Not for beginners

It’s the game of go. You can play real people and that part is great. However if you are a beginner understand that you will be a huge minority here. All players even the ones with a beginner rating are very very experienced. But if you like to learn by getting crushed. This is a good place for you. A lot of people with a beginner rating or 17k have well over 50,000 games played. The other issue I have is that nobody speaks or at least they don’t answer questions. OGS is a much better place To play go.

Technical problems on the iPhone app.

I having technical problems - at the end of the game, scoring doesn’t work and the game seems to always declare the other person the winner. My game today against Tema2009 is a case in point. I couldn’t score it, then the app crashed when I tried to report the game, then it said that white had resigned (I was black) and then it said that I had resigned. Very annoying. I like being able to use the app but these technical difficulties are annoying.

Two fixes, please

I love the app, but could you please make it so that the first game at the top of the list of games is selected by default on load instead of a game in the middle of the list? Also, please make the volume control work. This app has been around for years, but that has never worked. Thank you!
