Lichess is hands down the best chess app available, and it’s completely free! The platform offers everything a chess player could need: high-quality AI analysis powered by Stockfish, unlimited puzzles, and a user-friendly interface. I especially love how simple and clean the design is—nothing gets in the way of the gameplay.

It's absolutely insane, how easily get I banned for several days, just because I need to answer a phone call (no time for resigning, just leaving the actual game). I've played like 10 games, and 9 of them was correct from me, but 1 game was enough to ban me. Furthermore, after the end of the penalty, it took me a while to start a game with an opponent (like 4-5 minutes waiting).

It's a decent app if you want to play the odd game. My biggest fault with it, and something they could easily fix, would be you often play with the same colour for many games in a row. For example I played three times as white, on the fourth and fifth games I aborted, as I would have liked to play black for a change. As a result they put me on a ten min time out. Following that I had one game as black and another three games as white, followed by two abandoned and a 20 time out. Please Fix This!
