This is way better than the newly introduced other version of Lichens. But recently there is a bug which prevents visualization of moves of the solution of puzzles. Please do something for this bug, I want to use the Legacy version only

Zero Cost, Zero Ads: Every feature on Lichens—including the top-tier Stock fish 17.1 engine analysis, unlimited puzzles, and "Studies"—is completely free. There are no "Gold" or "Platinum" tiers; everyone gets the same elite tools.

Better than the new app at the moment. Never had any issues with it.

Puzzle analysis stopped working. Tapping the microscope at the bottom used to enable analysis of the current puzzle. This feature stopped working a few days ago.

Fantastic! Wide variety of settings and learning skills. And, no intrusive ads! Thank you. UPDATE! Something happened to this app. I loved its Puzzles feature, but recently many puzzles don't make sense at all!!! No solution can be found and when clicked on the "View the solution" then it shows super-inconsistent moves, for example taking back last move... As a solution? What happened? Harnessing AI? Just guessing, but Puzzles became unusable, sorry to say.

Full of bugs you cannot analyze your games anymore, puzzles don't show the solution
