OK, but there’s problems
First of all, the app crashing in the middle of solving a problem id a very serious problem and I deducted a star just for that. Second of all, it’ll say things like “you must protect against 02“. What’s “O2”? I don’t know. Third of all, it has the same problem that many go problem apps have: you’ll be clueless, so you take a guess, and suddenly it says “solved”. Why is it solved? How does what I just did solve it? What am I supposed to learn from this? These all remain unknown, and you learn nothing. EDIT:I just took off another star. It’s crashing every couple of minutes. It’s not acceptable. EDIT2: I removed another star. Down to one store now because it crashes every three minutes.

Good, but easily fixable glitches
I like this app, but there are many easily fixable glitches throughout. Especially, portions of the stones and text being off on my iPad display.
Crashes. Can't use = one Star
Latest is version. XR.. non stop crashing..
Decent problems, needs work
There are a lot of decent problems, and the prices for packs is not bad at all. The real problem (other than the crashes) is that on a phone you usually can't see all of the text, if text comes with the problem. Oftentimes the text will explain a situation, there will be marked stones on the board, and you won't know what it is they want you to do if the text is too long.
I really enjoy doing problems, but some fixes need to be made to this app in order for that to be possible.
Also, as another suggestion, It would be nice if the problem sets were by rank. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for problems around where I am instead of getting a bunch of problems that I can't use.

Decent
App keeps crashing when I restart a level and most of the levels don’t even explain to you what you’re supposed to do. I like knowing what rank I am but at the same time my rank goes up too fast and I don’t even understand most of what I’m doing
Crash Problems
I love this app, I think it's really great. The only problem is it keeps crashing. Please fix that so I can continue to play.
Ok
I really enjoy this app but it crashes regularly.
Crashes
Would have been great if it didn’t crash (most important) and yes, it’s icon is an abomination as mentioned by a previous reviewer. Perhaps he developer wasn’t able to give enough proper attention to creating and maintaining this app. I’m guessing it might not be fixed for a long while. :/
Frequent Crashes
Keeps crashing on iPad Pro 9.7 (iOS 10.2.1).
NOPE. useless.
1. Gets MUCH too hard, MUCH too fast. I'm sorry, I'm a beginner, I can't see 6 or 8 moves in advance. But after 15 minutes of using this app which claims to adjust to your skill level, that's how hard the problems have already gotten. Sorry, it takes longer than 15 minutes to learn to be that good.
2. Crashes every 3-4 minutes.
3. Gives tips, but only lets you read first 2 lines of them. What good is it to only be able to read the first 10 words of a long explanation? How is that supposed to do anyone any good at all?

Crashed continually
I'm using an iPhone 5C and this app doesn't last 5 minutes without crashing.
Good app but in app purchases don't work
For some reason if I go into those then click buy on any of the sets the app just freezes up
HB214 - Great App & Learning Tool!
Since then ive upgraded to an iPhone 6, this app functions very well except for one feature.
There are several problems that have "text" added to each asking questions and giving reasoning for their solutions. However it cannot be fully read either in portrait or landscape mode for some reason. Please fix this with the next update.
Ive purchased about 1/2 of the additional Go Problems already and wish to fully understand them without fighting my device every time. Thanks!

Well produced but unfinished
A thought out app with a good looking and original board. Unfortunately more work is needed to tidy up the app's rough edges.
The problems often come with a commentary. The iPhone 6 screen is regularly too small to render this meaning that the commentary is cut short or flows out of its container.
Problems are presented depending upon your performance. Some comments that come with beginner problems are too cryptic to be useful. A player who understood them would already be too strong to be presented with the problem to begin with!
Finally, the hint button sometimes confuses things. If you have already made a poor move then that is not made clear. When you haven't, all sorts of strange symbols are presented which are never explained.
This app is so close to being excellent. I hope the authors finish it soon.

Great app to practice, but it keeps crashing
Every 4-6 problems, the app crashes. I really like the setup and the problems, but the app is almost unusable. Please fix this bug! ^~^
Almost great, but flawed
The user interface is very nice and easy to use. It does have some issues - sometimes the problems have some explanatory text that's too long for the two line space, and then there seems to be no way to read it. But the really big issue is the way the problem sets are organised. Each one contains 500 problems, but instead of having easy sets and hard sets, every set contains some problems at every difficulty level. So as a beginner I paid £2.99 for about 15 problems that are appropriate to my level, together with 485 that are way too hard. If I were a pro I would probably be annoyed with having to buy 485 easy problems to get 15 that are challenging. If this were changed it would be great despite the minor bugs, but as it is it feel like a waste of money.

Excellent tool. Crashes too frequently.
Would be 5/5 if crashes were fixed.
I love it but...
It keeps crashing for a few games.. Please fix it!!! I really like it!
Great problems; very buggy
I'm learning a lot from the problems but the app crashes very frequently.
Overall good program
Putting stones on the board is pretty smooth, very few misclicks. Enjoy the leaderboard and watching my progression. One thing I would like to see is the problems placed in different location with and stone color changed up, the problems are redundant after a while.
