Go is the second most played game in the world, behind Xiangqi (Chinese Chess).
Go is called Igo in Japan, Baduk in Korea, and Wei-qi in China.
Go is simple enough for a 4 year old to learn, but too complex for a computer to beat a human who is a strong beginner.
It is believed there are more possible game variations than atoms in the visible universe.
Go is considered one of the premiere challenges for programmers of artificial intelligence.
There is a historical story that in the 17th century, the rule of Tibet was once decided over three games of Go.

I would like to see better controls for observing games. The forward/back buttons are too close together and too small. When trying to step through a game one move at a time it is really easy to accidentally leap to the beginning or end. A display of the current move number and a way to go to a specific move would be nice. I would also like to be able to scroll through the moves smoothly. Minor cosmetic issue: the extension of the image at bottom of the board is weird on the xoom. I have not found a way to set my status on IGS to 'not accepting invitations'

I was in the scoring phase of a game when I accidentally pressed the back button. When I returned to the game I couldn't mark dead stones. Because of that I lost around forty points and the game.

Great! But I wish there was a way to set flags, like "not looking" so I can watch a match without interruptions.

The board is the cleanest on my phone. Panda tetsuki board and stones are too detailed for the phone display. Playing however is not so smooth.

Kudos to the developer for making this app. The menus are nice, and logging in is a snap. Main problems are discs and the playing ui. Clumsy.

I concur with the need for a not looking flag on this client

Any complaints about this app, people need to try Panda tetsuki and try to log on using different id other than one created by this app. So this app is about only good for registration?

Very nice piece of software. Can use trackball to move your stone on the board but you can not put stone on the goban.

I love playing Go. But, when will someone come up with a way to interface their portable go with GNU Go?

GREAT! Absolutely love it. Well-designed, runs fast... --IGS on Android!-- Only thing is, no d-pad control.Touch is slow sometimes. 5th star w/d-pad!

Please change the app name to simply "Goigo", its too bulky atm. Imd prefer if the icon didnt say igs on it, too.

It's an outstanding go client. Absolutely worth paying for.

This app might have been good value for money a few years ago. Now the official Pandanet IGS app offers the same functionality and more in most areas, and is free, this no longer offers good value for money. If the developer wants to continue charging the current price for this, it should offer more distinguishing features that people will be happy to pay for.
