Amazing!
DoulosKyriou

This is a really neat program! I’ve been using it to help me learn how to score games, and I’ve also recorded my games with it, to create an sgf file for later review!


GREAT

This is awesome, and simplifies the scoring and recording of games.


Fantastic and should be adopted as the standard

Been using this app for many many years now and is absolutely fantastic! For anyone who is new to Go this app is invaluable as the scoring component is probably the hardest part for someone who didn’t grow up playing. I’ve also used the export SGF function to capture hundreds of go problems to import into other apps.


Top Notch

This app is excellent and fun to use! The software finds the edges of the board pretty well, but just in case that fails it allows you to calibrate the corners and get it accurate. Multiple scoring methods are included too. The live recording is nice too, and I can’t wait to try that feature with my club games. The game can be exported via e-mail to open in other apps such as PandaNet. Things to keep in mind: scoring is an extra $1 and live play recording an extra $5. $10 total was ok for me as it performs the tasks as advertised.


Essential companion to EasyGo

This app is like magic for anyone faced with capturing go problems as SGF files. A quick snapshot of a printed go problem is accurately interpreted, even in poor light, and can then be imported directly into EasyGo, where you simply enter the correct move(s) and make it part of your mobile go problem collection.


Wow!

Just what I was looking for. Works like a charm! Totally worth spending the money, including the $1 in app purchase for the scoring. IMHO the price should be included into the total rather than having it extra. I'm happy though!


This app is fantastic!
Marc Rebillet

Using this for the Go games I play against my friends, especially as a beginner, has been invaluable in determining who's ahead and how to properly score the game. Anyone who ever wants any clarification on their games needs this app - it's powerful, accurate, and works beautifully.


Works great!

It's intuitive, easy to use and accurate. I love being able to capture a game and import it directly into SmartGo Kifu.


great app!

Very easy to use and works great. Suggestions: 1. Make it recognize numbered stones. Convert diagram into sgf with the correct move order. (Useful for reading books without a go board). 2. When I take a photo and then accidentally hit ‘photo’ instead of ‘board', it deletes the photo and I have to retake it. This is slightly annoying.


Don't buy

I purchased the app to score a picture of a go board. However purchasing the app is not sufficient. Each time you want to score a picture it asks you to pay 99 cents. This is not described anywhere prior to purchase of the app.
