  • So so

    This is the best on the iPod but the AI was made improperly. The idea is to make it play like a person because an ai that does not will only make the best move possible, making it almost impossible to beat
  • Nice, but...

    I would like something to stop the clock and tell me 'game over' or something of the sort.

    It not necessary to the game play, but would be nice. Otherwise, the game plays really nicely.
  • Missing piece but not too bad

    Not a bad app for shogi but should include a warning for checkmate cuz i did not know i totally lost the game and it did not show me any valid moves for any of the pieces. Also on the side of the board facing you there is a piece missing on the 2nd rank. It is the bishop ("angle-mover" piece).
  • Best shogi app available!!!

    I was very thrilled to find such a great shogi app for the iPhone. Computer was a little tough at first, but I have learned from all the games. I have tried 2 other shogi apps (including morita) and this one is the best by far. If your a fan of chess give shogi a try, you won't be disappointed!
  • Try This

    If you have never heard of shogi and you like western chess you should give this a try. Shogi is extremely popular in Japan. It adds an extra level of complexity and fun by allowing you to use pieces that you capture. On your turn, instead of moving a piece you can place a captured opponents piece almost anywhere ( with some restrictions) on the board. If you think about this, it opens up a lot of strategic and tactical options. You wont be disappointed.

  • Resign

    The resign button needs a confirmation or should be in the pop-up menu to prevent accidental resignations. An alert for when you are "checkmated" would be helpfull for the people who get this app to learn the game. Overall, great app. 4 stars till the resign button is moved. ^^
  • Finally!

    I've been waiting for this for a while! It's really great; well done AI! One request would be to make the Japanese style pieces a bit easier to distinguish. Well done!
  • Levels

    Well polished game with good indicators of where you can move and has good tutorials. It seems though as if the computer levels are reversed as I can last much longer versus level 7 than against level 1. Might be a bug or something
  • Kakinoki shogi

    It's a great game and well done but I got this to learn shogi and the easiest level kills me very easily and it always uses the same set of moves and I don't know enough to counter it. That is very iritating. Please fix it and I'll give this game a proper rating.

    TOO F-ING HARD!!! I can barely last 3 moves on this game! Add easier levels!
