Lichess is great, but I think the mobile version of the website is friendlier than the app. I was just playing a bullet game (1+0) when the app suddenly threw me back to the home menu. It took me 30 seconds to get back in the game, after which I didn't stand a chance anymore. Never had such problems on the website

Hi, Licence Team! I’ve noticed that some players stall when they're losing, and it's really frustrating. It would be great if there was a notification or, even better, a sound alert when the opponent finally makes a move. That way, we don't have to constantly stare at the screen and strain our eyes. Sometimes I leave because I think they won’t move, and then I lose when they do. I’ve lost many games because of this. Please consider adding this feature to improve the experience. Thanks!

Hello! I love this app; it’s fantastic. I have a suggestion for the developers: it would be amazing if we could see our friends’ games while sending them a challenge. Often, when I send a challenge, my friends are already in a game, and I end up waiting for them to accept. Being able to view their current game and send a request simultaneously would be awesome!
