Explains the pitfalls, how to punish mistakes, the reasoning behind the moves, everything. The only thing I might suggest is perhaps make it so you could zoom in on the corner of the board a little, I'm on my phone so I sometimes click the wrong square. That's just nitpicking though, great app. Edit: I didn't realise the tether system was available, perfect! Solid design. Thanks Marc.

This app does exactly what it claims. Excellent interface to access kogos encyclopedia. Loads quickly and as of yet has not crashed or had persistant gliches to my knowledge. Prior to finding this app accessing kogos through my phones browser was laborious and not worth the effort. Now i have the large database of kogos with me wherever i go. Also no ads or paid content. I couldn't ask for more.

It's a really good joseki app but it needs a bit more commentary on the moves

It's nice to have rotate and transpose features. But the analysis descriptions don't change accordingly. For example, when it says 'a' if there is black support at top but it should be at right. I noticed that swapping color changes descriptions as well. It's a shame that the similar adjustment does not apply in rotating and transposing. Nevertheless, it's still worth 5 stars.
