The lichess app is all around better. Bullet is unplayable on chess.com's app.

Fun fact: the lichess app is built with Capacitor and is open source https://github.com/veloce/lichobile

Really? I play billet games on my phone almost daily.

Maybe try to reinstall your app if or crashes or won’t let you play because I’d definitely should.

It doesn't crash; it's sluggish. It's hard to quantify but it's like there is a quasi animation effect that you can't turn off. In something like 3|2 it's not terrible but in 1 minute games its a real issue.

I thought for a while that maybe I was just used to the lichess interface but I don't have the same sluggish feel when playing on my phone on the website vs the app.

There’s def a lag on chess.com ios app compared to that of lichess. It is super apparent in the endgames

Interesting. I've never seen that, perhaps I'm just lucky, or not as good as you that i notice the lag:)

Or you are good enough you don't have to try flagging every game for a chance to win!
