Surround - Online Go client

I found this app completely by accident (never came up in search, which is the curse of all Go related things) and it has turned out to be all but perfect. If you play on OGS (or want to but you’re turned off by the interface) this is all you need. It’s an actual free fully featured OGS client, with the only upsell being a tiny subscription fee if you want push notifications for your games. There is currently a very small bug in the chat feature but after emailing the developer Khoa, they responded promptly to let me know it has been fixed in the next release and shared a TestFlight link to download the improved dev version. They are clearly in it for the love and not for the money, so if this review is corny, it’s only because I feel likes this kind of work deserves some love in return.

I bought this to have notifications for my correspondence games, and it does that nicely. Feels like a native iOS app, not too many frills which is good. Easy to just get into a game using the OGS server.

This app lets you play the games through OGS server in a simple and efficient way. I would give six stars if I could. Thank you for creating this app.

My only minor complaint is that navigation within the app on the phone can feel a bit unintuitive at times. Besides that, I love it! The app has everything I’d want from a mobile OGS client as well as some extras. The widget is a very nice touch!

Functional and attractive client for OGS. My only feature request: saving settings for custom games. Still love playing on this app!

Cant submit a custom match at all. Used an ipad and iphone, both didn’t work

App was great but now crashes every time I open it. Please assist

Easiest the cleanest and most beautiful app for the Online Go Server (OGS). It’s very responsive, the chat and analysis board work great, and the option to open to the game in the browser is great! If I had two wishes it would be for a dark mode, and the ability to save the SGF from the app, to save on SmartGo One.

Gets the basics down. Main missing feature is push notifications.

Great app, can’t believe I didn’t hear about it earlier.
