Little Go

Nice app, the AI is decent to play against which is rare even for commercial apps. Other than that, everything runs perfectly. One improvement could be the ability to turn off auto scoring. Sometimes you just want to keep playing and conquer the whole board without the AI resigning. :D

OK, looks like the App Store deleted my last review so I’ll be short and say it again: I have spent a half hour trying to figure out how you “pass” to end the game. The instructions say that that’s how the game ends. I’ve been playing go for years, I know that that’s how you end the game. There is no pass button in this app, nowhere, I have looked for 30 minutes and there is nothing that lets you pass.All you can do is resign the game, and every time you start a new game it tells you there’s a game in progress, and i hate to complain about a free app but a go game without any way to pass and end the game is ridiculous and frustrating, and it gets old very, very, very quickly. Seriously, there is no excuse for it. This game has a million long screens of five point instructional text, and it talks about passing several times, and it never tells you how to actually do it in the program.There’s simply is no way that I can find to tell it that I want to pass. It’s incredibly annoying, and I absolutely, after just three or four games, can not use this app because of it.It’s just plain annoying that’s something so necessary is missing, Or, if it’s there somewhere, so well hidden that in 30 minutes of looking for it I was unable to find it. Also, it always plays the same game: if you have a particular opening move that you use, it will always respond the same exact way, there is no variation in its play at all.Playing the same game over and over again gets old very quickly. oh, also, the setting to undo 2 moves at once just plain doesn’t work, you have to always tap twice to get back and redo your last move, which is yet another really annoying little thing glitch. and that’s when hitting the button works, which it doesn’t always, sometimes it’s just plain doesn’t register because it’s so tiny, so you sit there stabbing at your phone with your index finger over and over and over again, hoping that you will get to where you want, when you really should’ve just had to click it once. again, hate to complain about a free app, but it’s just got too many seriously frustrating little quirks,The UX design is truly terrible.

I’m awful at Go. I just learned the basic rules a few minutes ago. Using advanced settings to tune down the bot, I’m stuck somewhere between getting demolished by a level 1 bot and having a bot that resigns within 3 moves. Nice app, would be good for playing with friends, just need a little more granularity on tuning bot strength.

Wasted my time. Does not even work.

Nice that it is free, but it’s just way too hard no matter what the setting.

Its perfect. And open source. The best to play with friends. No ads. And full featured.

Clunky UI and an AI that requires too much configuration

Placing stones is not immediately clear, it has a weird magnifying glass mechanic that doesn’t make much sense. It took me a while to figure out how to place a stone because there was no tutorial or anything. Also I’m playing on the absolute weakest computer and it has DESTROYED me over and over on the 9x9 board without mercy, I can’t imagine what the other bots are like.

I really like it. the rating should be above 4.5 at the least. If some sugar feature is added to be beginner-friendly, the scorce might climb up. Astonishingly, it's open source!

It’s nice.
