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.

this app is way better than the app before. it's ui is very very good but although i REALLY REALLY wanted the feature to be able to draw arrows I think you could do one better by just adding a button to be able to draw arrows just please add this feature. it is in beta and I am hoping you will release the ability to play in tournaments. overall, really like where this is going šŸ”„
