Been using for years
Such a well written app. Big fan of all of Anders' go projects. Easily the best option for offline play & study on IOS.
on est supposé jouer où
application inutile et aussi compliquée inutilemebt que le jeu de go, normalement la première chose que tu vpos ds une app pr jouer c un bouton jouer mais là y‘a rien à part des livres, des partied, un truc pr analyser les parties et des puzzles ??? on joue ou ptn
Très bon
Beaucoup d’exercices. Manque juste des explications quand on se trompe
Ui ist grottig
Die Ui ist aus der hölle, unübersichtlich, ka was man tun kann und wo man etwas tut. Wo startet man ein einfaches spiel. Gefühlt bin ich in einem Verwaltungsprogramm aus den 90ern. Das geht sowas von besser.
Why game mode?
Kind of bizarre to run this app in game mode and make the top of the application just blank white instead of showing my status bar. It’s Go… not Honkai Impact. Maybe it’s because I’m on iOS 18. 26 isn’t even out yet. Not everyone will upgrade right away.
Great software for studying Go.
A nice integration of programs into one swissa knife of Go study programs. Author continues to improve game. Has great communication and is open to suggestions. Good software, good customer service = win win for Go players.
Somehow unable to play a game
I bought the SmartGo Kifu a while back and that works like a charm. This newer version I don’t seem to be able to start a game. All it does it trying to sell me the Pro Upgrade. I don’t find the button to start a new game…. Also I am disappointed that that the original buyers don’t seem to be rewarded in any way
Dommage
Aucune info sur le fonctionnement de l’application !
Zum lernen völlig ungeeignet
Die Züge werden nicht erklärt und falsche Züge nicht korrigiert. Rätselraten warum ein Zug falsch sein soll und kein Hinweis darauf, was und wie gelöst werden soll.
Sehr Viele mobile Daten
Haben es eine halbe Stunde genutzt und die App hat 500mb gezogen. Sonst die Go Puzzle gut
Great way to learn GO
This app is packed with a-lot of information and learning aids that help beginners like myself out. Recommended for anyone looking for a straight up GO experience
起動しない
アップデートされてから起動しなくなった
Le jeu plante
Le jeu plante en permanence sans aucune raison. Il semble aussi à l’abandon Update : Le jeu semble planté sur mon téléphone car jugé « trop vieux » ( 11 Pro Max ) Je rehausse cependant la note car quand jouable, il est bien meilleur que ces confères
印刷ができない
僕はipadしか持っていないのですが、棋譜並べをする時、僕は碁盤に並べた方が頭に入るので棋譜をpdfにしてくれる機能が欲しいです(コウ、取り返しにも対応)
機能劣化
smartgo kifuでは出来ていたUGFフォーマットの読み取りが出来なくなっています。棋院エディタのUGFをsmartgo kifuで読み取り、コピーして囲碁の師匠にペーストする運用が出来なくなってしまいました。
A great program that has only improved
SmartGo continues to add new features as technology improves. SGF is the industry standard file format, and KataGo is a great addition for review. Elegant in presentation and handy to have your go books library at hand. Well done.
Unstable- crashes after 1 move
Unusable and locks down 19x19 unless you pay
Ok
Would like to have a less pricey option only for learning with ki
Ganz nett gemacht…
…aber viel zu unübersichtlich und schwer! Es ist schon schwierig Tutorials irgendwo unter „Probleme“ zu finden. Und jemand, der die Tutorials nutzen möchte um das Spiel zu lernen hat nichts davon, wenn falsche Züge einfach nur ein rotes Kreuz auf dem Spielfeld bekommen und fertig. Von einem Tutorial erwarte ich dann auch eine kurze Info, warum ein Zug falsch war!
ナンバリングについて
SmartGo Kifuでは出来ていた「すべての手に番号を付ける」の機能が無くなっています。 この機能が絶対に必要なので、どうにか復活して頂けないでしょうか？
simply the best go app

強い、とんでもなく強い、
コロコロと負ける。幕下が横綱と相撲とっているみたいだ。勉強になります。
god... When did it change to subscription?

Near perfect!!!
I've been using Smart Go every day for years now. You get all the pro games as well as KataGo reviews. The UI is slick. As of August 31 2024, and given that this app is quite expensive, a few improvements would be appreciated : 1. Win rates displayed on the board for each recommended move. 2. A tools pane that is always available (without having to clic on the three dots). Right now it's annoying to have to open the tools menu to switch between playing and markup. 3. A feed for daily go news, publications, links to match reviews on YouTube or Baduk TV, etc. 4. More randomness in Katago's moves to simulate playing against weaker players and practicing more diverse openings. 5. A real full screen mode, where you see only the board on a nice background (customizable and animated that would be nice!!) 6. The ability to hide the move track and the comments sections.
フリーズ(凍結)します
プロ棋譜は順調だがマイファイルはよくフリーズ(凍結)します。スマートキフでは起きなかったのに何故でしょう？
Ordinateur trop fort
Je ne suis pas un pro ! Et comme la plupart des joueurs que je rencontre sur le net, j’évolue contre des joueurs de mon niveau Je ne trouve aucun plaisir à jouer contre un ordinateur à 7 pierre de handicap et me faire écraser Ce n’est pas des partis pédagogiques Brefs plutôt desçu de ce résultat !
Great for books
Great for books. The interactive diagrams are really the killer feature. Without the interactive diagrams, if it's a diagram with more than 10 moves, you kind of need to use a board. Sometimes it is better to use a board rather than clicking through an interactive diagram because it forces you to think about the moves so even when I reading books on SmartGo, I sometimes use a real board anyway. But it's really cool to have those diagrams. For problems too, sometimes with the interactive diagrams, I fall into the pattern of clicking everywhere until I get it but I try not to. It's not the diagram's fault, it's my fault. I also use it to record my games during tournaments. It has a really cool feature where you can move a stone long after it's been played. Noticing at move 100 that move 50 was misplaced used to be a hugh problem that could only be solved by going back to move 50, changing it, then replaying all the moves that came after. With this, you can be playing your game, notice a stone on the board that is not at the right place in the record and correct it during the game.
A few suggestions
Great app. Definitely the best go app out there. That being said, here are a few suggestions: - The slider to move quickly in the game tree used to be way better in smartgo kifu. Not sure what happened, but it’s not smooth anymore. It’s often unresponsive. Even worse, when on move 0 of a game, trying to slide further in the game will switch pages 😅 This is really the main irritant for everyone I know who uses the app. -AI analysis is mostly great, but having to activate it again every time the position changes is quite annoying. There should be a way to leave it running. Even better, there should be a way to auto-analyse a game and highlight the major mistakes. - The integration with smartgo books is truly amazing, especially with more recent ones. When the author presents a pro game that’s already in the database, it’s magical to be able to explore what happened before and after effortlessly. Even better, asking katago what it thinks on the spot is often very enlightening. Adding local AI analysis for any whole board position from a book would be great. Thanks for the great app 🙏
Very impressed
I am brand new to Go and this apps free features are unmatched by other apps I have tried. When the other features become more important I will definitely upgrade to the paid version. The problems feature and AI games on this app allow you to move forward and backwards through your moves which is invaluable for real-time understanding of why a move is good or bad. This really feels like a go app designed to give a great go experience as opposed to selling an app. Highly recommend!
Complicated but good
It is kind of hard but it is good for your brain
Useful go app
Very handy to have built-in katago for post-game review (or for AI suggestions in the pro game collection section). Can easily send sgfs to email, too. The programmer even kindly included a tournament kifu mode that removes the AI button :)
A nice upgrade, but could make better use of AI
Overall an excellent tool, reasonably priced for the Pro subscription. It’s great to see some integration with a modern Go engine, but I was disappointed it can only be used to play against. It would be a killer feature to have it available when reviewing games or reading books - hopefully this is a future upgrade. Also keeping the old (and very unreliable) method for estimating game scores seems strange when KataGo is available. There are still a few rough edges and dubious design choices (anyone else surprised by a two finger swipe changing to dark mode?) but this is still an essential app for Go enthusiasts.
Excellent way of reading go books
Interactive diagrams in go books is such a killer feature
