Entertaining for a beginner like me

Young Werther

I used this app (along with rules on a website) to learn Shogi. Even on level 1, I got crushed in my first game, but then I won the next couple - that level is set to make mistakes, which is what a beginner like me needs! I can't say anything about other levels yet. The pieces look well designed and sound effects make it seem realistic. You have to win "medals" (by beating the computer at various levels) to open up more than the initial 2 types of boards (one with English letters on each piece, the other with Japanese symbols). Some of the help screens are written in non-fluent English, but it's usually easy to figure out what they mean. Once you get the hang of it, Shogi is a fun game. Just watch out for your oppoonent dropping pieces into your position!

Out of all the shogi apps, this is by far the smoothest and sleekest. No complaints.


Not bad, multiplayer needs work

This is a great shogi app, definitely worth the cost. To the developers: I love that you can play using game center. However, in online multiplayer mode, the 30 second time limit is too short. I just want to play for fun against a friend. A pause, undo, and extend time option would be really really nice


Excellent

This is an impressive Shogi app, perfect for the beginner. Easy to jump right in. I suggest starting at level 1 and working your way up.


Shogi Lv.100 App Review

モリ・トラ

The Shogi game seems to be very good. Everything is in the description. The graphics are quite good and it is very fun to play the AI. Some suggestions: - Be able to reposition pieces after the game is over (or "Edit" Mode) - Maybe add some Game Center Achievements - Option to change the record notation to Japanese without needing to change the Device's Language - Add a "Pawn Toss" function for deciding who is black and who is white

This app is wonderful. There's different difficulty levels, and the easy difficulty is actually easy, unlike some chess apps where the computer trounces all over you if your a beginner. Different chess pieces are also nice. From the traditional style to the western style, they're a big help. My favorite is the simplified kanji with dots to show where they move. Overall this is a fun game that keeps me coming back for more. I highly recommend this app.
