### 5/5 — 普通に神

*2026-08-18*

普通に勉強になるしありがたい

### 5/5 — Add controller support

*2026-08-08, version 3.10*

Would like controller support

### 5/5 — 좋네요

*2026-07-12*

저는 초보중에 왕초보인데요 
처음엔 전혀 이해안되고 정말 모르겠는데요
계속하다보니 느낌이 조금 들어오네요 아직도 왜 거기세다 둬야 하는지는 모르겠지만요
좋은 앱 만들어주셔서 고맙습니다

### 5/5 — Great Problems!

*2026-07-04, version 3.10*

I am just beginning to learn Go and these puzzles have given me a lot more intuition for good play. The apps works great and the interface is friendly

### 3/5 — 문제 퀄리티

*2026-06-12*

모든 문제에 대해 많은 경우의 수들을 전부 준비할 순 없겠지만 이 앱에서 제시하는 문제들은 그리 많이 설명해주질 않습니다. 이게 왜 잘못된 수인지 그 다음 수나 설명 없이 오답이라고만 나오죠. 오히려 문제를 푸는 제가 왜 그런걸까 하고 직접 다음 수를 둬보고 있어야 합니다.
그리고 문제의 목적에 대해서도 제시를 안 해줍니다. 기본적으로는 패가 나는 수는 오답이지만 어떤 문제는 패를 만들어내는게 목표입니다.
이는 불친절하고 어떤 수가 왜 오답인지를 많이 설명해주지 않는다는 점과 합쳐져서, 온갖 수를 다 둬본 후에야 패를 내는게 답이었음을 알게될 때마다 허탈하게 만듭니다.
게다가 문제의 퀄리티가 총체적으로 난국인 때도 있습니다. 26년 6월 12일 오늘자 ‘오늘의 문제‘ 보통 난이도 첫번째 문제는 복수정답만 5가지가 넘는데 전부 다 도대체 이게 왜 답이란건지도 설명도 없고 납득도 안가는 잘못 만들어진 문제입니다.
앱이 참 미니멀리즘하니 단순해서 좋은면도 있습니다만은 개별 문제들에 대해서 경우의 수 보강좀 잘해줬으면 좋겠습니다. 맞춰도 왜 정답인질 모르고 틀려도 왜 오답인질 모르는 퍼즐을 푸는건 그리 유쾌하지 않습니다.

### 5/5 — Хороший задачник

*2026-06-07*

Мне нравится что можно проверить все комбинации.

### 1/5 — Color design

*2026-05-16*

Sorry but it’s too bright in tasks menu. Pls get back to chill colors

### 5/5 — Aleksey

*2026-05-13*

For about a year, I didn’t want to install this app because I didn’t understand what it is. But now I’m on the move and solving Go problems.

### 5/5 — 매우 훌륭한 바둑학습 앱

*2026-04-10*

유료 버전으로 설명을 달아놓거나 강의영상을 볼 수 있게 하는 것이 좋을 것 같습니다.

### 1/5 — Поиграть в Го не получится

*2026-02-20*

Нет задачи тренировки, от того «правильные»  решения кажутся странными. 

Белые камни есть почему-то нельзя («ошибка» - пишет программа»), закрыть границы раньше времени, увеличив себе площадь - тоже не дает. Есть одно единственное решение на каждый ход (что очень странно для Го без описания задачи) и это не самый лучший ход! 
Но что говорить - Го творческая и стратегическая игра. Не линейная. Поэтому ожидать, что в приложении удалось сделать хоть как-то приближенную версию игры - наверное, странно.
