One more thing: Go Star! Free iOS go app released

Post by GoEye2012 »

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/go-star ... ?ls=1&mt=8

The SGF viewer for online go game collections. It comes with highly selected features from Go Eye, as well as its own unique features such as iCloud support, etc.

Go Star brings the aesthetic feelings of reading classic go games from star players, while keeps the up-to-date game collection from the live broadcast games. Like Go Eye, the naming of Go Star has double meanings: The app for viewing games from star players and the important term of Go, the star point.

It features:

+ View highly selected online go game collections. Currently we provide Go Seigen’s complete game records, and live broadcast professional games from famous web sites.

+ Support iCloud to synchronize all your downloaded games across your iOS devices.

+ Universal app for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.

+ Supporting most intuitive way of zooming, viewing variants, comments.

+ Stunning graphics with 3D perspective board view.

+ Innovative book style mode to read a game like a book, with vivid page turning effect.

+ Reload of a running game with a simple pull and release gesture.

All the in-app purchase items are currently free, which will be subject to change in the future. More online game resources will come in the future.

Thank you, downloaded!
And you forgot to mention another (for me: annoying) feature on the settings page:

+ Flickering advertisement

So … it is not really free ;-)

I must add another extremely annoying feature:

I just tried it out a bit and loaded two or three of the Go Seigen games, and I got full screen advertisements in between :evil:

Deleted it immediately.

Thanks nevertheless.
