Excellent App!

I am trying to teach myself how to play Go from books and have been making fairly slow progress so far. Then I saw this app and thought I'd give it a try. After completing about half the course I'm very surprised at how quickly my understanding of the game has increased. This is a very well-paced teaching guide that any learner of Go will benefit from. It's a good conversion to the iPad too.
My only criticism is that there's no easy way to find where you got up to in the course last time you used it. It's a small fault because it doesn't take long to tap through it - it's good revision too.
