There's a new feature in the Android and iPhone apps that makes playing turn-based nearly live. The nearly part depends on your opponent.
I added an optional lock to the board so that the screen doesn't pop back to the dashboard after submitting a move. This causes the board to update after each move that's played using Apple's and Google's notifications, as if you were sitting in front of a live board. That is if your opponent sticks with the game as well.
