Ratings and reviews

Decent platform and lots of online matches available. Not sure how they determine the match side though. Too often I'm playing as black 3,4,5 times in a row. Playing bullet matches have become increasingly frustrating. When it's end game and you're playing with only a few seconds it's not fair that your moves are not registered and the clock just runs out. Even pre moves won't register and you'll find the game has ended with you staring at the board wondering what happened.

I like this app. I've probably invested too much time with it, tbh, but there are a few things that have been bugging me, as in the analysis saying something went wrong and it is not analyzing my games. That, and I've had connectivity, disconnects on my cell phone, which is weird, but this is usually when I'm using the wifi. Other than those two things, it's a solid app, and it usually works fine.

Great app, love lichess, but lots of small issues that accumulate. 1. If I open the app through a notification (opponent has moved in correspondence game), it will "fail" to commit my move in that game, getting locked in a screen saying it is sending the move but never appearing to send. Yet a reload shows it DID commit to server immediately, actually. 2. Premoves. In a correspondence game, They used to work. But now they aren't even appearing to register? And they aren't being executed either.
