Defamers and Slanderers

I’ve never cheated at a game in my life. I’m only ranked around 1200 ffs. Yet these moderators accuse me of using outside help?? Idiots.

Analysis not working

Hope to change this when bug is fixed

The best online chess

It’s free, open source, has good matchmaking, no ads. Hands down the best chess client.

Please fix bug

Best chess app but now there’s a bug where the analysis and opening explorer won’t work

Cheating and bots

Used to be a good app, but moderators don’t take cheating seriously and ignore patterns of cheating

Pesimo

Deja mucho que desear esta aplicación ,lo único que sirve es el motor de ajedrez ,como plataforma no sirve ,aprendan de Chess.com por favor

What happened?

Buggy across the app and often get a ‘can’t connect to lichess’ error. Puzzle solutions still don’t reveal themselves after tapping ‘view solution’

Cheaters

Too many cheaters on the app.

Gg for gpeople

Just enjoy it

low quality

Lots of cheaters. Bad connection, poor puzzles, they also stole my rating. It’s better to pay fpr chess.com

Inferior to chess.com

Good luck finding a game. Matchmaking is horrible. No fun waiting 10 minutes and still can’t find a game

No fun lots of fun

So I at first thought that it was a terrible app, but now. I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS APP! GET NOW!

Lichess>Chess.com but…

Lichess is certainly better than Chess.com purely for their nice analysis feature and free puzzles. Chess.com is only good if you want a fancy platform and if you want their lessons.

However, this app is kinda rough. In particular, I want to be able to choose puzzle categories. In general, the puzzle experience should be better on the app.

Penalized and overpairing

Was paired with the same person 3x in a row, which happened twice with two people, in addition to being paired twice in a row with the same people. So I resigned one game early because i didn’t want to play, and was penalized and held back from playing. I guess they won’t be pairing with me again, but there are other 50,000 players what is the deal. I don’t want to play the same people over and over again

Buggy

Too many bugs to be useful

Analysis feature broken

Why is it no longer possible to go over game analysis within the mobile app?

Game analysis not working

Post game analysis and editable game board not working, pieces stuck in starting positions

Far superior to chess.com

BUT recently my ‘analysis’ isn’t working!!! Please help I’m on IOS anytime I click the microscope it no longer shows the eval and arrows. I never adjusted my settings so I’m unsure why this is happening

Still too buggy

Still too buggy especially in studies and analysis. Use the website, instead.
