### 1/5 — It’s not an ad free game.

*2023-03-30*

There was an ad after each fame.

### 1/5 — AI too easy

*2021-12-16*

Not fun

### 1/5 — Renju rule doesn’t work

*2021-05-29*

I paid $2.99 in-app purchase for Renju rule, have it selected, but it’s exactly the same. Ate my money

### 1/5 — How do you play this game?

*2014-02-19*

An explanation of how to play the game or a tutorial would be extremely helpful.

### 2/5 — 🥲

*2025-02-13*

분명 아이폰에서는 오목으로 뜨는데 애플워치에서는 빙고로만 떠요.. 저만 이런가요ㅜ😭

### 2/5 — Long While to Load

*2021-02-26*

When a game is sent by another player, the image takes a long while to load and be tap-caple for that next player to play. Took some time to load on both phones. Playing between iPhone SE and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

### 3/5 — 基本は良い

*2020-12-22*

広告も短くて良いですね
しかし放置少女の広告だけ長くて残念です
そのせいで放置少女が嫌いになりアンインストールしました

### 4/5 — Hard but fun

*2024-04-14*

I love this game but AI is so hard to beat😍

### 5/5 — The best game ever

I generally can beat the hardest AI in the other Go games in the App Store but this one is by far the most challenging!

*2020-03-23*

CPU very challenging 😤

### 5/5 — Best gomoku engine!

Not sure why tic tac toe is on there though.

### 5/5 — ALmillions

### 5/5 — Great multiplayer

*2018-07-22*

Took us four tries to find one that had local multiplayer so my cousin and i could play together. Great app!
