SmartGo One is the only Go app you’ll need, whether you’re just getting started or already a seasoned player. Learn, play, study, and improve with SmartGo One.
Experience the ancient game of Go on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac in a whole new way. Also known as igo (囲碁), wéiqí (围棋), or baduk (바둑), Go begins with an empty board that gradually fills as players surround territory and capture stones.
Start with a 9x9 board and move up to 13x13 and 19x19 as your skills grow. SmartGo One adapts to your strength, automatically adjusting handicaps so games remain competitive and enjoyable. And when you’re ready for a serious challenge, the powerful KataGo-based engine delivers strong, rewarding play.
But SmartGo One is far more than a way to play Go. Read interactive Go books while replaying the moves they describe to deepen your understanding. Explore a collection of more than 138,000 professional game records spanning both modern and historical masters. Improve your reading and decision-making skills with a growing library of Go problems and tutorials.
Want to know how a master would handle a position on your board? SmartGo’s pattern matching technology compares your game with historical pro games and shows how strong players approached similar situations. No matter your level, SmartGo One helps you continue improving.
Features include:
• 9x9, 11x11, 13x13, and 19x19 board sizes

I am new to Go, so naturally tried a few websites and apps. SmartGo One was quite clearly has of the most well rated user experiences, and I can now see why. All the means of learning how to play and improve are there, at zero cost. The aesthetics of the app (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) are beautiful. And, when you’re ready to level up your play, affordable books, problems, etc. are available. I respect the more-than-fair pricing model SmartGo One has chosen to roll with. I am one very grateful and happy customer.

A great analysis and study platform, and being able to buy, read and interact with a huge library of go books is wonderful.Really good for playing games out with friends on an iPad or even an iPhone, or casually doing tsumego (life and death problems)Only downside is not being able to play online with it.
