Thanks again!

Just for clarification: not an icon actually, but a whole screen. Thanks!
I tested the app using an iphone 5 on ios 9.1 and I don't have any of these problems.

Could you all send your os version please?
iPad with iOS 9.2.1 (last version) here. Haven't tried it on my iPhone yet (it was already not so good before because I have a 4s and the app is made for the iPhone 5 screen size).

What's the deal with the initial screen and the fade? It's really weird. Thanks!
I have no idea. I don't have those issues in my iphone. Could you send a screenshot?
No buttons work. Only the new back/forth arrows on the board that loads during start. 👎 Since the update I can't see ongoing games, I can't go to the menu or anything. I'm on iPhone 6s latest version.
