Decent

App keeps crashing when I restart a level and most of the levels don’t even explain to you what you’re supposed to do. I like knowing what rank I am but at the same time my rank goes up too fast and I don’t even understand most of what I’m doing

Decent problems, needs work

There are a lot of decent problems, and the prices for packs is not bad at all. The real problem (other than the crashes) is that on a phone you usually can't see all of the text, if text comes with the problem. Oftentimes the text will explain a situation, there will be marked stones on the board, and you won't know what it is they want you to do if the text is too long.

I really enjoy doing problems, but some fixes need to be made to this app in order for that to be possible.

Also, as another suggestion, It would be nice if the problem sets were by rank. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for problems around where I am instead of getting a bunch of problems that I can't use.

OK, but there’s problems

First of all, the app crashing in the middle of solving a problem id a very serious problem and I deducted a star just for that. Second of all, it’ll say things like “you must protect against 02“. What’s “O2”? I don’t know. Third of all, it has the same problem that many go problem apps have: you’ll be clueless, so you take a guess, and suddenly it says “solved”. Why is it solved? How does what I just did solve it? What am I supposed to learn from this? These all remain unknown, and you learn nothing. EDIT:I just took off another star. It’s crashing every couple of minutes. It’s not acceptable. EDIT2: I removed another star. Down to one store now because it crashes every three minutes.
