Everything is wayyy too expensive
Sort:
I've had chess.com as an app on my android phone for going on 5 years now. It used to be a great resource that had free lessons, analysis engine, and unlimited puzzles. Now everything requires a subscription and I HATE this chess app. I no longer reccomend it to anyone because it is a big cheap moneygrab. The analysis engine sucks now, it doesn't give nearly as much info. The puzzles it only lets you do 5 a day. The lessons are locked behind a paywall now!
I hope the chess.com community shows some amount of pushback. this is disappointing to see my old favorite app become a cashgrab.

Tactics have always been limited on the apps, at least that has been true of Android.
The Lessons should move to a certain number per week; the site very recently changed to that and the apps should follow at some point.

Did something change recently? Are you talking Android or iOS?
The old lessons are coming back. Erik has said so and free members will be able to do their one a day.
The 5 puzzles per day hasn't changed.
Has the analysis quality changed?
