Great start folks, just hope there is

...more to come!! Thanks for keeping the app free. To get to the settings youvhave the press the round "i" button. The only adjustable settings right now are sound and atari alert. Would it be possible in future releases to choose 1) board size 2) Komi number? That would be great. Also some hints or suggestions for a move? Thanks for the app!

Computer ai is not bad. but it's the only free GO ai available from the AppStore that I know of. this tutr forces you to start with 3 stones on a 9x9 so if you know what you are doing you will always win.

I started playing Go three days ago, and thanks to this tutor and an excellent book, Beginning Go by Shortwell and Long, I can now win consistently on 25 kyu, the hardest level here offered. (Perhaps this is not so much skill as bloodymindedness though. I have played 400 some games in the last three days.) Try this app and buy the next one!

Not strong, irritating

The biggest problem with this app is the annoying sound affect when a piece is in atari. I know when a unit will be captured.

This program is great

This program is great if you're just learning how to play go. Obviously it is not meant for experienced players who should buy the full version. But it's a good start for beginners.

Go!

Nice to play with, but. If you make a mistake ( lets say want to tap in a place but the stone ended in another - a miss-tap ), the PASS and the UNDO are next to each other. So if you press PASS instead of UNDO, you cannot correct ( only will UNDO the PASS ). I know is 2 mistakes in a row, but love to play very fast and this just annoys me. I may buy the full version, but only if this cannot happen ( e.g. more levels of UNDOs )

informative for beginners

I just now started to start learning the game of go, and spent today looking for a app that would be good for a beginner like me. Whom pretty knew nothing how the game is played. All to the exception of knowing its a territorial game, and somewhat like chess/checkers. This app showed me the basics of the game and my first start of understanding of the game. Although I have ways to go to understand it, least I have now built a stepping stone towards more challenges ahead.
