Pros and cons of Tsumego Pro (Go problems) app for iPhone and iPad
Tsumego Pro (Go problems) app good for
I am totally new to Go and this app is a perfect way to get a feel for at least one aspect of the game. I particularly like how you can replay each problem with different moves to get a sense of why the "correct" move is, in fact, the best move. And it lets you play on after the "problem solved" notice comes up so that you can see for yourself that the problem really is solved. Sometime I will do this with an actual board and stones but it is nice to be able to do it even when I dont have access to these. And finally it provides a lot of fun without having to make a big time commitment. Very well done!
I learned quite a bit using this app. It is not time consuming and you can go at your pace.
This is an excellent tsumego trainer. You get six problems for free every day; two of each category: easy, medium, and hard. Theres a handful of add-on packs which are also priced very nicely. Its also bug free and better looking than most Go apps I can find.
Its a great app for anyone looking to improve there "Go" game. Just what the doctor ordered.
This app is great for life and death study, and as a really, REALLY low Kyu this app has helped me get better gradually
I love the daily challenges! Just wish the old ones would stay for a few days to go over.. But thank you for the great app!! I enjoy playing it daily!!
Some bad moments
My operating system language is German. The app doesnt seem to have German, so it defaults to Japanese/Korean (Im not sure which one). That makes it impossible for me to use this app.
Everything works very well and the interface is very intuitive. A great feature is the progress tracking. It seems inconsequential but it inspires self-competition and a strong will to get better. I love it.
Interface looks great, & problem sets are inexpensive. Looking forward to the ability to add my own problem sets.
Amazing for the long commute to work.... All problems seemed to work well.
This would be a good app for beginners or people familiar with go. There are optional hint markers in case you get stuck
Great interface for go problems, my only issue is that the 10k-ish problems oscillate between tricky situations that smartgo would rate 4k or harder and obvious wraparound squeeze ladders that require no reading. Are they just rated based on number of moves?
