## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No English option

*2020-12-06*

AppStore shows it has an English option but the settings in the app do not support the language.

### 1/5 — Still no English

*2019-06-10*

App store says English version, not true

### 1/5 — English Please

*2018-04-06*

なぜ英語が利用できないのですか？説明は英語です。ゲームは英語のオプションがありません。だから私はそれを理解できません。ゲームの別れが大好きです。ありがとうございました。

### 1/5 — English available?

*2018-02-22*

The description for the app says it is in Japanese and English, but I cannot find any way to change the language to English. It might be there but since I do not know how to read kanji I can’t see how to change it if there is a way. If it is able to show English instructions please make the option accessible in a way English speakers can change it, or else remove English from the language description so as to avoid this confusion.

### 1/5 — Not in English

*2018-01-19, version 2.4*

Logging on to the apps all my settings are English great recognition work Apple. 🤯

### 1/5 — Hmmm

*2017-07-25*

So no English version

### 1/5 — No English

*2016-09-08*

I downloaded this off of the U.S. AppStore. The description indicates it supports both English and Japanese, but this is not true.

### 2/5 — Looks like a good app

*2017-08-23, version 2.3*

No English? I would have though that English would be an optional language

### 2/5 — No English?

*2015-07-07, version 1.3*

I was interested in learning the game and thought that as it stated English as one of the languages, that I would be able to change the language in app.  There does not seem to be the ability to do that, so I am disappointed.

### 4/5 — Looks good

*2018-02-19*

Please add option to change the language. More interesting than Chess.

### 5/5 — So good

*2023-01-14*

It is the easy way to play EasyShogi in seconds.

### 5/5 — for what it is, it's great!

*2016-06-21*

For me, plenty strong. Well designed interface. No  complaints.  On top of it, free.

### 5/5 — The pictures

*2015-12-05*

I cannot read Japanese at all, but the pictures really helped me in the end.
