EasyGo is a multi-function go software designed to help you improve your go skills and enjoy the go game:
1. Extensive problems bundled EasyGo has total 2400 problems bundled ranging from basics, life and death, tesuji and endgame. And the 893 problems on life and death have extensive variations built in to respond to all of your possible moves. 2. A lot of ways to study problems
• Problem Practice - Sort problems by total tried times, wrong times, and win rate or shuffle problems. Random swap color and rotate board. If the opponent have multiple variations, you can tap the alternate move mark to switch to that variation.
• Problem Test - Take standard test(20 problems in 10 minutes) or custom test, in which you can customize the total problem number, test time. During problem test, the restart, try, show solution button are disabled. The standard tests for the bundled problems are integrated with game center leaderboard. Test history is saved automatically. And you can review all the problems answered incorrectly later.
• Spaced Repetition System - EasyGo includes a spaced repetition system (SRS) to help you study go problems more effectively. Basically, it works like this: you are shown a problem and you choose “Fail”, “Hard”, or “Easy” according to how well you know it. The system will automatically present the problem again for review in the future. That is, EasyGo works like a flashcard application.
3. Game records browse/edit/replay EasyGo is also a SGF editor, supporting most of commonly used SGF FF4 properties, and features a node tree view, a variation table. You can use EasyGo to record your own games, create your own problems, and switch to problem mode to test at anytime.

8 of 15In my opinion, this program beats Smartgo Kifu for best SGF editing capabilities. I love how this app can allow you to resize the goban (board) easily so you can see more to your liking in both portrait and landscape mode. The ability to create your own life and death problems is terrific. I also appreciate the ability to use the whole screen to view game thumbnail previews to scroll through - a great feature especially if you have large databases to choose games for further study. Just wanted to point out EasyGo has the ability to try out solutions for problems before selecting your official answer to the problems. So if you get the answer wrong, you can go back to test more ideas before trying again. I think this is a great feature and really let's you think through problems interactively. EasyGo has a terrific variation tree mode which lets you try out different lines when you're studying a game or planning your next move in a correspondence match via email. You can easily see the branch created and can select the line you want to study in more detail. I love this ability. Now I can easily study lines and it really helps me visualize where I might be going wrong. The new feature to flip the board is a life saver because now I can see the flow of the game from my opponent's point of view. Best thing about that flip the board feature is if you select the option to send the game via email...EasyGo remembers the board point of view when sending the game. So when you open the game using another SGF editor...you'll be looking at the game with the point of view you want it to be in. Most SGF editors only allow you to see the games from Black's point of view. So this is great new feature.
Easily the best go kifu and problem program on the iPad. I have Kogo joskei dictionary, as well as my library of go problems on EasyGo. I have been teaching my children how to play with the basic problems. Keep up the good work!
This is the best Go study app on the market, hands down. The space-repetition study feature alone is worth every penny. Great support too. (Are there any more problem sets coming?)
The is a great editor and game player. I have Smartgo kifi but Easygo have several different features i like, however the graphic could use a big boost. I get a little disappointed when I open this app due to the cloudy graphic. Give that a overhaul and this app will be able to really compete against Smartgo. Can we get that in the next update? It will get 5 star when better graphic is delivered.
I really like the problems and the SRS study system. The developer is also very responsive to questions and requests.
Update makes an already great app even better. Wifi transfer and enhanced tagging make it really easy to create and collect problems on your computer, organize them with tags, then directly load them onto your phone or iPad.
Hello, I feel like this is bar none the best Go tutor app on the market.. I have probably spent close to a hundred dollars on go apps through my Go progression (lame.. I know.) and none come close. When I purchased this app, I was stuck at 12k (igs), after a month of playing through the basic tutorials, and revisiting them. I hit 9k. It has been a year and a half since then, and I still use this program on a somewhat regular (and still am far from mastering everything here). The best thing about this program, is that it ups the difficulty of the problems, as you progress. (you learn the basics of all that it offers - you will be somewhere around 9k., you start to master the life and death / tesuji, you will be some where around 6k.. and so forth) .. Most go programs that I have played with, feel VERY unlike actual game play, not so with this game.
This is a great app - lots of ways to practice and study Go, good updates, and a responsive developer. The "spaced repetition study" (SRS) mode is excellent and is now the standard way I study. Highly recommended.
