Play Computer with Instant Evaluations and Takebacks?

I’m fairly new to online chess, and I’m enjoying the option after a game on Lichess to “learn from my mistakes.” What would be helpful to me is if there were an option to play against the computer with the same instruction but during the game itself. For example, if I play a blunder, mistake or inaccuracy, I would be notified immediately how bad the move was, and I would have unlimited takebacks until I find the best move, or a move I’m satisfied with, and the game continues from there. Is this possible yet on Lichess? If not, is it possible on another app or website?
Also, can you play games with an evaluation bar active?
Thank you!

Playing with the eval bar will get you banned.

Play against the computer and you get to see the eval bar and if you need help you get hints.

You can get most of this via "Practice with the computer" on the analysis board.

Thank you for the replies. To clarify, I only intended on using the evaluation bar when playing against the computer. I’ll try Chesskid. Thanks!
And I’m having trouble finding “practice with the computer” on lichess or lichess app.

On the website, it's the icon that looks like a bullseye.

I’m sorry. I just don’t see icons that look like a bullseye except for puzzles with an arrow through the bullseye.

Once in the game scroll down till you see a blue button that says "request computer analysis". To the right of that button it says "Recommended puzzle training Ruy Lopez: Morphy Defense" in blue text. Above that blue text is a few buttons, one of them says "Practise with computer". Press that button and voila.

It's the one inside the analysis board, not the website home page.

From the home page, go to the "Tools" tab -> Analysis Board. After the analysis board opens, the right side pane where the moves of the game get recorded, if you look near its bottom, you'll see two icons, one is a book icon (opening explorer) and another is an archery target board-like icon (this is the Practice with the Computer option you're looking for).

Usually, you can hover your mouse cursor over the icons and a text box should appear over it telling you what the icon is supposed to be for.

Oh wow. That’s great! Thank you all!
