About noGo
noGo is a free and open source goban app, a board for the game of Go [1], also known as weiqi (China), baduk (Korea), and igo (Japan). You can record, review and play through games, including an inbuilt library of ~1000 professional game records.
NOTE: noGo may take a few seconds to load when first started after installation, as professional games and other files are unpacked. Future app starts will be much faster.
Features include:
- Create, record and view go games.
- Tablet mode.
- Open and edit multiple games simultaneously.
- Several different board/stone themes.
- Guess mode (with hints!), what percentage of professional moves can you guess when replaying a game?
- Navigate mode, tap anywhere on the board to move back and forth.
- Manage the game tree by replacing, inserting, editing and rearranging move nodes.
- Edit mode to add/remove markers (triangle, square, circle etc.) and stones.
- Autoplay at different possible speeds.
- Area score mode.
- All games saved as standard sgf.
noGo is currently beta software. It should work fine, but many features are on the way, and some bugs may not yet be fixed. If you encounter any problems or simply have a suggestion, please email or leave an issue on noGo's github page [2].
noGo is distributed as open source under the GPL version 3, and its source code is fully available on github [2]. Its UI is written in python via the fantastic kivy graphical framework [3]. Board logic is tracked via Matthew Woodcraft's Gomill tools [4]. The included professional games are from Andries Brouwer's public domain collection [5].

Used to work nicely, but won't run on Nexus 5x

I don't have any games with variations yet to work with, but the interface looks good. The 'guess next move' functionality is very well implemented. Looking forward to seeing how this builds out. If that extra screen space can be used like cgoban for variation visibility I will be very happy.

This is the best go game review and play with other people app available for android. Period. I have tried many. This is simply the best. It doesn't have ai mode, and there are lacking of many functions, but it is still the best for its simplicity, and ease of use. Sad that the developer has stopped working on this.

My device was not designed for portrait orientation and I don't like to use it so. An app like this should support rotation.

"First run will load a few seconds longer" is displayed every time I load the app. Because of this, I can't use nogo as the default sgf loader because it never loads the sgf, just opens the app. On a related note, my phone's back button doesn't exit the program from the home screen; it does nothing. Since I can't legitimately close the program, I'd imagine that's why it "loads for the first time" every time. OTHERWISE, it's the BEST sgf viewer ever, IMO. Fix this one issue and it's 5 stars.

The "Guess" mode for reviewing pro SGF files is awesome. All in all, a very nice SGF viewer, and I look forward to upcoming features and stuff I haven't tried out yet!

If you really don't want to, or don't have a way to, spend some money on a go app, this one works great! Do not underestimate it. Try it out for yourself. It has loads of kifu to review! A UI rehaul would bring this app to the top of all go apps.
