### 3/5 — 思ってたのと違うかも

*2025-04-27*

紹介されている画像と文面を見て、SGFを開けば盤面を見て確認できるアプリかと思いましたが違うのでしょうか？
その紹介画像に映っている碁盤は読み込んだ記録ではなく、新たにそこで打っている場面ですか？

SGFファイルを読み込んでもゴチャゴチャした見づらい画面の右側にテキスト表示されるだけで盤面の表示の仕方がわかりません
使用方法のページを読んでもまたゴチャゴチャと読みにくい1ページに文章で色々書いてありますが探している情報は得られませんでした

### 3/5 — 基本的な使い方の説明が無く不親切

*2021-07-21*

sffファイルを読み込める機能がある様ですが、碁盤を表示する方法が分からず、イライラしました。作者は基本的操作の流れを、ユーザが当然分かると思い込んでいるようです。設定画面でも、キャンセルする機能が無いのに違和感を感じました。 機能自体は素晴らしいアプリだと思いますが、ユーザ視点を取り入れていない為、イライラ感が強いのが残念です。

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2020-02-25*

It can’t even read a basic sgf file.

### 5/5 — すごい

*2019-09-28*

友達と対局？したりできるのですごくいいと思います。ただ、投了することができないので投了することができるようにしてい。ただきたいです

### 1/5 — 他のソフトでは読めているSGFが読めない

*2017-07-29*

取りこんで保存しようとすると、不明なファイル形式、となる。
デカいと駄目なのかな？

### 4/5 — 棋譜の取り組み

*2016-02-10*

ios端末にメール添付の棋譜ファイルを取り込む際に便利。ugfファイルを読み込め変換出来るのも大きい。
