### 5/5 — コメント機能の改善要望

*2023-11-19, version 7.3*

右下のIマークを押したらコメントを見れると思いますが、盤の大きさを少し小さくして、あらかじめコメントを外に出しておいてもらえるとても使いやすくなると思います。

### 4/5 — バグですか？

*2022-03-29, version 7.2*

左下のｉボタンをタップすると出てくるはずの説明書きが、白紙になってしまっています。バグでしょうか？確認お願い致します。

### 5/5 — 本当に役立つ

*2022-03-17, version 7.2*

手軽に定跡手順を再確認できて重宝してます。ところで、iPadで使ってますが、説明文がいつの頃からか表示されなくなりました。あんまりそのようなレビューを見かけないので私だけなんでしょうか。

### 2/5 — 棋譜の解説が見れない

*2021-12-29, version 7.0*

相居飛車編、奇襲戦法編、駒落ち編のどのアプリでも棋譜の解説が見れなくなっています。良いアプリだと思いますので修正を望みます。

### 1/5 — バグ？

*2021-11-09, version 7.0*

左下の"i"ボタンを押しても広告が表示されるだけで、解説が表示されません。インストール時からこの状況なので解説の見方もこれであってるのかはわからないのですが、App Storeの画像のように解説を表示したくてもできない状態です。改善を求めます。

### 1/5 — Good app but NOT in English.

*2021-10-09*

Yeah, according to the app information it says it’s in English, as are all the related Shogi strategy apps from this developer.  

However, when downloaded and installed, everything is in Japanese with no obvious way to get it in English (if at all).  

That being said, the pages and info in said apps are extensive so if you can read and understand Japanese these will probably be useful to you.  I however cannot and so the one star.

### 1/5 — 趣旨がわからない

*2021-01-18, version 6.2*

居飛車対策をしたい振り飛車党のためなのか
四間飛車対策をしたい居飛車党のためなのか

どちらのためのアプリかわからない

### 1/5 — 本当の初心者には厳しい

*2020-07-18, version 6.2*

色んな戦法が載ってあるが、そもそも違いがわからない。で、いざ定跡を見てみると、先手後手のどちらがその定跡をやっているのかわからない。

### 5/5 — 右四間飛車を入れてください

*2020-06-18, version 6.2*

お願いします

### 4/5 — とても役立ちますが。

*2020-03-04, version 6.2*

初心者が将棋の定跡を知るのにはうってつけのアプリです。内容が古い部分も多いですが、下手にサイトをあさるよりも良い勉強になります。

ただ、明らかに間違った記載が目につきます。解説の中の符号が間違っていたり、漢字のミスがあったり。「若手棋士や症例会員(奨励会員)」はひどい。

無料のアプリとしては素晴らしいアプリですので、できれば改善して頂きたいです。
