The updated app has sacrificed crucial features for the sake of a sleek look. I can no longer see a user's total wins/loss ratio. I cannot open the user's page in a browser without sharing the profile and copying the link. It all seems to intentionally obfuscate the rampant alternate accounts problem that plagues lichess.

Lichess is one of the best chess apps I have ever used. It is completely free, has no annoying ads, and offers a great playing experience. The puzzles, analysis tools, tournaments, and online games are excellent. I especially love how clean and simple the interface is. Highly recommended for every chess player, from beginner to advanced. ♟️❤️
