Set my puzzles to rated
I use lichess everyday. Am a patron. Had the old app. And mostly used mobile browser. Yet when I tried out the new app it didn't even show the puzzles were rated, unlike online where there's a clear "rated" toggle. You have to go into cogwheel to deselect. So I randomly made a move in the daily puzzle as I was just trying out features (and why on earth would it be rated when all my settings were set to unrated) and lost tons of rating. I'll get it back, but seriously wtf???

Encyclopedic example of excellence
If you start your adventure with chess here every other chess app will be mediocre experience. Great design, flawless and elegant. Lots of useful materials to learn and explore. Thank you so much!!!

Best app on my phone
Not only is lichess the best chess app this is the slickest and coolest app on my phone. Apple UI developers should study Thibault’s work.

Better than anticipated
I’ve been waiting for the new app to come to iOS for a while now, and I can safely say that it has surpassed my expectations and even the aesthetics of chess.com. By the way, thanks for adding the ability to draw arrows on mobile :)

This app is great!
I have been trying this app for some time now and I have to say it is great just if the dev could maybe implement a features that you can switch up in settings were instead of having like to click somewhere on the board and hold to draw maybe like an icon down there like out of the board that when you click change color to green and it let you draw and when you are finished and wanna play a move you can click that back and it will let you move as I understand that unintentional movement can be bad sometimes
