Reviews

Security risk

Play is fun. The app copies from your clipboard for no apparent reason, which seems pretty sketchy

Not beginner friendly
charles marx

The rules section has no information for beginner players. It’s obvious that English is a second language so it may be as simple as them having someone modify those pages but it’s also clear that whoever wrote them is making the assumption that you already know how to play

Convenient phone apps

I have been using this app for 4 years, enjoyed

Great app

Clean interface, fast games, lot of fun

Low quality with forced video ads
XFDing

Full of bugs. Forced to view full screen video ads. Cannot play 19x19 until reach 1250 in 13x13 or 9x9, while this is almost impossible, because most players are 2kyu~1D. Ruined fun of go. Better try other app or website.

New to the game

Funny...I read some reviews and I wonder if they’re playing the same app. I’m a beginner and I’ve played maybe 60? games on this program AND unlike many of the other sites mentioned this app is so EASY and fun to use. I’m at 12Kyu and I’ve had my head handed to me by much better players (that’s how you learn) and I appreciate the dumb bots...a little positive reinforcement isn’t that bad...that’s what GoQuest has that the others don’t. I have em all and as a beginner I keep coming back to GoQuest because it’s so easy to use and I get plenty of games. Addicted to the quick 13X13 games!

Bad scoring and no time controls
Platimor

I don’t believe the scoring at the end is always correct, which is frustrating. I believe there should be a transparent explanation of the score after a game, and an option to select dead stones with your opponent once both players pass: features that currently don’t exist. I wish there were also options to change the time controls and Komi instead of having only 1 preset option per board size. I enjoy the snappy sound effects of the stones when they are placed, and the app is simple to use (although made for an older iOS). There are a few styles of stones/boards to choose from which is nice.
