Ratings and reviews

The mechanics are solid and so are the AI. A strong negative would be the lack of a fleshed out tutorial system or challenges that teach strategy, but this game doesn't claim to be a guide or anything. Still, a bit of a more in-depth introduction would be welcome considering the learning curve is noteworthy. It's a relaxing game nonetheless, at least until the AI takes a dump on your strategy. Then I wallow in my lack of actual skill lol

Most excellent mobile Go game, with great tutorials for beginners and designed to meet a players needs for many levels beyond. Very well thought out. I would love to see a specific Ladders training section, as this is fundamental to learning Go. I haven't yet found any such training within an app. All that said, Go Pro is ahead of the competition!

Love it * Territory visualization is super useful for learning * Undo button makes for a nice learning tool – can try out a few different options and see how the AI responds, or figure out which move of yours was the critical mistake. A less punishing form of learning. Only frustration (other than losing) is when trying to undo a lot of steps, I accidentally hit "undo to the beginning" really often. Having these buttons just a wee bit further apart would be great.
