Good but questionable problem rankings

The app is good but it sometimes thinks easy problems are hard or hard problems are easy. Today for example the easy daily problems were harder than both medium and one of the hard ones.

Incorrect problems

I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but some of the problems that appear on the new problems page are incorrect. When I figure out the problem such that it says solved, I would continue with white and I don’t see a way for the problem to be solved for black. Not sure what that’s about, and pretty annoying

문제 퀄리티

모든 문제에 대해 많은 경우의 수들을 전부 준비할 순 없겠지만 이 앱에서 제시하는 문제들은 그리 많이 설명해주질 않습니다. 이게 왜 잘못된 수인지 그 다음 수나 설명 없이 오답이라고만 나오죠. 오히려 문제를 푸는 제가 왜 그런걸까 하고 직접 다음 수를 둬보고 있어야 합니다. 그리고 문제의 목적에 대해서도 제시를 안 해줍니다. 기본적으로는 패가 나는 수는 오답이지만 어떤 문제는 패를 만들어내는게 목표입니다. 이는 불친절하고 어떤 수가 왜 오답인지를 많이 설명해주지 않는다는 점과 합쳐져서, 온갖 수를 다 둬본 후에야 패를 내는게 답이었음을 알게될 때마다 허탈하게 만듭니다. 게다가 문제의 퀄리티가 총체적으로 난국인 때도 있습니다. 26년 6월 12일 오늘자 ‘오늘의 문제‘ 보통 난이도 첫번째 문제는 복수정답만 5가지가 넘는데 전부 다 도대체 이게 왜 답이란건지도 설명도 없고 납득도 안가는 잘못 만들어진 문제입니다. 앱이 참 미니멀리즘하니 단순해서 좋은면도 있습니다만은 개별 문제들에 대해서 경우의 수 보강좀 잘해줬으면 좋겠습니다. 맞춰도 왜 정답인질 모르고 틀려도 왜 오답인질 모르는 퍼즐을 푸는건 그리 유쾌하지 않습니다.

Not for beginners, not helpful at all

I don’t understand what I’m supposed to be learning from this. Basically it shows your position, and you guess, and either you guessed right, or you keep getting it wrong until you finally hit the enter button. And you repeat that until suddenly it says “solved“ without telling you what about what you’re seeing is solved.It sure doesn’t look solved to me. I don’t know what I’m supposed to be learning from this, but I’m not learning anything.

— ACY SG

★★★☆☆ United Kingdom · v3.07 · 13 Feb 2025

Decent - room for improvement

Interface works well, but some niggles. In progress mode, if you accidentally skip you can’t then go back. In progress mode even if you have multiple problem sets selected it will still loop over a very small subset indefinitely. Even with 1 set selected it won’t cover it all. Then with some of the problems there are alt solutions that aren’t recognised and no way or reporting. And one or two solutions that are wrong. With all that said, it’s still a decent buy IMO as not found better.

THE APP IS WRONG

Idiotic app says actual checkmate moves are "wrong". Never explains why. So stupid.

— Cvhz65

★★★★☆ United States · v3.06 · 29 Aug 2023

Good practice but why?

I very much agree with goodtutor’s review. I like the daily problems and the right or wrong feedback. The app is very clean and an appealing space to solve problems. However, it would be so very nice if there was some sort of feedback on why a problem reaches the “solved” state. I do think the app is useful “as is” to learn patterns in the game. It does enable the user to learn to recognize given patterns and associated responses. I also like that additional possible actions are considered. Each problem is designed to lead you down the best path, but you can take alternative actions that help the user understand possible outcomes.

★★★☆☆ United States · v3.06 · 26 Oct 2023

Solid

Nice enough interface, plenty of puzzles, barebones. Agree with other reviews that I could use a little more than a “correct” sometimes, e.g. when the answer is seki: I’m usually pretty sure it’s supposed to be seki, but it would be nice to get a confirmation. Or “your solution is seki, but it’s possible to live/kill.”

Very good go app. It would be able to quickly train your life and death skills. Other than that it trains your tsumego and tesuji skills.

★☆☆☆☆ United States · v3.05 · 12 Sept 2022

No explinations

No explanation on how to use the app, and what the info supplied means. Also no explanation on why a move was right or wrong. Not recommended for a beginner like me.

★★★★☆ United States · v3.05 · 24 May 2022

Looking for parity with android version

I love this app. But android users can turn on labels for board coordinates. This hinders analysis of the puzzles and discussions with other enthusiasts. The interface is otherwise great, and the puzzles at different levels are excellent and nicely sorted. Occasionally it isn’t clear why a solution is solved, especially when seki or draw is the goal. But otherwise the app is a delight!

Whatever move I make, it’s either wrong or there’s no response. I don’t know what I’m doing right or why what I’m doing is wrong. This is terrible for beginners.

— EmilyGoldsmith

★★★★☆ United States · v3.05 · 6 Jan 2022

Agree with all points in "goodtutor" review

And I will add that if the app explained WHY the move is right or wrong, it would be priceless. Go has not been easy for me to learn in spite of a decent proficiency at chess. Explanations would help me improve significantly.

— ehleesi

★★★☆☆ United States · v3.05 · 10 Mar 2022

Decent practice, far from great

For a free app that provides daily baduk (go) puzzles, this isn’t bad. But a few things. If you’re not already familiar with the rules of baduk, then this won’t be for you as there’s no explanations on how to solve the puzzles or why you’re wrong. Second, all too often I’m given a puzzle that has more than one solution, but the app will only consider one correct. Third, often times the “correct” solution requires the opponent to make specific moves that don’t make much sense. And forth, sometimes the solution the game says is correct is not a solution at all. My stones are still unsettled and can become dead depending on the next move your opponent makes. This, this app assumes you’ll be playing morons. But, not all the practices are bad, I’d say only 1 out of 5 actually has the above issues. And did I mention its free with no ads? So, 3 stars for me.

very solid!

great app with great problems and accurate solutions AND variations. my one issue is that the progress mode tends to pull from a surprisingly limited selection of problems in those available. i.e., if i select all the available problem sets for progress mode, i really only tend to see a subset of what i select. if that could be fixed, i would rerate to 5 stars

— ian drinkcoffee L.

★★☆☆☆ United States · v3.05 · 19 Aug 2021

Not sure what the point is

I dont understand how this app improves your go game. The puzzles are solved by trial and error and I rarely understand what the objective of any given puzzle is. Am I trying to capture a string? Prevent eye formation? Occasionally the "solution" to a puzzle doesnt appear to be advantageous at all.

❌wrong

That’s all It’ll tell you when you Make a wrong move and then if you make a correct move all it does is allow you to keep going. It doesn’t tell you what you did wrong, doesn’t tell you what the correct move was or why it was correct. You just literally have to keep guessing, makes no sense. I’m not able to learn anything! No explanation! No help! Oh don’t bother pressing the ? In the bottom right corner because it’s just there for show leads nowhere. waste. of. time.

Overall great app, especially once you know some basic strategy

Overall, this is a great app. I was recently introduced to Go, and this is a great way to practice. I appreciate the app includes multiple ways that a player can approach the problem. The app would get five stars, if it included a little information about the principles of Go and why one solution is correct and the other solutions are not. Now that I have done some more research into basic Go principles, I am able to get a lot more out of the practice problems. Overall, great app! Thank you!
