Doesn’t support notifications, so you have to constantly open it to see if opponents have made a move yet. This app desperately needs an update. ### 4/5 — Notifications no longer work? *2022-06-28, version 2.1* I remember using this app in the past and receiving notifications when I had moves. Unfortunately it seems like that no longer works. I was hoping to contact the dev to talk about it, but found no way to contact the dev on the new website for the app. Hopefully they’ll see this and reach out to me! I’d love to help with development on the app, I am not sure if it’s open source anymore. ### 4/5 — Fits perfectly the bill! *2021-07-29, version 2.1* Thanks! Please update the privacy information details in the App Store. ### 3/5 — Really wanted this to be great, did not work. *2020-07-31, version 2.1* The “join a game“ function did not seem to work at all, as no games were shown. There is also no way of knowing that your game request has been seen or accepted; just does not seem to be very user-friendly on first impressions. ### 3/5 — Belle marge de progression possible *2019-08-03, version 2.1* Peu de joueurs/parties possibles. Le client crash bien trop souvent quand on essaye de paramétrer une partie (j’ai essayé 5 fois de suite, une fois). L’interface de dialogue pourrait vraiment être améliorée. Pas de vrai possibilité de revoir ses parties... C’est cool qu’on ait enfin un client sur ios, mais y a une belle marge de progression possible ! ### 4/5 — Thank you *2019-04-09, version 2.1* It’s great that there is a turn by turn go app that can be played at once convenience but please please can you add push notifications? A little annoying having to go into the app and refresh to see if anyone took their turn, if you add that then this app will be perfect ### 4/5 — App just doesn't work *2018-06-02, version 2.1* App seems to not actually work. I try to start a game and nothing happens after I submit a request. No indication that I have ever even sent a request or anything. UPDATE: For some reason, the app begins to work now. The interface is not intuitive. ### 3/5 — I can’t send message to the other person *2017-11-10, version 2.1* I’m using Iphone8. I don’t know if this is a bug. I saw there was a “chat” symbol, I pressed the button, I typed “hello”, then I found there was no “done” or “submit” button to send it out! ### 4/5 — Very nice app! *2017-10-06, version 2.1* Although the dark interface of the previous version was much sexier! Justin, thanks for the upgrade but please add the dark layout option! 😀 ### 3/5 — Not bad, but far from great *2015-10-09, version 2.0.2* Why did you stop development? 😕 There are so many things in the Web app that could be integrated into this app... ### 4/5 — a DGS client! *2014-08-08, version 2.0.2* This app is great, much easier than the web interface. It's limited to playing or joining games, but notifies you when you have a game waiting, which is really convenient. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-09-15, version 2.0.1* Great app. So much easier than zooming and scrolling in Safari ### 5/5 — Much needed improvements added! *2013-08-28, version 2.0.0* The app has finally been updated to fit the iPhone 5 screen! As well as the ability to view games and scroll through moves when it is not your turn! Also push notifications to let you know when your turn is up have been added. ### 5/5 — Best asynchronous go on iOS *2013-08-27, version 2.0.0* The latest update was completely unexpected, and addresses many of the obvious limitations of the previous version. This is an incredibly simple and pleasant app. Must have for anyone who plays on DGS, worth buying an iPhone for! ### 5/5 — Very useful, when you wait somebody for meeting *2013-08-27, version 2.0.0* Very useful, when you wait somebody for meeting ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No one here *2020-12-15, version 2.1* I just tried this for the first time. There are like 3 active games. ### 1/5 — Wait time for moves *2019-10-15, version 2.1* Takes forever to play a game. No way to judge the other player or exit a game if the other player is unresponsive. ### 1/5 — Gameplay *2018-10-23, version 2.1* Shows me nothing when I attempt to look for a game. Needs to be fixed. Very unsatisfactory. ### 1/5 — Looks great but... *2017-07-11, version 2.0.2* A friend has sent me a ton of requests that I haven't received. I also don't see an interface to find them. That seems like a basic in-app capability that should be included ### 1/5 — Bad *2011-12-29, version 1.2.0* Terrible. Can't join or start games. ### 1/5 — Unusable! *2010-12-27, version 1.1* Pure junk, nothing works. Don't waste your time on this nonfunctioning app. ### 1/5 — Difficult *2010-08-24, version 0* It's difficult when you try to look for games. And you have to play with another player. Its better to play with the computer. ### 2/5 — Updates? *2017-08-15, version 2.0.2* Unfortunately there seem to be no more updates. Disappointing. ### 2/5 — Notification *2013-04-16, version 1.2.2* How can this have no notifications when you have a turn is beyond me. Wasted days.... ### 2/5 — Missing basic functionality. *2011-10-12, version 1.2.0* This is missing two essential features: notification of moves when app is not active, and the ability to open/study games when it isn't your move. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — an update would be nice <3 *2024-04-08, version 2.1* i would enjoy a dark mode, and perhaps more integrations of the website features ? or for exemple just a link to the current game’s online page also, for some reason, notifications stoped working completely a while ago ### 5/5 — Great, works as expected *2021-07-02, version 2.1* Even if this app hasn’t been updated in a while, it works just fine, better graphics than the actual DGS web interface. ### 5/5 — Great for the basic job *2018-05-15, version 2.1* Shows your open games, let’s you do moves, see previous moves; all in a nice and simple UI. I miss being able to analyze some moves before submitting my move of choice. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2017-09-24, version 2.1* Thank you for the update! ### 5/5 — Good one! *2017-08-31, version 2.0.2* 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Excellent client! *2015-02-24, version 2.0.2* This app and dragon go service is excellent. I really enjoy long term plays with this. There is enough time to think a next move. ### 5/5 — Super Convenient *2014-01-27, version 2.0.2* This app works great, very nicely executed. It makes for more frequent moves due to the "on-hand-ness" of the mobile device. I would like only one added feature, that of a selectable tone for notification. A small concern, to be sure. Five stars, of course. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2013-12-05, version 2.0.2* Thanks for giving us an amazing dgs client! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2013-10-16, version 2.0.2* Nice and simple. It was lacking some important functionalities (push notifications, etc) but these were finally added. ### 5/5 — A great way to play go *2013-09-20, version 2.0.1* DGS is a great place to play go. This App does a really nice job of letting you play and review your games. Great features in the last release. The only thing I would like to see added is the ability to write private notes during the game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
