### 1/5 — is it too much to ask

*2026-04-22*

I tried signing up a thousand times, then I reset my password obviously didn’t work, I even change my WiFi to my hotspot still didn’t work. Please fix this issue.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback. It is a pity that something does not work for you, unlike other people. The app has a lot of other cool features and it's completely free.

### 2/5 — Glad this isn’t the official app

*2026-03-29*

I know this isn’t the official app and, I’m grateful. I miss being able to choose the types of tactical puzzles I want to train up my weaknesses and, enjoyed the graph telling me my weaknesses along with the computer analysis of my games. 
Please integrate these features. 
I know it’ll take time to do so and, I’m willing to help keep this chess project going anyway I possibly can.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback. It is a pity that something does not work for you, unlike other people. The app has a lot of other cool features and it's completely free.

### 2/5 — Programming issues

*2025-09-26*

Always enjoyed lichess. But results are not accurate today. Programming is off.

**Developer response:** The developers of the lichess server broke the server responses; we're waiting for them to fix it.

UPDATE: Fixed.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2025-04-22*

**Developer response:** Спасибо!

### 4/5 — Сбой в игре

*2025-03-30*

Можно ли узнать почему когда ферзь объявляющая шах королю и стоявшая  вплотную к нему без прикрытия невозможно убить  королем а вместо этого  сразу же объявляется победа партии ферзи. Это сбой или что?

**Developer response:** Вышлите, пожалуйста, мне позицию, если есть возможность. Моя почта oleg.v.soloviev@gmail.com

### 5/5 — cool

### 5/5 — Курто

*2025-01-12*

Немного сложно, и непонятно для новичков. Но приложение достойное. Не нашёл возможности изменять цвет в меню.

**Developer response:** Спасибо) Цвет стандартный для шахмат, возможно в будущем добавлю такую настройку.

### 5/5 — Пожелание

*2025-01-02*

Приложение очень хорошее, но решите, пожалуйста проблему со входом на старых телефонах. Кнопка авторизации неактивна :( возможно, выход найдётся?

**Developer response:** Проблема на сайте lichess устранена, теперь всё должно работать как раньше.
