Lentemern,
Just one issue keeping it from being perfect.
Lichess is far and away the best chess site out there. Free computer analysis, puzzles, croud-sourced studies; it has it all, and all while being completely transparent and open source. I have no issues with Lichess itself. However, there is one annoying issue with the app. If I close the app without fully shutting it down, I will be unable to connect to Lichess when I return to it. The only way to fix it is to restart the app completely, which can be a pain. I did not experience this on my old iPhone 6. It only became an issue when I upgraded to the iPhone 12 mini that I use now.

TROLLING!!!
I love this app but I wish developers would make some kind of method where it would check to make sure the player is still engaged in the game. People will literally be losing and instead of them resigning like an decent chess player they would just let the clock time out to 0 in hopes that somewhere along that time their opponent would just quit because they become impatient in waiting for the player to make a move. My suggestion is to make a button that would send a prompt to the opponent asking them if they are still there and the opponent has a set amount of time to respond, for example 3 minutes. If they don’t respond then the game will automatically be forfeited. If they do respond then they have a set amount of time to make a move afterwards. It’s TROLLING when they have no intentions on making a move and they’re completely relying on their opponent to simply quit because they actually want to play and not willing to wait 15 minutes for the time to run out. Please make a change so the TROLLING comes to a STOP!!
JOhkonut,
Great App 👍 - A couple of requests
Edit: rating back to 5 stars. I think you guys fixed it!
Edit: Dropping my rating to 3 stars. The move skipping bug has not been fixed and the notification badge is inaccurate. I have to constantly check the app to know if it is my turn on correspondence games. Edit: Dropping my rating to 4 stars. I love Lichess but the move skipping bug is really bad and annoying. Please fix! Love the app. I have a couple of minor requests. When cycling through the moves of a game with the << and >> buttons, it often skips through 2 or 3 moves ahead even thought I only pressed the >> button once. Can you please fix? Another bug I have noticed is that I receive double notifications. And the badge number is way higher than it should be. My last request is to make the 3D piece sets available on mobile. Thanks!

Lag
I have been using this app for years, overall good application, lot of players from every corner of the planet, lot of tournaments for all strength levels, however the main shortfall of the application is timing.
Players over 2400 strength gain time after each move, it looks like the apps is programmed to favor these players. On the other hand In tournament levels weak players gain tremendous time during the game and you see players at 2200 or more strength loosing on time against a player at 1600 strength. This is so ridiculous when you a player at master level loose on time continuously against a weak player. When you play to a player more or less at your strength the time is about right. Developers need to fix this issue, on short games time is essential. I do have extremely high speed internet connection with no lag at all, so saying this has to do with internet connection has no ground to be based upon. Other than this playing long time games like 10 minutes or more you shouldn't have any issue.

Great as a chess app, but bad for lichess standards
I’ve played lichess on desktop for years and as far as other chess mobile apps go, this one is not bad. However for what lichess can offer, there are some issues with functionality, namely the puzzles.
I can’t get them to sync. If I play through 10 tactics on desktop, and try to play some on my phone the next day, the tactics are the same ones I’ve seen on desktop, and solving them has no effect on my rating. As someone who mainly plays on desktop, this basically means I can’t play tactics on mobile.
The other gripe I have is the notification icon doesn’t sync well either. If I get a notification and then use the app, the number stays there. For correspondence games I’ve played 6-7 moves and the notification number just keeps going up and up, even though I have no games that are pending my action.

Absolutely amazing! And it’s 100% free
I always loved Lichess. The stuff this platform has to offer is absolutely ridiculous and I love it for it. The clock they added is so convenient! The board and animation and flow of the app is just great! So much functionality and it’s all free.
One thing i think developers could improve on. you know how when you open the left side menu to click on something? Say you scroll down and click “board editor”. i feel like when the user goes back to open up that menu again, it should begin with where you left off (i.e scrolled down). not start up from the very beginning again. anyways, great app.
i’m studying CS in college and I wish I could intern (for free) at lichess!
One thing i think developers could improve on. you know how when you open the left side menu to click on something? Say you scroll down and click “board editor”. i feel like when the user goes back to open up that menu again, it should begin with where you left off (i.e scrolled down). not start up from the very beginning again. anyways, great app.

New update is a nightmare...
I love Lichess. I use Lichess every day, it’s a great application, and by far the most user friendly chess application I’ve ever used.
However, the newest update is riddled with problems that just can’t be overlooked.
For starters, the chat text box disappears when I try to type a message to my opponent. It’s a pain to not see what you’re typing, and to hope that everything looks alright before sending.
Secondly, opening the analysis board in correspondence games occasionally shows up “zoomed in,” where I can only see a portion of the board. This makes it impossible to properly analyze my next moves and renders the analysis board feature useless.
Finally, aesthetically I have a problem with the moves list being above the board within a game. I guess this is personal preference and will just take some getting used to, but certainly weird and it takes up about a third of the screen. Not a deal breaker though.
As for the other bugs, however, these are serious issues in my opinion and already I’ve felt a great deal of frustration using the new, updated Lichess, just in the last hour or so.
Hopefully these are temporary problems with easy fixes, as I understand with any new major app change, issues are bound to come up.

Great features, buggy interface and menus
Lichess is an amazing app with great, free features like unlimited analysis, opening explorers, puzzles, etc.
However, the app used to feel very crisp and responsive when making moves, switching between simultaneous games, and receiving / viewing notifications. Something must have changed - after an update sometime this year, the performance has notably gone downhill, with laggy interfaces, phantom notifications or lack of notifications, switching between simultaneous games being unresponsive / slow to update, etc.
The pros outweigh the cons - especially since the app is free - but the performance degradation has been a major drawback that my family and friends have noticed as well. This app would be unmatched if these issues are resolved.

Simply an amazing accomplishment. This app is great for most things, and there are more features available through the browser interface. Lichess is an incredible contribution to anyone who wants to learn and play chess at any level. Nothing compares and it’s completely free, no ads no up sell. Is there some room for improvement on the mobile app, sure and it’s happening all the time. There are constant releases and it just keeps getting better. A rare and awesome achievement, I can’t imagine how anyone could give it any less than all the stars. I’d give it the stars of the other chess apps too if I could.

Such An Amazing App!
I am thoroughly impressed with Lichess. There is so much capable within the app itself that easily trumps other software. The endless amount of tactical and positional puzzles as well as the unlimited analysis board. There are also other features such as the ability to watch top players’ games and learn from them, As well as the ability to import and analyze your own games with ease. I think it’s beautiful that the developers made it all non-profit, and instead for the beauty of Chess. There are no problems that I have perceived within the mobile app, as well as the website. I use the app daily, and enjoy it very much. Keep up the great work!
