Lichess: 5 BILLION games and counting! Our public game database just crossed 5 billion standard rated games! Did you know you can download every rated game played...
The new app is in development and I believe there's some alpha testing (can sign up via lichess discord). https://github.com/lichess-org/mobile

Niemann vs Carlsen - Case dismissed
They did hire a full time mobile engineer, but I'm not sure how much he's been working on the current app. I believe most of his time is spent on a project to rewrite the mobile app. It's not released on any app stores yet. I'm actually slightly worried about this, since as a software engineer I know that rewrites tend to create as many problems as they solve... but they did mention the existing app will remain available but won't receive updates.

For the love of God, ignore your Rating
They will. Can't find the blog entry where they first announced it (might have to search on your own). The current app was developed by volunteers. For the new app they employed a full time developer (https://lichess.org/blog/Y2Z47hEAAGUB7i7A/lichess-recruits-full-time-mobile-developer) who has a reputation to be a beast coding wise. The development for the new app happens here: https://github.com/lichess-org/mobile . In the meantime even NoJoke recommends using the mobile web page.

News on the new mobile app?
Apparently It was much easier to just search it up than writing a whole reddit post here. They made a repo on github and they're working on it based on contribution. There are already some snapshots and it looks pretty good.

Do you know if there's any intention of improving the Android app?
Yep the successor is already well in the works: https://github.com/lichess-org/mobile

Why would anyone play on Chess.com? It's an ad-ridden, cluster#$%& of an eyesore to look at, especially compared to the clean look of Lichess. I just don't get it.
We have https://prettierlichess.github.io/ though, and both vanilla Lichess and chess.com look horrible compared to it.

The difference between lichess and chess.com
I also do not consider the Lichess UI to be a perfect example of good design, but I do slightly prefer it - to me chesscom interface seems to have been built for kids. I do consider them both far from beig good though, and I do use the prettier lichess extension that is truly a marvel of good design: modern, beautiful, and professional.

Rare "bipartisan" win: Lichess tweets about a Chess.com stream and Chess.com acknowledges
The best design I got is actually by using the Prettier Lichess extension. It's modern, clean, professional, beautiful, to a point it baffles me that this isn't the default on Lichess.
- Do you think Chess.com and Lichess board designs are good or bad?

Beautiful lichess layout | Thank you Prettier Lichess!
For anyone else wondering, it looks like it's this browser addon: https://prettierlichess.github.io/

This guy when i asked for a takeback after a mouseslip
I disagree. The app is far besser, but the website is trash imo. Everything just icons, you can't remember where what is, the UI on the sidebar and not the top. And it's generally very unorganized. Plus: you can install a browser extensions for Lichess that makes it look more modern. Using this engine you can also customize pretty much every color of the UI. There is a large library of already available themes too.

Lichess should modernize their UI!
I just found out about this addon for the browser: https://prettierlichess.github.io/. It essentially completely revampts the Lichess UI while keeping 100% of the functionality. It also lets you configure all colors of basically every UI element. You can do crazy theming like this.
- I’m pretty new to chess so this might be a super stupid question, but how was this win given to white? I lost 40 points cause of it
