Surround - Online Go client reviews
4.6 out of 5, based on 149 reviews.
What people like
- Clean interface without unnecessary clutter
- Developer responds quickly and fixes bugs
- Great for checking correspondence games
What they complain about
- Login window fails to connect properly
- App gets stuck loading or reconnecting
- Push notifications cost extra money
Great app they fixed the “Reconnecting” bug
This app is amazing! Great choices on what to include in the interface versus not. The conditional move functionality is outstanding. The “reconnecting” bug seems to be fixed as of August 2026. Hooray! Humble feature request: Setting to force Dark mode all the time
Login doesn’t work
Has an issue where, when logging in, the app opens a small web browser window. It then allows login to OGS in that small browser, but it wont load the login to the actual app.
Makes me log in every time I open the app
The app is best used for correspondence games. I like OGS! Note to dev: I deleted the app, and upon redownloading it and signing in I found that I was not able to access the same UI as before I deleted the app. It now is permanently on the “web version” of the app, and prompts me to log in every time I open the app.
Google sign in bug
Sign in with Google option pops up a small window where you can log in but the main window is still not logged in.
Great app, but broken
This app is fantastic. It’s what OGS has needed for a long time. Drawback is that push notifications cost extra (pretty much THE feature if you play correspondence). This is really a shortcoming of OGS though as they don’t actually offer a push service. This forces the Surround dev to poll the server and roll their own notification server so they have to offset their costs. The real problem is that the app doesn’t load properly. Every time I open the app it’s stuck in the “loading” state. You can bypass it with a full restart of the app, but it’s a pain and feels unfinished. I contacted the dev about it and basically got “yeah I know it does that but I’m not going to take the time to fix it.” Seems like kind of lazy support for an app that’s darn near perfect. I want to give this 5 stars, but not until I see a fix. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In any case, thanks for the good app!
Hidden gem of a Go (Igo, weiqi, baduk) app
I found this app completely by accident (never came up in search, which is the curse of all Go related things) and it has turned out to be all but perfect. If you play on OGS (or want to but you’re turned off by the interface) this is all you need. It’s an actual free fully featured OGS client, with the only upsell being a tiny subscription fee if you want push notifications for your games. There is currently a very small bug in the chat feature but after emailing the developer Khoa, they responded promptly to let me know it has been fixed in the next release and shared a TestFlight link to download the improved dev version. They are clearly in it for the love and not for the money, so if this review is corny, it’s only because I feel likes this kind of work deserves some love in return.
Can’t login
I try to login and it brings up a browser login screen where I do so, but then never comes back to the app. Once I click done, the app still asks for me to sign in
Excellent client for OGS
A wonderful app for Go, connects to OGS and has an v excellent UI. Main two complaints I have is primarily when you reopen it oftentimes says reconnecting until you shut down the app and launch it again. Secondly, to start a game with an AI you first have to add them as a friend, but I would have preferred to have a dedicated list with AI opponents from OGS.
Very nice Go app
I bought this to have notifications for my correspondence games, and it does that nicely. Feels like a native iOS app, not too many frills which is good. Easy to just get into a game using the OGS server.
Cái quái gì vậy?
Tôi quân đen và chiếm được nhiều đất hơn nhưng trắng lại thắng vì Server Decision
"Reconnecting..."
this bug is the only major issue, everything else works great.
Simple and efficient (no bullsh*t)
This app lets you play the games through OGS server in a simple and efficient way. I would give six stars if I could. Thank you for creating this app.
Custom matches not working
Cant submit a custom match at all. Used an ipad and iphone, both didn’t work
Needs repair
When I open public games tab on iPhone 11, app crushing
Fantastic OGS Client
My only minor complaint is that navigation within the app on the phone can feel a bit unintuitive at times. Besides that, I love it! The app has everything I’d want from a mobile OGS client as well as some extras. The widget is a very nice touch!
Great app
Really nice looking app, but IMO stones should be a little bit bigger - almost touching each other. That's the idea of the "dame" - breathing points for a stone or a group of stones.
Works great
Functional and attractive client for OGS. My only feature request: saving settings for custom games. Still love playing on this app!
Love the app but started crashing
App was great but now crashes every time I open it. Please assist
Beautiful!
Easiest the cleanest and most beautiful app for the Online Go Server (OGS). It’s very responsive, the chat and analysis board work great, and the option to open to the game in the browser is great! If I had two wishes it would be for a dark mode, and the ability to save the SGF from the app, to save on SmartGo One.
Does what’s needed
Gets the basics down. Main missing feature is push notifications.
Just what I wanted!
Great app, can’t believe I didn’t hear about it earlier.
