SmartGo

It's impossible to learn anything. It's very aggressive and there are no easy settings for beginning players to get their bairing. Just pure annihilation.<br/><br/>If you are trying to learn go, I recommend Tsumigo Pro. Don't bother with this until you've mastered Go and are looking for a challenge.

I have wanted to learn this game for the longest time. This app has a smooth fluid interactive iBook-like tutorial and wonderful fair gameplay. My only issue is that the tutorial does not really explain how to win the game, but via the numerous in-game tools it is possible after a few gameplay experiments this is possible. Keep up the good work!

This app is crap for beginners. Turned me off of Go completely.

This app is not what it claims. There are no interactive tutorials. Just html pages to slog through.

The Go playing algorithm this app uses is deeply flawed. It performs very dumb moves, filling in its own territory because it does not have a good idea of when the game is over.<br/><br/>When the game is over, scoring is performed incorrectly such that pieces that are obvious to capture are not marked as such.

through extended research, beyond just the game, i have figured out for the most part how to score the matches. The issue arises in the game when certain points on the map are awarded to a player with no clear explanation as to why. Even according to the tutorials provided by the game itself the scoring is contradicting. Maybe its’s just my ignorance? i cant seem to find an answer

It’s crap.

Loving the App. I love how the CPU gets harder/easier based on your skill level.
