### 1/5 — バグやエラーで負けることが多い。意味がわからない。あと歩詰みは禁じ手では？

*2026-08-04*

バグやエラーで負けることが多い。意味がわからない。あと歩詰みは禁じ手では？
兎に角、バグやエラーを改善して欲しい。
自分の駒が何故か相手の駒になったり、相手の時間切れなのに自分が負けになったり、本当に勘弁して欲しい。

### 4/5 — Sound problem

*2026-07-24*

The games runs smoothly but theres 
one problem I’m dealing with my sound won’t work offline and when I’m online it follows my opponent’s setting and can’t here my sound. Please fix this issue

### 4/5 — AI対戦のレベル、謎の棋力設定

*2026-06-23*

これは私の体感ですが、
レベル1〜2は16級程度、
レベル3は10級程度、
レベル4は7級程度、レベル4だけなぜか少し強いです、レベル7よりは間違いなく強いです。
レベル5は12級程度、レベル5はなぜかめちゃ弱いです、レベル3の方が全然強いです。
レベル6は9級程度、
レベル7は8級程度、
レベル8は5級程度、レベル8から少しずつ手強くなってきます。
レベル9は3級程度、
レベル10は2級程度、この辺りから終盤の粘りが強くなってきます。
レベル11から一気に強くなります、初段〜二段くらいあります、レベル11に勝てたらアマチュア初段以上の実力はあると思います。
レベル12は二段前後あると思います。
レベル13〜15はやってないので分かりません。

### 1/5 — Forced Updates

*2026-05-19*

If the app clearly works already how are you going to force an update? I had no internet access and the offline app still would not let me access it until it was updated.

### 5/5 — Very very good

*2026-05-14*

I have really enjoyed using this. While it doesn’t teach Shogi to you, it isn’t a problem considering the internet has many guides and the fortune slip genuinely feels like an ai watching my games and giving me tips it’s concerningly accurate 😂 it would be nice to have a 1v1 feature to play with a friend on the same device tho!!

### 2/5 — 流してほしく無い時に広告が流れる

*2026-05-07*

練習対局という機能があり、自分に合ったレベルを設定してAIと対局できます
驚くべきことにこの練習対局中に音声付きの広告が流れ出します
次の手はどうしようかな、と考えてる時にです

実践詰将棋という、大量の詰将棋問題を解くことができます
この詰将棋問題を沢山解けばその分実力が付くでしょう

しかしこの詰将棋の問題を解いている時にも音声付きの広告が流れます
とても集中できません

### 3/5 — 向こうも商売

*2026-01-23*

広告に関しては利益も大事なので特に不満はないが、ユーザーが固定化されつつあるように感じるのは改善するべきなのかなぁ。

### 5/5 — 星1億

*2026-01-19*

将棋ウォーズとかよりも10億倍おもしろい。無課金でも小判を5枚払えば1局できるようになるのが一番神。小判貯め続ければほぼ無限に遊べる。詰将棋で勉強できるのも面白い、全国対局でマッチする段級を決めれるのもとても良い！とにかく神ゲー

### 2/5 — Glitching..!!

*2025-12-26*

The game is glitching to double my reward points to watch a movie it won’t even open it keeps spinning to load but nothing happens..!!
