Description
Gobandroid is a Free Software goban ( aka GO-Board ) for Android to learn and play the beautiful ancient game of Go (weiqi / wei-chi in Chinese, igo in Japanese, baduk in Korean) Go originated in China more than 2,000 years ago. The game is noted for being rich in strategy despite its relatively simple rules.

Favorite free offline go study app. Reviewing pro games is easy and exploring commented trees are not intrusive. Has file storage so you know what you are opening. Easy links to download more problems, professional games, all for free. Unfortunately smaller problems, like scrolling through a comment will leave text in the background and scrolling creating a mess, and being particularly picky about sgf file format. Maybe I just need to learn to use sgf better...
★★★★★
Great app The best I have find for Go so far. Apart from just playing Go, it also has many features that are very useful for learning the game and strategies. It has three levels for Tsumego (usually 1 to 5 moves strategy problems to solve), it also has recorded games of masters to study. Another big plus is the fact that it is Open Source. Also, the developer is very helpful and responds fast.
★★★★★
Excellent Go App with ∅ Adds SGF writer, huge database of pro games and commented games, lots of Tsumego problems (easy/med/hard) that update and links to various references. Also have a video tutorial for using the app. Apparently it includes a GNUGo bot to play against, but I've never played it. Not buggy and UI is decent too. All this for free and no adds. Thanks Ligi!
★★☆☆☆
When gnugo 10 starts losing, it stops working. Totally unplayable.
★★☆☆☆
Bad For one reason, the last and next move button are so close together, when I accidentally press the last button in the middle of reviewing a game, I don't want to go back to the beginning and press the next move hundred of times to get back to my review. There are many of this kind of design flaw in this program. Don't bother fixing it.
★★☆☆☆
In tsumego, taken stones with 0 liberties don't disappear, not possible to finish many problems, e.g. Easy #3. Maybe stops working if you backtrack or take hint.
★★☆☆☆
À planter a la première seconde de lancement. Désinstaller dans la foulée. Crash at the first start at the first second, i uninstalled it it in the process. Galaxy S7
★★☆☆☆
Nothing to tell you how to play the game
