Crazy Stone Deep Learning for Android
Very strong AI that will challenge even the strongest of Go players
AI is VERY STRONG. It's about 3 stones stronger than Champion Go, its previous version. But it does crash sometime. Can't analyze games in rating mode even after game is over. CS best move point in analyze mode should be highlighted because it's difficult to locate by coordinates. Missing star is for the high price tag.
It is my friend
This tends to be a real issue. Also, would be better to see a whole branch or two to see why that move is good so we can confidence with the deep learning instead of blind belief. I do like that I can challenge a specific human strength instead of a scale of 1 to ten. Would also like it better if I can move through moves with a scroll instead of buttons, takes a while to get to the middle game.
Easy to use interface, with a nice 'rating' mode where you can see your progress. It's also the strongest AI commercially available on Android, far stronger than I am able to play at! I hope that any engine improvements that Remi makes to the main version of crazystone are pushed through to this app as patches/updates as it was quite expensive.
My only complaint is the cumbersome UI. Why do I have to save a game, and exit to another mode, then reload the game just to run an analysis? And then save again or lose the analysis? Then exit, back to another mode just to play again? This seems easy to streamline, but for some reason, they chose not to.
I'm starting to like this app a lot. Some reviews are misleading: you can actually load any SGF file in the analysis mode, as well as save any game in the sdcard. You just need to know the folder where they are saved or from where the app reads the files. Tip: when saving a game, the app will show you the exact folder path ;)
I like this program, but it's definitely not the claimed 5d in strength, unless using some very generous scale; I'm a rusty 3d on IGS, and even I was able to beat it by over 30 points on my first attempt, without trying that hard. It also seems to have trouble knowing when to resign, dragging on a lost game for ages, playing lots of moves to try to save a dead group in my territory, long after it fight was well and truly over. Still, it looks nice and was still fun to play against. If it gets stronger and better at knowing when a game is lost, I'll gladly increase my score.
Very nice App. The only thing I miss is the confirmation click input method from GoDruid but the always working undo button makes up for that. From my 5k standpoint a very good Bot with a good sense for direction of play.
the rating scale seems tad optimistic, Im kgs 3dan and achieved 5dan in rating mode on my note 4. wishlist: being able to click on a move in analyze mode to get the main line of the variation.
Please allow loading SGF files for analysis and allow saving SGF files into the sdcard instead of emails. These should be basic things to implement.
Works well on Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy Tab E. I just bought it, but loving it so far. Everything I could want from a singleplayer Go app!
I can't load and save sgf files. Please fix
Great program, would like rating mode for 13x13 as well as storing the record for non rating mode
First, crazystone is great! Second: in the settings I can set play speed to "slow" "normal" and "fast" in addition to the rank. Do they affect style/strength or do they just slow down the computer? Thanks
This is currently the strongest phone app to implement an AI for the classical game of go. It is very strong and it has an option to analyze the game afterwards too.
Please fix display bug for xperia xz premium. It works on my other devices. Will change to 5 stars when bug is fixed.

the rating scale seems tad optimistic, Im kgs 3dan and achieved 5dan in rating mode on my note 4. wishlist: - easily load external sgf files so can analyze own games played elsewhere. - being able to click on a move in analyze mode to get the main line of the variation.
Move confirmation for touch input method would be nice to have. Thank you.
Works will on Nexus 6P, looking forward to learning with it!

The AI is pretty strong. I am European 5d; it is a little weaker than me on its top setting at 19x19.
