## Shogi Live Reviews in United States

### ***** "Definitely worth the money"
It’s the only easily accessible way I know of to watch Shogi games. Unfortunately, I can’t read Japanese so I’m not able to understand the comments for the moves which is a bummer but it’s still nice to watch how the professionals play!
-- Lil' Ol' Tree Trunks, 2020-04-10

### ***** "Just Needs One More Thing"
Great App. If you could provide Game Commentary in English, I would GLADLY pay A LOT more money for the monthly subscription. AND, you would precipitate an avalanche of Shogi interest in the West. Guaranteed!
-- acunuttall, 2018-12-31

### ***** "Useful, but needs Google translate!"
This app is really cool, and worth the $5/month subscription to stay up to date with all the shogi professional games. 

But one thing that is missing is a Google translate option to automatically translate the commentary to English or other languages, like on the Japanese Shogi Association website. 

The biggest thing missing as an American who's into shogi isn't how to navigate the app, it's that most information is presented in Japanese well beyond my ability.
-- thekiyote, 2018-02-18

### ***-- "Pretty good, but could use some improvements"
This is a decent app.  It says free, but in order to make use of its main feature, you must pay a subscription which is very reasonable, only about a dollar a month.  It is easy to go through games, but I would suggest that there be a way to move pieces freely in order to follow the analysis and variations more easily.  It would also be good to be able to export the game score and notes so that you can also use it on a program like BCM Shogi so that you can add your own notes to it later on.

### ***** "Awesome!"
Even if you can't read Japanese (I can't), this app is a great buy for the archived kifus and the daily tsume problems, available on the go. The fact that you can watch games in real time is a nice extra, but I imagine most games start and finish while I'm asleep. Thank you to the JSA for putting this app on the English app store!
