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.

Hey lichess, an old user here. The issue of "blunder and go afk" is just wasting my time. In classical format, when my opponents blunder, they don't even ask for a takeback they just go offline. I suggest you to add some sort of a button and when one of the two players press that button, the other has to respond within a minute or something like that(or else the other player wins). This is just an idea. Thank you.

Cons: Seems as if you cannot scroll down the screen while on Android. As in looking at analysis of games, the majority of the game analysis cannot be viewed through not being able to scroll down. Friends list is buggy, when selecting "challenge a friend" why do I have to send a url link to them instead of being able to chose someone off my friends list. Pros: Chess puzzles are great and quite addicting. No ads on the app is a big deal.
