頻繁にクラッシュする

iPhone版でもiPad Proでも頻繁にクラッシュします。
詰将棋の検討をしたかったのに、とてもできる状態ではありません。改善を求めます。

ファイルの保存は出来るが

ファイルを開くをタップしたタイミングで落ちる。
返金して欲しいな流石に。

よく落ちる 改善願う

盤面編集が可能な唯一の将棋アプリで、非常に好きです。
ただ、盤面編集した後、再開しようとすると、かなりの確率で落ちます。
その点だけ改善してほしい。強さも程よく、とても面白いアプリなのでもっと使いたいです。ちなみに当方iPadOS16です。

Almost the best shogi app

This is a really well done app, it has local multiplayer on one iPad and Vs Ai. The graphics are the best out of any of the shogi apps and there are some nice features for practicing the game. My only complaint is there is no online mode. If I could play this game over the Internet with my friends(like chess with friends) this would be THE Shogi app for iOS, however it's not there, sadly...So only 4 stars. I hope the developers consider adding some sort of online multiplayer either play by turn or real time.

Computer player locks up

This would be a great app if the computer player didn't lock up six moves into the game.
