Subjetively, it makes a HUGE difference whether I play a "normal" game against the computer and select stockfish lvl 1 (yes, I'm a very bad newbie), compared to when I select "offline game" and also select stockfish lvl 1. The latter is far more difficult and hardly makes any mistakes (as far as I can tell anyways). I can never beat the offline bot, and almost always beat the online bot. Is this a known quirk of the app?

Yeah there's definitely a difference. I'd say level 1 offline is between 3 and 4 online. I'm around 1100 and practice with those settings. I play offline quite often since I have shitty service in the building I work in.
