User Reviews for BadukPop Go

High Quality

The production value on this app is really good. I love the gamification of the user ratings with specific goals to achieve to rank up. The graphics are fun and the interface is nice. I don’t know how many people are playing online (which can be a big factor in longevity) but I definitely think the style of this app helps making learn go more interactive and fun. Keep it up please don’t let the app stagnate and die off!

I like it but it needs an update

I like watching Asian dramas and this game is a constant feature in both historical and present-day dramas. So I decided to research how it’s played. The tutorials are helpful, and I appreciate the ability to collect puzzles that I got wrong. I wish it would explain why a move is wrong because I don’t always understand the correct answer. But it is still very good considering it’s free. I’m only on level 1 and I lose 90% of the time. However, the last few times that I won against AI Bobby in points, the app said I lost to him on time. What’s up with that? Am I missing some timer rule or is AI Bobby a sore loser? I do like the app, but I hope the developers can fix this issue so I’m not losing my game play tickets unnecessarily.

Great Go App to play friends

This is a great app to play friends in go. There is a 24 time limit to respond to your opponent’s move (it can also be shorter but the 24 hour time is nice to keep play moving while also giving plenty of time). I use a different app for puzzles because this one doesn’t let you review puzzles without paying, but you can review games which is nice. You can play on different board sizes and with handicaps, plus it scores the game at the end.

Good app, but confusing lessons/puzzles

I’ve learned go from absolute beginner using this app to some extent, but I’m continually frustrated by the lack of explanation or follow-through in the lessons and puzzles. The explanations given don’t really explain why “the group is saved!” or “Oops, the group is dead.” If they would only show what actually happens if the puzzle were played through to its conclusion (capturing stones, etc.) or what makes a group dead, then I think I would get a lot more out of the lessons and puzzles. I’ve honestly gotten more out of just playing 9x9 online using this app, and have been able to occasionally even win against much more highly rated players. I still often struggle to recognize when I should stop trying to capture a group or even resign and am sometimes surprised that I scored so low (or high, as the case may rarely be). I just feel a lot of the time like I’m missing something and have to look things up on websites like Sensei’s Library, where if the app could just explain puzzle reasoning better I may not have to.

BadukPop - Good for Some Things

I have found BadukPop very useful for beginners, as they can play many games against the weaker computer opponents and solve the easier problems. As an AGA 1 kyu, the harder problems and opponents still provide one convenient practice for me each day. But the problems are a bit limited, often centering on a shortage of liberties, so this should probably only be one source for your (and my) tsume-go, tesuji, and yose practice. I also find the online play too frustrating so I have stopped using it. The rankings or ratings too often seem disconnected from the players strength, and I find myself playing even games against much weaker opponents, which isn’t useful for either of us. I also dislike the one-day-a-move time controls for slow games, as I cannot always get back to a long game each day.

Amazing app

No ads!! No constant pressure to get a paid subscription!! I wish every gaming app were like this. I am using it to learn how to play. There are lessons, puzzles, online play, play v AI. The game play is excellent. The app is easy to navigate. I learned to basic rules of the game from the lessons. You don’t see an ad between plays…you never seen an ad. It’s an actual enjoyable experience. Whoa, how refreshing, honestly. Thank you Badukpop: you have restored my faith in humanity.

I’m a beginner

I get the basic rules of go and I’m really enjoying the game! This is a fun and quick way to start learning for sure. There are tutorials and some puzzles to solve. My one qualm is that I wish the AI for the beginner was a little easier. I’ve won a couple of games, and I’ve kept at it and get better daily, but for some it might be a little discouraging especially when first learning. Otherwise I love it! I encourage you to give it a go!

Great Game

I recently watched a show and the characters were playing go and it looked fun so I wanted to play. The intro lessons are great! I love that the app explains answers after you play. The app if VERY well thought out! Very helpful! I’m glad I found this app and am able to learn the game and understand how to play and hopefully soon play very well! Y’all did a great job!

Too expensive!

Baduk/Go is a game that requires study, you can’t just play it casually. This looks promising, but having to pay to get keys to study makes it too expensive. You end up paying almost a dollar per key and you need one key per problem you don’t understand. There are plenty of apps out there that give you many more problems for a fixed price. The pro version to unlock unlimited study is $10 per month. With $20 you can buy Smartgo Kifu and have acccess to 2,000+ problems and Joseki and Fuseki study tools and many other features Promising app, but with shady p2p tactics.

Needs Better Explanation

It’s a fun game to see different plays and understand some maneuvers. My problem is that I have no idea how to arrive at a certain play that i’ve practiced from the beginning of the game. There’s a review on here whose sentiments I share from 2y ago. I still don’t think the explanations have improved much from that 2y ago, bc I have no idea how to build an eye, or why a certain group is dead with false eyes, I just know it’s the right answer. Once i play games I have no idea how to recognize these things because I’ve only played them in controlled levels, not when a board is spread with pieces.
