problem attacking

please help! I'm sorry if this is very basic for most people here. I'm rubbish at attacking gyms, even with higher CP and type-matched attackers, and not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I'm having problems using the special move especially. When the special move is ready, I hold down until the back strips appear and keep holding until they vanish again. Is that right? I don't always see an animation and don't know if the special move worked or not.
Thanks guys- this site is awesome!

They work if the blue charge disappears, some are just weak and don't cause a noticeable amount of damage. The battles aren't the smoothest and do not show animations a lot of the time, especially when used in quick succession.

Yea, if you'll see a decrease in the thick blue bar under your pokemon's name then it worked.
You can release holding your finger on the screen as soon as the black bars appear.
Or to be precise you can release when the thin blue line runnin under the charge meter (appears when you long press on the screen) reaches full lenght.
