### 5/5 — 無料って何?

*2026-08-13*

迷うことなき神アプリです。これで文句ある人は有料アプリ使ってください。課金なしでこのクオリティはありえないレベル。初心者はもちろん、経験者も使うべき。
差し放題、解析無限、棋譜読み込める。それだけでもすごいのにアプデがすごい頻度である。これは入れるしかないでしょ。もう広告なんか気になりません。👍

（運営さん、CPUの戦型もうちょっと増やして欲しいです。（袖飛車とか右四間飛車とか（できれば奇襲戦法も欲しいですが））あとはCPUの差し回しを人間に近づけて欲しいです。🙇（難しいならそのままでいいです。十分楽しいアプリになっているので））

### 5/5 — 便利に使わせてもらっています。

*2026-04-11*

対局や解析後の勉強に使わせていただいております。 1つ希望があるのですが、iPhoneで見るとき盤の座標を表す数字をもう少し大きくしていただけないでしょうか。 解析結果を後手番で見る時、後手側の表示に慣れていないのですが、数字が線と被っていたり、視力が落ちてきたため、いちいち座標を数えないとならないためです。 よろしくお願いします。

### 5/5 — Perfect Shogi App

*2026-03-10*

Amazing experience learning and playing with this app. Very fun trying to raise my rating.

### 5/5 — Best English Shogi app available

*2025-11-05*

The title says it all. Get this and Crossfield Tsumeshogi app and you have a good foundation for learning the game.

### 1/5 — Just Awful

*2025-10-27*

This was suggested by Google for learning shogi. However to use those app you need to one, know how to play shogi beforehand and two know how to read Japanese. Complete English language integration is nonexistent. Went to the app help link and it’s all in Japanese too with each section having to be translated.

### 5/5 — Incrível

*2025-08-05*

N tem o que dizer é só incrível sem defeitos

### 1/5 — オススメできません。

*2025-07-09*

崩す練習をしたくて囲いの指定をしてるのに、急戦しかやってきません。左美濃いうてるのに平気でエルモ囲いとかやってきます。

AI特有の狙いが曖昧な急戦ばかり対応したせいで、対人相手の勝率もガタ落ち。

開発の手抜きが酷くオススメできないです。

### 5/5 — 最高な携帯将棋アプリ

*2025-02-06*

感謝します

### 2/5 — 急に弱すぎになった

*2024-12-03*

cpuレベルを下げたとアプデ内容にありどのぐらい勝ちやすくなったのかと試してみたら今まで明らかに負けてたレベルまで勝てるようになってしまった。正直アプデ前のレベルの方が悔しい思いしながらまた勉強して取り組めたのに少し残念だ。
アプデ前までは評価5でした。

### 3/5 — 強すぎw

*2024-09-15*

1〜2年前の3〜4段段以上の強さが2〜3級にwww

ハメ技っぽい手順を徹底的にとがめる

詰みは見逃さない 今のウォーズやクエストのダミーの強さにも通じるwww

同じ方針のダミーと延々とやってるイメージ

課金チューバーの相手みたいに簡単にハマってくれる人やCPUなど皆無www

そういうイメージ

無課金のハメ技使いを許さない感じやね
将棋界の方針やろね
