Comments on Simply Gomoku for Android

★★★★★ Kevin Wong · Feb 17, 2016
Clean and elegant Simple interface, no ads, good statistics. Perfect.
★★★★★ Yunlu Shan · Mar 16, 2020
I didn't realize it follows the rules of standard gook and play it as free-style. So it is still a very simple and easy-to-use app! Thanks for bringing it to me! And the settings are concise, especially double tap placing. Just to note for other users: Standard Gomoku规则中,超过五子以上不算赢也不算输。
★★★★☆ A Google User · Jul 9, 2015
Good for casual just the AI is not smart enough, master is still easy... and need an option to apply the formal rule
★★★★☆ Obed Salazar · Jun 6, 2021
Good app, but I'd like the option to play the pieces on the squares instead of on the line intersections. Also, get this. I got 6 in a row instead of just 5, and it ignored it! It just went on to set up a "win" for itself.
★☆☆☆☆ andrei v · Nov 29, 2015
AI is buggy I was able to do an 8 in line and my win was never detected. I happened to trick "tricky" the AI bot, and I managed to do a 6 in line...and no win, then a 7 in line, then an 8 in line... My line was never detected. Game ended when the AI did its own 5 in line.
★★☆☆☆ Kristian Andaker · Nov 25, 2020
Nice, but faulty logic. I played a game where I got 6 in a row, but the app didn't realize I had won. The next time the computer played, it got 5 in a row, and it was declared the winner.
