Hello, everyone.

The first update has been released!

Here is a changelog.

- bug-fix that previous variation remained in candidate variation mode.
- improved English and Chinese.
- take-back functionality in play mode. Please touch the stone you played just before.
- improved UI for viewing AI self-play
- bug-fix that could not read SGF with Windows new line(CRLF)
- try to read invalid SGFs

I appreciate everyone here to report these issue and hope that you guys like my app more.

And may I ask you a favor?
My app have gotten only three ratings in App Store...
The number of installed is not shown in App Store, so the number of ratings is an alternative impression for new customers.
Could you put your rating for my app in App Store?

Thank you!

Could it be that it’s not available in the German App store? I just searched it with my new-ish iPhone 7 and all it offers was Master of Gomoku :-?

And may I suggest that you edit the first post’s subject line so that it contains the app’s name? (And since it now is for iPhone also you could also replace “for iPad” with “for iOS”.)

Bonobo san,

I am sorry for forgetting the app URL.
Could you try the following URL for German?
https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/%E5%9B% ... 35374?mt=8

Certainly I will try to edit the subject of the first post!^^

Awesome! I've bought it and analyzed two games so far. Now I just need a new iPhone. Can anyone comment on how fast it does playouts on an XR or XS?

On iPhone X it is 14-15 nps.

What is nps?

hyperpage san,

Thank you for purchasing my app!
I am asking my users to tell me nps on Twitter if they have XR or XS, but currently no responses...
In my estimation based on the comparison between A12X and A12, XR or XS will achieve about 100 nps. But I am not sure.

When I get some related information, I will tell you it.

Thank you!

casch san,

Thank you for rating my app!

And also thank you for information about iPhone X.
It is quite helpful for me.

Nps means number of playouts per sencond.

In the time parity condition, large nps means strong.
Or you can get a certain search result quickly if nps is large.
(Even if nps is not large on your device, giving the app time eventually let the app show similar result as powerful devices.)

Thank you!

On An Empty Board

iPhone 5s, 1.1 N/s
iPhone 6 Plus, 1.4 N/s
iPhone X, 13-15 N/s
iPhone Xs Max, 130-160 N/s
iPad Air 2, 2.6 N/s

For Devices Lower than A12 it will be nice to be able to start the study on demand else its impossible to scroll all the way to the move you really want to study
The magnifying option should be disabled by default on iPads

Thanks !!!

My ideal workflow is what I had with crazy stone--I start the analysis, and leave it to run in the background for an hour or more, then see what the engine has thought of. I wonder if you have any intent to support that kind of use?

Also, possible bug report: one thing I've seen is that when the app is evicted from memory, I have to restart from scratch.

Kaliwan san,

Thank you for your great information!
I am surprised that A12 Bionic performs much better than expected.
Your information will be helpful for customers to decide the purchase.

And I understand your two feature requests.
I will consider those.

Thank you!

hyperpape san,

About back ground mode, I was worried about battery consumption.
My app consumes all charge current on new iPad Pro in study mode.^^;
I will think if there are any good manners.

And about the bug, yes, your are right, it is a bug.
I will fix it in the next version soon.
I am sorry for inconvenience.

Thank you!

Kaliwan san,

Currently, my app outputs move sounds even in manner mode.
This is a bug.
Next version, which was already applied, will fix it.
Is it enough for you?
Or do you want a complete silent mode?

Thank you so much for keeping playing my app!
