Igowin life for iphone
Hello folks,
I've bought Igowin life for my iphone, and I've noticed that sometimes it is hard to place stones, even with the zoom effect, and the stone ends up 1 point off where I intended to play.
Is it really like that, or is there anything else that I don't know?

Re: Igowin life for iphone
I have the same problem when the move i need to make is on the sides of the board. Its because my fingers are too big to make certain angles close to the sides like that. What you can do, if the stone isnt matching up to the point you want is drag your finger to the black bar at the bottom of the screen. This cancels out the zoom effect and lets you try to place the stone again.
Or you can use a stylus and not have to worry about that...

Thanks for the tip, Jordus. Where can I find stylus for iphone (beside the sausage I saw once, still don't know if it was a joke or not)?

I guess the iphone stylus's are pretty big because of the way their touch screen works...

The way he does those programs - I only have joseki - is not very good, and placing stones is hard. Is there a zoom (with the little magnifying glass) in the L&D program? Because there isn't in the joseki program.

yes the L&D program does have it. just press and hold over the board. It brings up a magnifying view.

Yes, that's the way it is in most programs. But he didn't include that in the joseki program. I hope he adds it, because it's a useful little joseki dictionary.

I have had the joseki dictionary for a while, but have never had an update yet....

There must have been one update, because the current version is 1.0.1. (Though you may have bought it after that update.)

Yes. I bought it before that, pretty much when it came out.
