Ratings and reviews

Please for the love of God, add the option to analyze imported games and get accuracy percentages and stuff like that...You can do the mentioned with games played on the platform, but there is no option to do so with imported ones. I waited for this update for so long, I really do not see why they do not add it, it is like they absolutely forgot about it...Please consider adding it in the future updates 🙏🙏, everything else is awesome!

on previous update of this app, it signed me out, and had trouble signing back so had to reset password. even then, the built-in-app browser didn't automatically synced & lead user back to the home app. don't erase user's data from prior version during updates. also, why to solve puzzles we had to assume the next move engine makes from mine would be a miss and not their best ones, the only sequence of moves to solve it implement irrational decision for user to consider. it's weird.

I keep getting repeated “Network problem” messages and timeouts only on the Lichess mobile app. This does not happen on any other app or when I play Lichess in a browser, so it seems to be an app/server issue, not my connection. Each timeout gets longer in duration, which makes it impossible to play fairly. I am also very worried that this might lead to my account being restricted or banned, even though it is not my fault.
