Love it. Like the new layout, the pieces and also the overall feel of the app. I also like the part where I can choose the difficulty of the puzzles. I liked the part where I can see what's in the home screen and design it as per my taste. However I am not sure how to add somethings (I want to add the puzzle section in my home screen). I do miss looking at my game history where it showed the name of the opening I used. Please add that one too. That was one big strength of the old app.

I like the fact that they changed the interface and it looks better now. Also they added puzzle storm and puzzle rush. However the major issue with the app is the moment when you are running out of time and you need to play fast because there is a bug that don't let you play as fast as the other lichess app. This bug makes playing blitz and bullet really hard.

The new app is much nicer. It feels more intuitive and smooth. It's also more aesthetically pleasing. I read in the December changelog that interactive studies were added, but I still can't find them. I use my own studies quite a lot and look forward to a full support of the interactive studies on the new app. The way the app is developing, studies will be much better than on the old app and mobile website.
