Ratings and reviews

it's really great, especially since it's free, but it's also got a ton of bugs.... at first, I had to relaunch the app to play a game with a bot, and now it takes forever for the bots to make their moves...sometimes the game even times out..

So far I have only tried the offline play, but it works quite well. It looks like it has strong integration with OGS, which will be one of the next things to try!

Can't specify to play only with byo-yomi. In the website it is possible. I hate other time settings
