User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆ Chat
Chat has a bug now. Constantly minimizing after each letter
★★★☆☆ Broken chat
Nice free app, but the chat function is basically broken. The chat dismisses after every character. Please either disable this feature or commit to making it work. I assume a react native bug.
★★☆☆☆ Terrible
As much as I want to support lichess it’s crazy how my opponent has no time literally zero on the clock but is still able to move. Terrible matchmaking and terrible servers
★★★★★ Beautiful
Nicely done version of lichess for iphone. Very grateful to the developers.
That said, Puzzle Streak could use a toggle to not automatically advance to the next puzzle (as in the web interface).
★★★★★ Better than DuoLingo + chess.con combined!
