free (you can buy additional problems)
Not really for complete beginners as even the esiest problems can be a little too complex. Some slightly questionable problems but overall great. Six daily problems.
Not sure I would recommend to beginners. You will just get destroyed and there is almost no âeasierâ settings. Some might think it is a good way to learn, but unless you are like super devoted to being the best there ever was I think you will just get depressed soon
I use tsumego pro and find it very good. Even if you dont plan on spending the money on additional problems (they arent exactly cheap) it can still be usefull since the 6 daily problems also feature ones not bought by the user. Its neat as well, that the app knows some wrong variations (not all of them obv.).
I recommend trying it if you havent
This is useful. There are dozens of Go apps, but most of them are just useless or arenât well implemented. Including others:
ElyGo (Android - PAID)
= There is a free version (ElyGo Lite), but itâs extremely bad, including only 20 tsumego and 14 Honinbo Shusakuâs games you can review through the app, with other features lockedâŠ
Database of 20.000 pro games + allows you to import your own SGF files and game databases
To be honest I never understood why someone would be using iOS (especially after 2011). But now I get it. Its because of the [quote=âtrohde, post:3, topic:10114â]
Go Books (free)
[/quote]
isnât it?
When I read your comment I was like:
âwait, Go Books is free for Android too⊠I remember using it" searches Play Store everywhere
"Ohhhh, forget it, I downloaded it when I was using an iPhone a few months agoâ
That app is very good, but the books arenât free (despite cheap enough to be worth it!). I remember reading some free chapters, but if I wanted the rest I needed to buy.
Yes, but even the free previews of some books are big enough to keep one busy for quite a time
Also, the format is open, anybody can create a free book for the Go Books app (also available for OS X/macOS, BTW, and all purchases are instantly synchronized) ⊠IF they can, that is
HI,
In addition to already mentioned - Igowin Pro and Igowin tutor (iOS) (last is free).
There is extended version (PC/Mac) âThe many faces of Goâ - a lot of usefull stuff in one place. I like it
[quote]System requirements: IBM-PC or compatible, 32 bit or 64 bit Intel or AMD CPU, Windows NT, XP, 2000, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10. 32 or 64 bit Windows. 512 MB or more main memory.
For Android devices, I like GOdroid for playing against AI. It uses GNU Go, which means it plays at about 15k-8k depending on what skill level you choose.
The user interface is nice; it lets you select 9x9, 13x13, or 19x19 with a nice zoom feature (tap and hold to zoom in/out). It also lets you save SGF files, and has some other nice options. Swipe left and right at the top of the screen to undo/redo moves.
If you dont mind paid apps (and kinda pricey too), Crazy Stone Deep Learning is a really strong AI bot using neural network (5d I think), that allow a lot of features :
20 levels of play from 15k to 5d
There are 20 levels of play (15k-5d) for all the board sizes.
Crazy Stone has improved not only in strength, but also in his style of play
and the lower levels are perfect for average players.
Analysis Mode
You can analyze your current game and also game records saved in sgf files.
Use the analysis mode to review games and help improve your strength.
Move list, Histogram, Record analysis, Situation graph can be confirmed
with the analysis by Crazy Stone.
Rating Mode
We have provided a Rating Mode for 19x19 and 9x9 board sizes.
You can confirm the results of games played and the history of your rating.
Export and import sgf game files
You will be able to import and load game records in sgf format.
Please use Crazy Stone Deep Learning to review and analyze Go games.
If you save games in DL format, the results of the record analysis will also be saved in the file.
Other features

I remembered this old thread and thought it might be usefull to update and revise, given some new programs and usefull apps coming to my attention (now all in the first post)
If you do not think so just say nothing and we will let the thread die out forever
Unfortunatelly, right now that would only be possible by some fan made third party app. I know there is a quite functionalandroid app for OGS made by one of our players, but do not know anything about iOS.
As far as we are concerned (or more precisesly our devs - I just nod in agreement ) we are focused solely on improving the online browser experience at the moment.
The menu on the right, on the page for a single game, renders terribly on Chrome for iPad. I often pause the game by accident when trying to set conditional moves or use the score estimator.
(especially after 2011). But now I get it. Its because of the [quote=âtrohde, post:3, topic:10114â]
