Lantern's chessboard is designed keeping accessibility in mind for the visually impaired through VoiceOver compatibility. Enabling VoiceOver in device settings allows users to tap on a square to hear its contents while double-tapping selects pieces. Moves are verbally announced as they occur. The app supports five languages including Spanish; VoiceOver adapts based on the device's language setting.

The integrated chess engine provides various game modes including chess960 at multiple levels and five engaging variants: Crazyhouse, Loser's Chess, Atomic Chess, Three Checks, and Giveaway/ Suicide Chess. Switching between chess variants or adjusting difficulty can be managed in the engine board's "Game" menu - new game section.

The Opening Explorer is fueled by high-rated FIDE games (both players rated over 2300) allowing users to annotate positions and color-code moves (green, yellow, red). These features are accessible through the control bar on the Openings Board.
