Question

I would like to purchase XGoo but my old IPad has the 12.5.7 operating system. Will this run on my IPad?

Outdated joseki

Does not include modern joseki taught to us by AI. For example, it describes the 3-3 invasion as “too early” and “not joseki”. In reality, this invasion is one of the most commonly played professional responses to 4-4.

Fantastic

Well worth the $5 to practice joseki and have explanations for the moves. Personally, I have a hard time just studying joseki, I usually look up a joseki after messing it up in a real game. This app is perfect for that. The “research” mode is also really helpful because it lets me play out some “what-if” scenarios without having to use a real board or external SGF editor.

Nice reference for Kyu levelplayers

This app now has a much broader set of joseki and enough commentary in English to help a mid level player advance.

Great App!

Very descriptive explanation of the variation of Joseki used in the standard games

hi

excellent source, keep going

Okay man

Being pretty aggressively "motivated" to leave a review, hence the three stars. Otherwise it seems like what I hoped for. I'm a 5-6kyu taking lessons, and I was told to study about 40 common joseki for now. This app seems good for that.

Joseki

Leaves you completely satisfied with each move explained it m great detail.

Great Joseki flash cards that bug for ratings incessantly

This app is a great source of explanation on various Joseki sequences. Options and their drawbacks are presented in a reasonably clear way, although (on a 6s+ size screen), the formatting is a little goofy, where the move buttons cover up the text in the text window sometimes.

-1 star because the app seems to ask for ratings every time you open it, even if you tell it no. Normally, that's a deal breaker, but I'm interested in a Joseki app that provides explanations, so I'll deal for now. If it keeps bugging me, I'll be 1 starring this app because that is unacceptable.

Crashes in Tenuki Variations

Decent coverage. Crashes when exploring a variation that involves tenuki.
