Why does chess.com mobile app have such a terrible analysis feature?
Sort:
Since the app costs money, shouldn't it do more than, let's say Lichess? So why is it actually worse?
- You can't hide engine suggested moves
- You can't copy pgn anymore
- Engine automatically rates moves in self-analysis, defeating the purpose of self analysis
- On top of that, any move you make says it's "best" even if it's a blunder
- You can't show/hide eval bar, again defeating the purpose of self-analysis
Why do I continue to use this app over Lichess? It just doesn't make any sense.

Hmm. I just want to point out that there are two different apps. I use the Android one.
Which one are you talking about?
I use the Android one and analysis choices are limited compared to the website. I guess I expect that an app will have more limited features.
I use the website for more choices on analysis. Most of the time I use a browser app on my phone.
You can choose the depth, highlight move qualities by color, download or copy the pgn. Review the opening against a database. Turn analysis lines on or off.
