  • Excellent tutorials and lessons that are clear, comprehensive, and well-structured, making it a great app for beginners to learn Go.
  • Various learning methods including puzzles, tsumego, AI opponents of multiple difficulty levels, and online multiplayer with players worldwide.
  • Smooth gameplay and interface with features like game review, practice problems, and good matchmaking (though some improvements suggested).
  • Very limited free version with heavy paywalls; many important learning features, puzzle reviews, and extended play require an expensive subscription.
  • Some tutorials and puzzles lack detailed explanations, especially on why moves are right or wrong, causing confusion for beginners trying to learn strategy.
  • AI can behave poorly or unintuitively (e.g., not resigning, passing excessively), and time limits as well as ticket-based play restrictions frustrate many users.
  • monetization
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization in the game is mixed, with many users appreciating the absence or minimal presence of ads, which enhances gameplay, while others criticize aggressive microtransactions and expensive in-app purchases as cash grabs. Some suggest offering ad-based options to unlock content, but overall the free player experience is considered friendly despite occasional nagging purchase prompts.

    • “The monetization model is very friendly towards free players.”
    • “No ads, good gameplay walkthrough to learn the game.”
    • “Simple go game app with no advertising nuisances.”
    • “It is a pay to play cash grab.”
    • “If you want in lesson hints you have to make ridiculously expensive in app purchases even though you already purchased pro!”
    • “Monetized to death, horrible lifeless cartoons inserted all over, like yes I suppose there's go in it but everything else about the app is an eyesore and the monetization is the nail that broke the camel's neck.”
  • music
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as cheerful and catchy, contributing to a friendly and playful vibe. However, many users find it distracting, annoying, or not fitting the atmosphere, with several suggesting more relaxing or zen-like options and the ability to turn off the music. Overall, while some enjoy the music, there is a clear desire for more variety and customization.

    • “The music is cheerful to boot!”
    • “Excellent music.”
    • “The music is also very catchy.”
    • “The music is irritating and trivializes the dignity of this venerable game.”
    • “Especially that the background music doesn't even match the atmosphere that I wanted.”
    • “The music is a bit annoying.”
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for being smooth, intuitive, and instructional, offering good lessons and a clean user interface. However, some users criticize the lack of clarity on game objectives, limited gameplay variety, and the presence of paywalls, as well as automated chats and fake multiplayer mechanics that detract from the experience. Additional features like unranked matches, analysis modes, and improved communication options are suggested to enhance gameplay further.

    • “Superb and intuitive gameplay.”
    • “No ads, good gameplay walkthrough to learn the game.”
    • “Great intro into the mechanics of playing go!”
    • “It teaches you game mechanics, but it doesn't tell you the objective of the game, how points are calculated, or when the game is over.”
    • “I can't really learn anything when I don't even get more than the bare minimum gameplay every hour.”
    • “Could be a great game, everything works well but you implemented a fake multiplayer mechanic that ruins the game.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature a cute, comic-book style that some find charming and playful, though others consider them cheesy or less appealing for adults. While not the most sophisticated visually, the aesthetic supports an inviting and friendly atmosphere that complements the learning experience effectively.

    • “Besides that, everything is awesome: graphics, lessons, puzzles.”
    • “Visuals are good and the game is nice and fluid to play.”
    • “Very very good, not the best graphics but super way to learn go, highly recommend.”
    • “The 'cute' graphics in the style of a comic book for children may be attractive for Asians, but how about a few more elegant themes for adults?”
    • “Also, I'm not a big fan of some graphics.”
    • “Not a fan of the cute aesthetic.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The app suffers from significant stability issues, including freezing during Facebook login, black screens, and sound failures. Users also report frequent bugs and long loading times that hinder gameplay.

    • “When trying to log in using my Facebook account, the app freezes and I'm unable to proceed further.”
    • “Update: it still glitches, the board turns black and sound doesn't work.”
    • “It's buggy, constantly upsells you, takes forever to get into the game, and doesn't show you the answer to puzzles unless you pay.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It's freezing, no optimization here.”

    • “Especially disappointing is that the background music doesn't match the atmosphere I wanted.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely criticized as poorly executed and unfunny, with some users expressing strong negative reactions.
