[2013-09-19] A Google User: Broken on GNote & CM Crashes every time you try to join a game on GNote with CyanogenMod. Terribly disappointing for a $10 app. |
|
[2013-09-09] A Google User: Was a 4, now a 1 Wiped my phone then re-download, but it says error validation or something. Emailed but have not gotten a response in a few days... Previous review: Love it, just wanna be able to chat in open room not just game, see graph, edit info, see buddy etc |
|
[2013-09-01] A Google User: Good app but has some bugs I have a nexus 7, and I noticed a bug: the app crashes whenever I click back after observing a game. The interface is nice and ergonomical, but on tablets there isn't always a need for the confirm button, I wish I could place stones with a single touch (i noticed some kind of option for that but it doesn't seem to do anything) |
|
[2013-08-22] A Google User: Ok app. Logged out sometimes Loggout often |
|
[2013-07-07] A Google User: Instant force close I don't know what happened, but since a few months, I can't use the app anymore. It opens, but trying to watch a game force closes the app. |
|
[2013-07-06] A Google User: Crashes Crashes using newest android on galaxy note 1 when trying to view any board. Please fix, I was really enjoying the app |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: Unusable App crashes whenever a game starts. This makes it completely unusable. Especially considering the price, this needs to be fixed, quickly. Tried on a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 10 |
|
[2013-04-30] A Google User: Excellent app This is a very excellent Go app. Works great on all my devices and has a very intuitive interface. Great for game recording, watching or even playing games on KGS. Price may seem a lot but two months of KGS membership and continues updates make it worthwhile! |
|
[2013-04-11] A Google User: I hate this app Lags all the time and crashes after almost every game unacceptable for an app that cost 15$ |
|
[2013-03-30] A Google User: Over all okay a little costly tho I am using an Android precident and you are able to chat by swiping left on the screen. You are able to watch a game by hitting the button that looks like a page. A real problem is you are not able to access info of users or any futures kgs plus offers if you only have a droid. The application closes at random times normally from switching from chat to game. You can not set your own time setting the time settings in place are 10 main 20 byomi or 30 main and 30 byomi. You can not listen to lectures. |
|
[2013-02-03] A Google User: FANTASTIC! |
|
[2013-01-16] A Google User: Ok but... I wish that I could access the rooms and post games like on the computer client... I would like to use it to play with friends, which is hard when I can't post games. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: good but... its a great well thought app, but sometimes it goes crazy and won't recognize the app as purchased and won't let me use it. which drives me crazy at those times. |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Good times. Love watching games before I head to bed. Now I can on my tablet while listening to music. That alone was worth the price. Thankfully the app is very well done which is a nice bonus. |
|
[2012-11-24] A Google User: Update? Badly in need of an update, especially for $15. Doesn't work with Light flow app, it force closes. |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Loved it, now broken Since upgrading to ICS it fcs every time I try to watch a game. Reported the issue weeks ago, still nothing. Hope this is fixed soon. |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: Rather expensive for a subset of features Can't create games with own settings, can't review after game, can't see your stats. Playing works ok, but its very limited for the most expensive app I ever bought. |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: Extremely limited There are several features missing from this app that are available in the free Java app for the PC. 1) There is no way to review a game just played. In fact, half the time it is not even possible to observe your opponent as he reviews. You can just hear the clicks as he tries out different things and read his comments as he talks about stuff you can't see. 2) It is not possible to see games recently played. I know of no way to accomplish this feat. It would really be nice to be able to revisit recently played games and at the very least step through them, but not possible. 3) It is not possible to see the stats of the user being played. 4) There is no way to request an Undo for those accidental passes caused by the Pass button being right next to the Confirm button. Meanwhile, passing a turn does not require confirmation, so accidentally brushing against it on the way to tapping Confirm for a move causes the turn to be passed. Very frustrating, especially when playing people who won't send you an Undo request so you can try again. 5) There is no way to get grid numbers and letters to appear, so it becomes difficult to impossible to talk about the game with your opponent. |
|
[2012-07-30] A Google User: Works great! Works great on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Samsung Galaxy S II! Would love to double click or long click for playing moves instead of the confirm button, also maybe better game creation, review control and profile viewing, possibly hide the in-game chat for bigger board view. All in all, a great app! :-) |
|
[2012-05-12] A Google User: Not bad It's good but doesn't work all the time. I would expect for 15 bucks it would function better... |
|
[2012-05-08] A Google User: Excellent Job It is so useful to be able to watch or play from anywhere. Absolutely worth every penny. If I could change my profile settings or make a custom game, I would give it 5/5. |
|
[2012-04-17] A Google User: Many bugs and problems Well the fact that this cost me $14 bucks led me to beleive in quality. Though I have been impressed with its overall connectivity, I am not impressed by the customer service. I bought this app leagally and yet I keep getting the "unable to verify you bought this on android market" error. Also I did not receive any KGS+ status after buying. Ive sent the email and still no word, no refund, no solution, nothing. So one star until problem is fixed. |
|
[2012-04-12] A Google User: Fine for watching games. UI for playing is OK too. Fine for watching games. UI for playing is OK too. But the inability to adjust handicap when joining a game makes it useless for me. As there's no way to create a custom game, you can only use AutoMatch or join an open game - and then you're stuck with the automatic handicap. |
|
[2012-04-07] A Google User: Extremely well implemented I wouldn't expect any less from wms -- this is a faithful rendition of the KGS experience. Being able to casually observe high-dan games on KGS while on the bus is an amazing thing. My only issue with it is that you can't use KGS' normal game posting feature -- you can only join a posted game or use quickmatch. Thus, if you want to play with a specific friend, you can't (unless I'm missing something?) Either way, worth the price of admission for sure. |

[2012-03-30] A Google User: Hi I don't know the order number when i bought kgs client. How can i find it? |
|
[2012-03-21] A Google User: How To use |
|
[2012-03-19] A Google User: How to see match beetween other ppls ? Can anyone confirm |
|
[2012-03-15] A Google User: 4 star Good but I'd like to see kgs audio added so you can hear teachers. Also would like to be able to review my old games, currently it looks like you can but the list is blank. |
|
[2012-03-15] A Google User: Could do better The ui is suboptimal for tablets. I hoped also more progress after buying it but it stagnates with only minor bugfixed. |
|
[2012-03-10] A Google User: This actually costs money?! The free client (CGoban) that I use on my windows machine is near perfect. This 15 dollar thing is utter crap. I'm so disappointed. (1) Input is clunky (why tap two places to place one stone?) (2) Input is slow (losing on time seems to be a problem.) (3) And why can't I use it to just record games *on my tablet*? Why do I have to log in and save them on KGS? (4) Most recently, my Transformer Prime won't even log on. ==So why does this thing cost a time and a half more than Adobe Photoshop Touch? |
|
[2012-03-02] A Google User: Very good application The UI is excelent. I am able to properly run it on an X8 & a SG2 but not on my honeycomb tablet :( KGS fan here. |
|
[2012-02-23] A Google User: Like KGS? If you're a kgs player, may as well get this. Play automatch, join custom games, chat in chatrooms, record games. I use it often for observing and kibitzing. |
|
[2012-02-22] A Google User: I fing hate it this application is incredibly awful don't get it I'm a person who trusted kgsclient but this is a completely awful awful application for go. |
|
[2012-02-20] A Google User: Could use more features, but good. |
|
[2012-01-18] A Google User: Are you going to listen to us? The app doesn't repond to your moves, so you'll lose by time; usually cutting from server and even force closing. And they don't listen to our reviews even by email. With such a high price and low quality, you have to think twice before buying. |
|
[2012-01-15] A Google User: not recommended if you have unstable network there is a strange anomaly in the time synchronization if you have bad connections so you will loose a lot due to time out even if you have time left. |
|
[2012-01-02] A Google User: Tsuijin 1/1/2012 Using an Asus EEE pad and there seems to be alot of functions not working or not available. Playing and finding a game seems fine,but the ability to watch games and chat in rooms which were the main reasons I got this seem missing. |
|
[2011-12-23] A Google User: Its great! Thank u Mr Schubert |
|
[2011-11-14] A Google User: Nice. Works nicely. Needs to have custom game button though. Waiting for a suiting game can be tiresome. |

[2011-06-11] A Google User: Really Need Another Input Method This is a nice app that looks good and sounds good. Unfortunately, I found it very difficult to play a real game with it. The problem is that the touch screen is not responsive enough to input from my fat fingers. It was very hard to get the app to register where I wanted to place my stones, and the response to the confirm button seemed slow. I lost a 15-minute game on time, and I doubt if even 1/2 hour is enough time when you are using this app. (Hardware problem? -- I was using ASUS EEE Pad.) |
