I’m just starting to pick up go. I’ve never played and don’t know anyone who does so this is a decent learning device. I was stuck on a four handicap for a while but then I got the go books app. Buy “the way of the moving horse”. I’ve read a few chapters and very quickly made it to level seven (3 handicap). Not as good as having a person to teach you and tell you their thought processes for winning but if you think about it you can figure it out.

The tutorial is good and the app functions well, but the AI is too difficult to play against when you are just getting started learning. It’s aggressive and doesn’t seem to make mistakes. I don’t expect to win every game when learning but if I don’t win in the first 10 moves where it early resigns, I won’t win. If it had a configurable difficultly I think this would be a great app. The score calculation seems broken too. If you have it calculate twice in a row it will give you different scores.

A decent app to learn the basics. Straightforward and has leveling AI.

Paid for the app so not thrilled at the issues. When the move count gets too high, the iPad app responds more slowly and crashes. I play the big board, American rules, at fastest play settings. The game uses pass way too often. It seems that passshouodnt happen so many times in a row. Then, if I decide to pass first and I'm losing at the time, the game takes a second pass to acquire the win - instead of just playing the game. Why? I just started learning and playing last night (24 hrs ago) and although I haven't won, I feel great about losing at +6 1/2 points! This is because the tutorial is amazing! I do wish the (total current) score stayed visibleat the top of the screen instead of having to request it. I also wish I could play as black, it's easier to see all of the black stones on the ipad.
