User Reviews

Summary: Reviews praise Lichess iOS for its customization, privacy, and feature parity with the desktop version, and note improved performance. However, they repeatedly flag cheating and weak moderation, ongoing connectivity problems, and frustration with the new app versus the old one (including buggy moves and reporting/login obstacles). Accessibility concerns and other UI issues also surface. Overall sentiment is mixed but leans positive on capabilities, with reliability and moderation as common pain points.

Pros

Extremely customizable and feature-rich on mobile (time controls and board options).
Free with a broad feature set and a privacy focus (minimal data collection).
Mobile version now matches desktop/web in features and analysis, with parity to the desktop experience.
Improved performance and responsiveness (less lag) across network conditions.

Cons

Cheaters and bot accounts in games with weak moderation.
Persistent connectivity/server issues, especially impacting fast-paced games like blitz/bullet.
The new app can be buggy or less reliable than the old version (moves not registering, choppy gameplay).
Sign-in/reporting friction and accessibility/UI issues (login hurdles, screen reader/keyboard problems).
