The live video makes you wait until after the game has actually started before playing. This is unacceptable! The live video should start with the web page broadcast. No closing ceremony WTH?!?!?

Great app, cannot believe all the negative comments. I am using it on the 6P, maybe it does not work as well on older phones.

It's working at last... Just about. The coverage starts at least 15 minutes before the game but you can't get the feed on the app until just after the game starts, so you miss the start of every game. Game 7 and it's still not right! Game 8 and finally the video feed is available before the game starts... But as soon as the clock started it froze. Had to kill it and reopen. Missed the first minute of the game yet again. :-( Game 10 and it still doesn't work. There's now a screen with Round 1 to 20 shown and all the rounds are enabled except round 10! It's not going to enable until after the game starts. Two games left to fix it...

Not really happy with app. Ms Polgar will be giving comments, then app just quits, while following board. Also when on first cam, see board, but doesn't keep up with moves. Frustrating. Cameras are in wrong place. Hard to look at board from sides. Should be from almost eye position of either players. However I like app. Better than no app.
