## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too small to read iPhone 12

*2025-10-06, version 2460*

As subject says.

### 1/5 — Boring and too easy

*2022-12-17, version 1160*

It’s too easy and boring.
Even on expert setting, it’s still easy to beat. 
Not challenging enough.

### 2/5 — not good enough

*2023-09-12*

A.I isn’t strong enough

**Developer response:** Dear valued user, we are pleased to inform you that we have enhanced our app with an advanced AI to improve your experience. We kindly invite you to explore the updated features and would appreciate your continued support!

### 2/5 — Why

*2023-05-09, version 1160*

What type of Shogi variant is this anyway

### 3/5 — Toujours la même partie

*2025-01-02*

Le Shogi est un jeu que j’aime beaucoup, mais l’adversaire gagne tout le temps et on peut pas changer de partie et c’est énervant, donc si vous pouvez faire en sorte que ce jeu soit avec plusieurs partie, je ne le désinstallerai pas

### 3/5 — Bom

*2023-08-14*

O game é bonito e simples, porém a inteligência artificial precisa ser melhorada, especialmente nas dificuldades maiores.

**Developer response:** Prezado(a) usuário(a) valioso(a),

Recentemente atualizamos o aplicativo de Shogi com uma nova IA, agora mais poderosa. Esperamos que você experimente novamente o aplicativo e, caso constate que a IA realmente se tornou mais forte, considere atualizar sua avaliação!

Atenciosamente,

### 3/5 — 过于简单

*2023-07-02, version 1160*

我5星难度玩了30局，只输了两三次。

### 3/5 — Диссонанс

*2023-04-11*

По интерфейсу в аппсторе для Сёги - это лучшее приложение. Возможность установить «европеизированные» фигуры, отличная оптимизация, дружелюбный интерфейс, языки. Но боты…экспертный бот - это даже не уровень 13/14 кю… Отличное приложение в плане интерфейса, но онлайна в нём нет, а игра против компьютера не сделана хорошо, в отличии от аналогов. Только с друзьями или самим собой и играть…

**Developer response:** Уважаемый пользователь,

Мы недавно обновили приложение "Шоги", добавив новый, более сильный ИИ. Мы надеемся, что вы попробуете это приложение снова и, если ИИ действительно стал сильнее, измените свой отзыв.

С уважением,

### 3/5 — Боты

*2023-01-15*

Боты элементарные, никогда не играл в сёги, с 4-го раза выиграл бота эксперта

### 3/5 — 顔は選べぬか

*2023-01-01*

勝てるほどよろしおもふ

**Developer response:** 親愛なるユーザー様、

先日、将棋アプリをアップデートし、新たに更に強力なAIを導入いたしました。ぜひ、再度このアプリをお試しいただき、AIが強くなったと感じられましたら、レビューを更新していただけますと幸いです。

何卒、よろしくお願い申し上げます。

### 5/5 — Doesnt work at all

Opens then closes

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-07-04*

Perfeito para quem estar iniciando no shogi, principalmente porque é de fácil uso, os bot é muito fácil, ainda dá para replica jogadas de profissionais para quem quer estudas as entradas.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game!

*2024-12-12, version 1540*

I like this game. I’ve played Shogi a ton with this app. I currently have 137 points as of writing this. You can play against others locally, or against the built-in AI. The “Very Easy” AI is indeed VERY easy, but you don’t get any points for beating it, which I actually kind of like. I will admit, though. The 1-point “Easy” AI was EXTREMELY difficult when I was starting out. But as I played more and more, I eventually beat it for the first time, and after that, it just kept getting easier and easier. The AI is kind of weird, though. The “Easy” AI starts by giving you a ton of its pieces, then after that, it ALMOST always plays amazing moves with the occasional blunder thrown in. But, with a bit of practice, you’ll start to learn when to drop new pieces, when you should turn your pieces red, and even tactics and sacrifices. I find it fun that I became decent at Shogi, just by playing this app. I only watched two YouTube videos related to Shogi - I learned everything else from just playing on this app.
And if you get REALLY good, you might attempt the “Medium” AI, which is again a HUGE step up from Easy, but gives you 3 points when you win. The highest level, Expert, supposedly gives 7 points, but I haven’t even tried to beat it yet.
Just a tip: if your Game Center score does not match up with your actual score, you can fix it by logging into Game Center (try viewing the leaderboards, you’ll know you did it when the Welcome banner appears), then win a game. When you’ve done that, your score should update.
All in all, while the AI in this game is REALLY weird, it’s definitely a fun way to play (and learn) Shogi. I’m very satisfied with the fact that I had no formal guidance, and learned everything I know, only by playing this one app.

### 5/5 — Прекрасно

*2023-12-26*

Добавьте побольше уровней сложности, и промежуточные уровни сложности. Уровень самый легкий— слишком просто выиграть, а уровень 2 «легкий»— уже крайне сложно для новичка

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2023-09-20*

Adorei!

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado!

### 5/5 — Очень хорошо, но можно и посложнее

*2023-08-23*

Боты как и писалось в одном из отзывов слишком просты, я выиграл всех ботов по порядку с первого раза, а только на высоком понял, что можно ставить фигуры, которые срубил. Интерфейс и правда очень хорош тк можно поставить понятные шахматистам(мне) фигуры

### 4/5 — Pretty good but

*2024-06-27*

Pretty good but pieces sometimes disappear :/
