Capture GO vs GoReview

Go is four thousand years old and takes an afternoon to explain. Capture GO teaches it in about a minute. You play the capture game — Atari Go — the variant Go teachers have used for generations to start beginners. The rules fit on one line: surround a stone, lift it off the board, you win. Everything that makes Go beautiful is already here. Nothing that makes it intimidating is. WHAT'S INSIDE • An opponent that runs on your iPhone. Five levels, and they genuinely differ — level one plays like a real beginner, level five will punish a loose stone. Playing it needs no account and no connection, and no move ever leaves your device. • Quick online matches. When another player is online, one tap beside the board starts a game against them. The opening and capture goal are drawn for you, and every move is on the clock. • A tutorial that explains itself. It defines every word before it uses one, and you can step back whenever you like. • Shapes worth collecting. The tiger's mouth, the bamboo joint, the ladder — find the patterns Go players have been naming for centuries and fill an album with them. • Proverbs. Short, old, and more useful than they look. • Every game, replayable. Walk back through your own moves and see where it turned. • Nigiri — the traditional way of deciding who takes black — played out on the board. • Play to one capture, or three, or five. Longer goals turn a quick game into a real one. • A daily streak, if you want one. Play a game a day and it keeps count. FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS Already play Go? Capture GO is a fast 9x9 capture race against an AI that reads ahead — a sharp tactical fight that fits between two subway stops. MADE TO BE USABLE Every control is labelled for VoiceOver, the whole app scales with Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion is respected. Available in 20 languages. FREE TO PLAY Capture GO is free. There is no pay-to-win — optional boosts and cosmetic items live in the shop, and the entire game is playable without them.

GoReview is the iPhone and iPad Go reviewer that turns every game you play into your personal learning library — local-first, on-device KataGo, no subscription. YOUR LIBRARY, EVERY SOURCE • OGS: sign in once and your finished games sync automatically. • Other servers: drop SGF or Tygem .gib files into the GoReview folder in iCloud Drive — they appear in your library on the next launch. • Batch import: select multiple SGF files at once, with per-file progress and a result summary. Duplicate games are skipped automatically. • Face-to-face: play someone next to you on another device over a local Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connection. No internet needed. • Same device: play the AI at 7 strength levels, or hand the iPad back and forth between two players. • iCloud backup and restore: automatically back up games and settings, then restore or merge manually on another device. Includes overwrite confirmation and protection against replacing a larger library; not two-way sync. REVIEW BECOMES PRACTICE • On-device KataGo reviews your full game in seconds — top-3 candidate moves on the board, win-rate chart, territory overlay (Benson), move-by-move commentary written into the SGF when you export. Mistake detection adapts to the rank you set—kyu players see the big blunders, while dan players catch finer slips. Cancel analysis at any time; completed moves stay saved, and you can resume from the checkpoint with an estimated time remaining. • One tap turns each mistake into a practice problem in your personal library. The AI prefills a solution line and likely failure variations. • Author your own twist: replace the suggested move, write why it works in your own words, add the failure paths you actually want to remember. • Solve as multi-move sequences with SM-2 spaced repetition — not single-guess flash cards. • Interactive review: tap the board to branch a variation, the AI re-analyzes, step back and the original game resumes. No modals, no menus. • 9×9, 13×13, 19×19. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, New Zealand rules. • Pinch to zoom, long-press to preview, board sounds and haptics. • Localized in English, 繁體中文, 简体中文, 日本語, and 한국어. TEN PROBLEMS A DAY, A REASON TO COME BACK • Daily practice: due mistake reviews and rank-matched tsumego form one fixed set. Finish it and you're done—not an endless queue. • Streaks, badges, and reminders: choose a time; GoReview nudges you when your streak is at risk, and stays quiet once you're done for the day. • Progress dashboard: streak calendar, 30-day accuracy, total problems solved, and the next 7 days of due reviews—see yourself improve. • 4,000+ OGS collections: browse offline and filter by rank. Download a collection into daily practice; finished for today but want more? Keep solving from the same collection. PRICING GoReview is free.
