when editing a problem, there is a kind of "very small" delay when placing existing stones... I suppose that's to allow the double tap to zoom... but the delay is still there when I disable the "double tap to zoom"
even with that very small delai, that's still very usable, I 'm just curious about it...

I will try to optimize this.

Some else now, when we are in problem mode, easyGo display only a part of the goban (and that's a really good things...) but in some situation, I would prefer that I shows the border, so when the border is really close to the clipped region, I will prefer to see the border.

I will implement this logic: if the clipped region is close to the border, the border will be displayed. Thanks for the feedback.

Just wanted to drop a note to say that I love EasyGo.

As a beginner, I especially liked the skills-based division of problems and the attention to "basics".

I just wish there were /more/ basics And more tsumego, too.

All this talk about new features has me excited. Do you have any estimates when a new version will be ready. I personally use EasyGo probably more than almost all the programs I use Go or otherwise ;D Thank you for the great app!

Also, have you ever thought about porting this over to Android? I would love to get it on my Android tablet. Either way I still love it.

Glad to hear that you enjoy EasyGo. Could you please write a review in Appstore if you haven't done so.

No plan for Android version now.

I apologize in advance for being an idiot. How does one start SRS in EasyGo?

The help file says, "There is a “Study” button in the bottom toolbar: tap it to start an SRS session."

I don't know what the button looks like, or even where the correct toolbar is. I am on an iPad running ios 8.0.2.

Assume I am on the screen that shows Problem Library has 2368 games, how do I start SRS?

If I need to navigate down to a subfolder, assume I am on the screen Problems>Life and Death>Easy, which shows a tile view on the left, and problem 1 of 443 on the right. There is a toolbar on the bottom, but I don't see a Study button.

Thanks in advance.

Please go to a sub-folder, such as "Problem->Life and Death->Easy", if you still can't find "Study" button in the toolbar, you might use tile view, please tap the "list view" icon on the toolbar to switch to list view, then you will find the "Study" button. List view is the default mode, and many features are only available in list view:
For both "System Library" and "My Games": filter by tags, show favorites, SRS study, view folder info(statistics, test mode)
For "My Games": Move, Copy, Delete, Export, Import, New game, New Folder, Open Built-In browser

I like fiddling with how things look so adjusting the space between stones sounded fun. I am an artist at heart so appreciate the small aesthetic details. I did write a rather lengthy review quite awhile ago ;D

Thank you for your swift response. Yes, this was the problem.

I can't be the only one to have been confronted with this, and got lost. If you don't mind a friendly suggestion, if you can't fit all the menu items in tile mode, I'd suggest at least adding a "More" button that let's you access them.

All the best!

Happened to me back when SRS was new, indeed

This feature will be included in the next update. Thanks for writing review.

It's not just about space. A lot of efforts are needed to implement new features in both views(tile and list), and I decided to leave the tile view as it is, only implement new features in the list view. As to SRS study, the next due time, failed flag are displayed only in list view.

I use EasyGo a lot for tsumego, so i love this app. But i use a big collection of problems. (>400) Some problems are pretty basic and there is no need to practice them any more because i see the solution at a first glance. The srs-algorithm is a good learning tool but i want concentrate on the problems that i have not mastered, yet.

It would be nice to have a fast way to exclude such problems from the study-mode. Perhaps a button to mark a problem as "mastered" (may favorite) or a general variable X in the options to specify that a problem will excluded from the study-mode when it is solved correctly X times.

This would be nice in the basic problems as well. When I do a massive custom test, the Ko problems always tank my score because, well, there's no way to know that I'm supposed to do ko instead of something else. I'd love to be able to exclude specific problems or groups of problems from a study session.

I suffer from this as well, but I don't think it's the problems' fault...
