Pros and cons of Light GO 13x app for iPhone and iPad

Light GO 13x app good for

Ive been pretty happy with this program. Ive had no crashing problems. I MUCH prefer the confirmation mechanism over how other Go games work. The AI is tactically way better than I am, but I have found some patterns were I can beat it consistently. For a beginner learning life and death patterns, it seems fine. It would be nice if one could set handicaps.
Along with the computer mode bug in two player mode when both players pass the same bug happens
Exactly what you need. No problems to speak of. Only complaint is the computer is quite challenging for a new player like myself. Needs an easier setting than easy.

Some bad moments

The computer player always makes the perfect move, he always starts first, does not ever place poor placement. If you are trying to learn the game as a pass time, dont use this app. Have never been more frustrated at a game that defines its "Easy" mode as unbeatable to the average user.
I am a beginner Go player. I play on Easy and find it way to difficult to play. I switched to Medium to see the difference and there was not any. The game just took a little longer to play. Too frustrating and no guides to help you learn and improve
Played two games, crashed in the middle of both games on my iPhone 6s
I am running updated iOS on an iPhones 6s plus. This game should work. Complete waste of a download
It is go, it plays, and I like it. It is the game and the only free app I can find to play go for free. Other apps may have better ai and more features, but you cant beat the price.
Its great just what i was looking for but the computer is crazy hard. My friend, who is incredibly good, said tgat the computer is highly advanced( but he still beat it) he said that the computer was atleast 15k. And he was 12K. But it was set on easy! So for youre next update can u make a setting that is for beginners, like new to the game beginners. I just started playing GO and am really good( for a beginner) so help????
