### 1/5 — 배터리 엄청 잡아먹음

*2025-01-07*

하루에 3판, 배터리 광탈, 사용자가 많지 않아서 그런지 대국신청 오래걸릴때는 5분도 걸림, 아이폰에서는 탈퇴하고 삭제한 다음 계정 새로 만들면 계속 둘 수 있음.
디자인은 깔끔한데 상단에 광고 껌뻑거려 정신없을때 있음.

### 4/5 — 인공지능 1급 부활 안돠나요?

*2024-01-07*

궁금합니다

**Developer response:** 저희가 가진 인공지능이 pc에서는 기력이 높은데 모바일에서는 기력이 뚝 떨어지는 문제가 있고 일부 말도 안되는 수를 두는 현상이 있어서 1단이상의 인공지능을 넣는 문제는 계속 원인을 파악중입니다. 뒤늦게 답변드려 죄송합니다.

### 1/5 — 시간이 남았는데 졌다네ᄋᆢㄷ

### 4/5 — 접속문제

*2023-05-04*

와이파이환경에서만 되는경우가 많네요. 방법이 없을까요?

### 5/5 — 囲碁六段までいったが

*2023-04-15*

しばらくやっていないと棋力が落ちる。 手軽に時間が空いている時に出来る良きプログラム。楽しい争うゲームです。仮病を使ってズル休みの行政不服審査グループの人々の記憶を全て忘れたい。AI(人口知能)良くなると不用な人々は、役所仕事でしょう。

アプリ作成者にお願い。
会話は、固定の選択で無くて、自由に会話出来るのをお願い致します。
