Instant bug fix! Wow!

The app was freezing and I wrote a review. Two days later a new update fixed it! I’ve never seen such a response. Amazing. And I’m back playing on my very favorite go app. Thank you!!!

Response from developer

Hi, Sorry for the issue. I have released version 2.4.1 to fix that. Could you update the app to see if the fix works?

App freezes

I was loving this app but a recent update has fully broken it for me. Now I can do any app function -except- open current games to submit moves. When I click on a current corsp. game the entire app locks up. I tried reinstalling the app to no avail. Looking forward to a fix!

It’s pretty good

UI is a bit wonky for correspondence games but for the most part it is very good! Has notifications if you pay for it. That’s disappointing. Thank you!

Great app they fixed the “Reconnecting” bug

This app is amazing! Great choices on what to include in the interface versus not. The conditional move functionality is outstanding.

The “reconnecting” bug seems to be fixed as of August 2026. Hooray!
