### 5/5 — 将棋warsよりも

*2026-06-16, version 2.4.7*

将棋warsから流れて来ました
向こうは1日3局までなので
こちらは他者の対局を見たり
ﾁｬｯﾄが可能だったり
国際的だったりで
とても気に入りました
管理人さんがlog in手続きを1人でされてる様子で好感が持てました
将棋がもっと好きになりました

### 4/5 — サクサク動きます。

*2026-06-16, version 2.4.7*

pc版がメインなのですがアプリだといつでもどこでも対戦でき楽しめます。旅先などのお供にもってこいだと思います。おすすめいたします。

### 4/5 — まだ一局ですが好感触

*2026-05-23, version 2.4.7*

まだ一局ですがじっくりさせる場を探して登録しました。いい感じです。

### 2/5 — 使い勝手

*2026-05-14, version 2.4.5*

使い勝手悪い。移動したり目を離した隙に切断するとその度にインしないといけない。観戦を振り返り見れないのも残念。道場は良かった。

### 1/5 — 致命的

*2026-05-06, version 2.4.5*

駒音はかなり心地よいです。 ただ、操作性が他の将棋アプリと比べて極端に悪く、タップの反応性、正しく駒が移動しないとゲームとして致命的です。
また他将棋アプリと比べて過疎っておりマッチング相手がなかなか見つからない上、かなりの頻度で回線が落ちるためまともに使用できません。

### 5/5 — great app

*2026-04-26*

its just good, one of the only free apps that lets you play as much as you want, just make sure to put pieces to hidetchi international

### 5/5 — 操作感が良くなった

*2026-03-08, version 2.3.9*

以前は、パソコンでの対局は快適な一方でスマホで指すのはUIがイマイチでしたが、かなり触りやすくなりました
24が閉まってから人が移住してきたせいか、手合いはつきやすくなった反面、全体のレベルが上がって負けが混んでいます😆

### 5/5 — 期待値込みで

*2026-03-07, version 2.3.8*

正直、あまり使い勝手のいいアプリではないけれど（アイコンが分かりにくい、時々バグるなど）、81道場自体の居心地が良いので、アプリについては改善の期待を込めてこの評価で。

### 5/5 — 本当に完璧

*2026-02-26, version 2.3.8*

切れ負けじゃないので時間切れ狙いの将棋が無い。

### 1/5 — ソフトだらけ

*2026-02-20, version 2.3.8*

もうネット将棋で真剣勝負はできない時代
