## What is BearTsumego?

Bear Tsumego is a tsumego app that focuses "Little and often fills the purse".
Let's collect stickers by solving tsumego everyday!

I hope you will  enjoy and solve tsumego little by little everyday and become better when you realized it.


*Please note that "Bear Tsumego" app is for users that know go rules and stones' life & death.


●○ Polite Response ●○
Have you ever not understand why your move is wrong when you solve tsumego?

"In a book, I can't understand because there are only a few answers."
"In an app, I can't understand because white doesn't respond to my move."

In BearTsumego, I elaborate exercises so that white responds to possible moves.

Also, because you can put stones as you like after ○× show on a screen, you can confirm the answer until satisfied.


●○ Main features ●○
- Free 120 tsumego exercises!
- 3 difficulties: Beginner(from entry to 11k), Intermediate(from 10k to 1k), Advanced(from 1d to high grade)
- Moreover there are 3 levels in every difficulty.
- Stickers appear on a calendar when you solve tsumego! They motivate you to continue everyday.

- "Today's Exercise": 3 random exercises appear on a top view everyday.
- "Review Mistake": You can review effectively by solving the exercises that you made a mistake.  
- "Proficiency Test": Challenge a proficiency test (10 random exercises are set from a specific difficulty) to try your strength!

- Exercises rotate and invert randomly. Tackle exercises with fresh feeling.
- You will know your growth as you can see a previous record when you solve an exercise.
- In addition, there is a timer to measure time to solve!

From the viewpoint of an abundant number of exercises, niceness of answers and BearTsumego's unique useful features, we offer the additional exercises at greater price than books.

### 5/5 — くまさんがかわいくて◎

*2025-11-07*

実力テストがランダムに問題を出してくれていいです。まだ初級詰碁しかやってませんが、問題数も多くて繰り返し臨みやすいです。

課金で問題数も増やせて◎
スマホひとつですむのがとても助かります。
詰碁アプリで一番使いやすいと思います。

### 5/5 — 初段になれました

*2025-08-07*

中級パック1のレベル1とレベル2を繰り返し解いて覚えたあたりで野狐で初段になれました。ありがとうございます。次は基本死活を頑張ります。

### 5/5 — cute

*2024-09-29*

cute bear tsumego app♡

### 5/5 — 건의합니다

*2024-09-27*

재밌게 잘 이용하고 있습니다.
다름이 아니고
새로운 문제를 더 업데이트하면 좋을거 같아서 건의드립니다.

### 5/5 — 素晴らしいです

*2023-11-01*

初手詰碁購入しましたが多分他のレベルも購入します。パズル感覚とはいえ暗記もしたいので類似問題のレコメンドとか間違ったときの自由詰碁とかあるとうれしいです。このUI/UXで手筋とか次の一手みたいのあったら高確率で購入すると思います。

### 5/5 — Helpful & Loveable

*2023-07-19*

This is absolutely my favorite tsumego app! While the cute bears won me over from the start, the random selection of 3 problems a day has kept me practicing regularly. The option to randomly rotate the problems keeps me on my toes, and the option to review my mistakes or view correct moves has helped me understand where I went wrong. I wholehearted recommend this!

### 4/5 — 継続して取り組めるような工夫が嬉しい！

*2023-04-16*

今日の詰碁に取り組んだらアプリ内カレンダーにクマのスタンプを押してもらえるところがモチベ維持に大変ありがたいです！！

一点だけ要望があるのですが、インストール直後の初回起動時にこのアプリの動作説明が表示されるようになると助かります。次の問題に進むのか一手戻るのかヒントなのか...触っていくうちに慣れて分かる事ではありますが、それでもやはり一番最初に説明が欲しかったです。いつかアプデして頂けると今後インストールした人のためになるかなと思います...！長々と失礼しました🙇‍♂️

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2022-10-29*

I’m new to Go and all the books & blogs say get good at Tsumego. So I tried several books & apps, made little progress until I found Bear Tsumego. Now I’m getting somewhere! Many thanks to the developer!

### 4/5 — 좋아요

*2022-09-09*

문제도 많고 못 푼 문제 따로 체크 해줘서 좋아요
근데 마지막에 놓은 돌 표시를 해줬으면 좋겠어요

### 5/5 — 詰碁暗記最強の教材

*2022-07-19*

私は詰碁は答え暗記するまで反復する派なのですが、間違えた問題だけピックアップする機能などこのアプリではそれがやりやすかったです！

追加するの大変かと思いますが、手筋の問題を追加してくれたら泣いて喜びます！
