Ratings and reviews

1000x better than the other popular lichess interface. Better look. More access to desktop features like puzzle themes. Would get 5 but analysis board isn't as good. I don't think you can change the filter settings on the analysis board, not between masters and lichess database, not by player, elo, time format, etc. Also, doesn't import cloud data where you can get like depth 65 insights! Just runs stockfish 16 locally. Which is sufficient for most probably.

Much more comfortable and pleasing than the non-beta app for me, I love it. One thing I kindly request is if we could get a button to toggle on/off the arrows, in games especially. It's impossible to drag with two fingers without mistakes. Generally I hold one finger on a faraway square and draw arrows with another finger, but I can't count how many times I made the moves mistakenly because it didn't register first finger. Much love 🌸

Love it. Like the new layout, the pieces and also the overall feel of the app. I also like the part where I can choose the difficulty of the puzzles. I liked the part where I can see what's in the home screen and design it as per my taste. However I am not sure how to add somethings (I want to add the puzzle section in my home screen). I do miss looking at my game history where it showed the name of the opening I used. Please add that one too. That was one big strength of the old app.
