## What is LuminGo?

LuminGo is an on-device review tool for Go players.
KataGo analysis runs locally on your device. Review freely, improve faster.

• Import SGF game records, or load a player's public games by name
• Set up and try out positions on the board, with candidate moves, win rate, score lead and calculation volume
• With Pro, download and switch to the strongest KataGo TF3 model for higher strength; its first load takes longer
• Save game records, position notes and problems on the device and review them anytime
• Attach text or voice notes to the positions that matter
• The interface is available in English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional), switchable in Settings

LuminGo Pro additionally unlocks playing against the local KataGo engine, unlimited take-backs while trying out moves, and analysis model selection including the downloadable TF3 network.

Online game lists are read from third-party public interfaces only after you enter a user name. Those interfaces may change, be rate limited or become unavailable; this does not affect SGF import, local game records, notes, problems or on-device KataGo analysis. LuminGo is not affiliated with or endorsed by those platforms.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.7 — 2026-11-01

LuminGo 1.2.7

• The interface is now available in English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional). Switch languages in Settings.
• The button at the top right of the game library now opens Settings.
• Fixes and improvements.

### 1.2.6 — 2026-10-31

LuminGo 1.2.6

• The strongest KataGo TF3 model is now downloaded on demand, so the App Store install is considerably smaller. Pro can download it under Settings · On-device Analysis · Analysis Model, and it warms up in the background as soon as the download finishes — the first analysis no longer waits.
• Analysis now starts with the analysis rules you chose; Japanese rules use 6.5 komi.
• The play setup page is tidied up: handicap, analysis rules and komi share one row, and options no longer shift position.
• The board header shows komi, and the move number sits on the title row.
• Fixed: editing a game's komi no longer clears its position notes.
• Fixed: manual analysis control, and saving game records after trying out moves.

### 1.2.5 — 2026-10-29

LuminGo 1.2.5

• Photo recognition now runs on a newly trained board-intersection network: the four board corners are located automatically, and each point is classified by the model. If the auto-alignment is off, drag the four corner points onto the grid intersections and recognise again.
• Fixed: you can subscribe or buy Pro for life at any time during the free trial — the Pro entry no longer disappears.
• Fixed: Restore Purchases now reports an explicit result.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-10-29

LuminGo 1.2.3
• Pro 新增「按年订阅」：¥128/年，比按月更划算。
• Pro 新增「永久买断」：一次性付费长期解锁 Pro，不涉及续订与自动扣费。
• 付费墙同时展示按月订阅、按年订阅与永久买断三种方式，价格与周期直接标注在按钮上。
• 每台设备仍可免费试用 30 天，不需要付款信息。

### 1.2.2 — 2026-10-27

LuminGo 1.2.2
• 与 KataGo 对弈升级：思考档位调整为快速 128 次、标准 512 次、深入 2048 次。
• 新增「未完成的对局」：对弈中每走一手都会自动记录，回到「与 KataGo 对弈」页可以继续任意一局，也可以单独删除。
• 对弈页左上角「返回」增加二次确认；「保存棋谱」改为「结束对局」，结束后棋谱自动保存到「我的棋谱」。
• 分析模型说明更正：KataGo 最强模型为 TF3，Pro 可在「设置 · 本机分析」从默认 b18 切换。
• 新增 Pro 免费试用 30 天：不需要付款信息，每台设备一次。
• 修复：分析完成后保存的棋谱重新打开时，一选/二选/三选候选点丢失。
