Description by Andreas Kirmse(from Google Play)
The AI implementation is optimized for android and therefore much faster than other go AI programs in the play store.
You can play against an AI opponent which is customizable in various ways: - set rank - set komi - set thinking time - use opening book - select neural network - tune parameters like "number of playouts"
Furthermore you can analyse a single position or a whole game with AI to identify errors. The analysis may be restricted to a local region to solve tsumego.
You can load and save SGF files and share SGF files from other apps to BadukAI.
The UI is based of Alexander Taylor's app "LazyBaduk" (with kind permission from him), enriched by a lot of additional features. For a complete description of all functionalities have a look at https://aki65.github.io
Recent changes: landscape mode for tablets dark style support for 18b/28b KataGo networks on recent high-end Mediatek devices pan and zoom for score histogram update to SDK 36 (android 16)

Kudos for bringing human-like Yataro out faster than Katrin!

I like that you can disable the "It's a feature not a bug" way that this stupid program places the stones above where you tap your thumb rather than EXACTLY WHERE YOU TAP YOUR THUMB. The fact that you can disable this obnoxious "dumbed-down for the lay person while simultaneously making it more complicated for the lay person" feature is the only reason I like this app. I suppose You are providing a helpful service. Considering GPU prices make me want to KMS, this app gets +1 star for access.

Seems good. I haven't much experience with AI analysis apps to compare to, I've found them a little confusing to understand the controls, and true of this too to a certain extent, but I'm starting to get the hang of it now, and it seems pretty good. You can import a board position by taking a photo of the board, and then save sgf, which is very useful. It's not as accurate as kifu-snap, but because you can edit and correct stone positions and analyze / save game, it's very good for that.

When I want to play lower rows, it jumps to past history. Thickness of my finger prevents playing lower rows. The history bars should be moved to screen top to be playable.

I'm on Android 11. If this is the same app mentioned on Reddit then it seems to be Google's fault this won't run as currently programmed. Is there a fix? I don't know. But since it won't run I can't give it more than 1 star. It seems great but until I can play it 1 star is all I can give.
★★☆☆☆Melinda Green· Jan 23, 2024
The UI is terrible. Maybe it's good as an analysis tool or something. I just want to play handicapped games against the computer which I found difficult to make it do. There doesn't even appear to be a way to resign and start a new game, and crashes are frequent.
