Reviews of lichess

  • Good but one serious flaw

    I love it and would give it 4 or 5 stars if they fixed one major problem. If you live in or use it in an area with a sketchy internet connection, it doesn’t really synchronize and let you know if you are disconnected. It will sit there with the time running out on the other player making you think you’ve won until it finally reconnects and says you lost because you timed out! That is infuriating. It should provide a warning and then maybe I could move to get a better signal. It’s fine at home, but when traveling it is untrustworthy. So aggravating. Please fix this.
  • Disappointing for bullet!

    That’s insane! After 2 years playing on chess com I decided to give another try for Lichess - and now I recall why I switched to chess com - because of hecking LAG on lichess!!! You never, Never! can be sure how much time left for you which is critical in bullet or blitz. And this is not because of your internet connection🤯, faced it multiple times playing in various conditions, high speed WiFi with superb ping, 5G network, lte, - result is the same- quite often game just freezes for a few seconds and bam! you have minus 5-8 sec, noticed it also sometimes happening to opponents too. Playing on 14 pro, so I don’t think it’s device problem…
  • App Crashes in board editor

    I love this app a lot. Never really had any major problems until now. This is the only reason I’m writing this review in the first place. When you create a position that is illegal in normal chess, it lets you use the position in analysis and offline and online games and it works fine, until you try to load the engine if you use analysis. Upon attempting to load Stockfish by clicking on the engine tab, it attempts to load the engine, but a second later, the app crashes, sending you back to the home screen of your iPhone or iPad device. An easy way to replicate the bug is: go to the board editor, load the standard chess starting position, place an extra piece anywhere, such as an extra pawn, go to analysis, see that analysis mode works fine without using the engine, try to go to the computer analysis tab, and watch as the app crashes.
