Oh well, my bad then.
Really weird for it not to have been fixed then, it looks like a major issue to me ?

I'm not sure puzzle ratings are taken that seriously here. I mean, I do as it's been the main way I've been learning about chess, but I guess you can always take the attitude "look we told you whether you got the puzzle right or wrong - who cares about the score?".
@Doofenshmirtz that's true, but the thing to take into consideration here is that the higher your rating, the more complex the puzzles you get.
How do you make progress if doing them on mobile makes you stay at the same level forever ?

@sobolanu "how on earth do you win only 7 points with 7 wins and 2 losses when you're only 1500 ?"
i.e. +4 +10 -12 +3 +4 +1 -3
Not all puzzles give or take away the same rating points. A hypothetical example: the same puzzle can give you 3 points if you hit it and take away 18 points if you fail, depending on your rating and the difficulty of the puzzle, or give you 20 if you hit it and take away 4 if you fail.

@supertorpe Okay I get your point, but for having done puzzles on desktop, such low gains never happened. Try it if you don't believe me, 7 wins and 2 losses at 1500 will never get you at +7 rating points.
But we're deviating from the subject here... Would like a reply from a mod/dev to know if a fix is planned.

@sobolanu I don't think there's any difference what rating you have. You get high and low rated puzzles at all ratings. Why don't you just look at your puzzle history - it'll tell you the answer.
On my last 7 puzzles - a bit of a let down from how well I was doing until then - I received:
+8 +8 +10 -7 -17 -4 -5 = -5. 3 wins and 4 losses was -5.
I'm not sure what you point actually is, or what you'd like mods/devs to explain/fix. Unless you got a puzzle right and lost points, or got one wrong and gained points (for that puzzle), there's nothing to see here. And you won't get points for getting a puzzle right that you've already got wrong, and you won't lose points for getting one wrong which you previously got right.

@sobolanu Yes, i'm talking about the red and green squares containing scores under the board when you do a puzzle - i can't see your values.
In theory you could do 10 puzzles and get +4 for most and -18 for the rest and end up massively down despite the good success/failure ratio.

I didn't think of screenshotting the values.
But is it not clear enough ? I went from 7 wins to 8 and I lost a point. What do you need the values for ?

@sobolanu I'm not seeing that in your screenshots. You have a mixture of successes and failures and your score always increases. All checks out. Where do you lose a point?
There are some factors to take into account. Mainly you're using the app which doesn't sync properly with the website. Plus the app lets you do 50 puzzles offline and uploads the score later. Maybe that provides another opportunity for the scores to get confused.
