Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GoQuest at 4.7 against Tsumego Pro (Go problems)'s 4.5. Tsumego Pro (Go problems)'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 571). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GoQuest sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Tsumego Pro (Go problems) sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GoQuest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 571 and 1.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of GoQuest's written reviews are positive against 74% of Tsumego Pro (Go problems)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GoQuest ships an update every 2 months, Tsumego Pro (Go problems) every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
