Ratings and reviews

Good, but not perfect. Like a lot of tsumego apps, it would benefit from telling you what it wants you to do (life, seki, ko, etc.) Plenty of the problems have more than one solution, but it only ever seems to want a specific one. Also, its low ranked puzzles are a lot harder than other tsumego apps I've tried. It's still a cheap set of lots of good tsumego, though. Update: its puzzle ratings are waaay off. Unless you're sdk+, I'm not sure how useful these sets are.

The puzzles are fairly standard, but still very useful for recognizing shapes and improving your game. The ranking system is fun to play with, and the puzzles with multiple solutions let you check each of them which alsi helps you improve. The biggest ptoblem, and the only thing keeping this app from a five star rating, is the fact that the puzzle selectiin is very limited unless you put money into it.

I'm back to studying, like many here, after some time away. These problems can be some real head scratchers. Most have at least one core lesson to figure out. It might be counting libert ies, making good shape, seizing sente, and the like. I also appreciate that the computer responds differently when you revisit some problems. I find the app is helpful alongside other study tools. You've definitely got to reach upward to learn from the app, but as the devs point out that effort is necessary.
