### 3/5 — May work with simple passwords

*2026-01-06*

It might work if you change your password to only include letters.

### 3/5 — Does what it says

*2025-10-10*

Still works on iOS (phone) but quit working on iPadOS.

### 1/5 — I want a refund

*2025-09-10*

The app doesn’t notify.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-01-26, version 1.2.0*

This app doesn’t work, I want my money back

### 3/5 — Does what it says

*2023-12-03*

It works but there’s a cosmetic bug where after my game is finished and I have no more games in progress, this app still displays a ‘1’ in a circle indicating that it’s my move. Rebooting phone doesn’t clear it. And the app’s ‘give feedback’ option doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Geht nicht

*2022-05-20*

Funktioniert überhaupt nicht.
Weder am IPhone, noch als MacBook App kommen Notifications.
Habe alles sofort wieder gelöscht.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2021-11-28*

Not a tech person - just note it works well. Maybe an occasional extra badge (10 moves to play when should be 9) but it works well. Love it.

Enjoy the burrito - merry Christmas.

### 4/5 — Does what it needs to!

*2020-03-26*

A good way to be notified of your moves on the Online Go Server. The only thing missing is the ability to change the refresh rate like on the Mac version.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2019-09-17, version 1.0.0*

Complete waste of money. Does not login to my account
