Agora Go Free - Weiqi, Baduk
Free GameAbout Agora Go Free - Weiqi, Baduk
Go is a strategic board game for two players, also known as Igo (Japanese), Wéiqí (Chinese) and Baduk (Korean). Go is rich in strategy despite its simple rules.
Agora Go Free is designed for 2 players playing on the same device. It also allows to import files using the SGF format, a standard to store Go games and problems. SGF files can be imported from the web, emails or the local storage.
All games are automatically saved with thumbnails for easy browsing. Paused games can be resumed later on. Finished games can be played back for later review.
Agora Go Free is optimized to run on as many display sizes and resolutions as possible, with nice graphics on Android smartphones, MP3 players, tablets (up to 13-inch screens so far) as well as Android laptops. A large screen will offer the best experience, especially when playing on 19x19 boards.

As William said in March 2016 you cannot see where you have placed a stone until you play it...really needs to be fixed.

Looked pretty nice, but after the first move, you can't see your moves anymore (you have to tap, then press "play" to see the result—the translucent piece only appears for the very first move).

Not obvious how to load sgf files so using bw go instead.

Good, but the program seems to ignore the "do no rotate" setting on my nexus 7. It is quite annoying when I'm reviewing games on my bed. I assume this doesn't happen in all devices, as it should be fairly easy to fix.

Wish you could play with a friend with another phone, like wordfeud and the like. I was so excited to see you could play with a friend, but got disappointed finding out that that friend had to be there physically beside you as my friends that are interested in playing/learning it with me are several countries away...

Love the app, thinking about getting the paid version. I'm trying to load my own OGS games into the app, but I dont appear to be able to import or load external files? How do you go about importing and SGF? Do I have to save the .sgf somewhere specific?
