Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
For the last 3-4 days, the server is completely down? It hasnt happened before. Anyone else experienced the same problem? We have been using it to play for several years, it has a disconnection problem. Some times, it keeps disconnecting and youd lose a game because of it. Overall its pretty easy to use. For a free game, its not too bad. Much could be improved, of course.
We really love the Go problems via the app. However, we abhor that we can't play any games on it because it keeps crashing/disconnecting from the server etc. If they can fix that issue we would gladly give it 5 stars.
This was our go-to go app b/c the great GUI and (once you switch to Korean server in settings) always hundreds of available players. That means usually no wait for a game. But then the app just wouldn't login for many weeks. Now the updated version logs in but doesn't allow server switch. 'our' server has so few players on at a time that we rarely get a game. We just want to go back to Korea 1 server. FIX THIS AND BE 5-STAR.
It's free and packed with features.
Multitasking does not work well. Crashes sometimes on ipod touch 3. Hope there is English translation in broadcasts.(now it is all Korean).
App stopped working on our iPhone six. Was great before.
Crashes very frequently and has numerous bugs, we.e. Stones show up the opposite color. Otherwise decent.
The win-loss doesnt show up. We're still 0-0 after a few games. And why doesn't a country flag show up next to our name.
Since we're not aware of any WBaduk client for the Mac, the best option is an iOS client and here it is! This program not only offers access to all of the WBaduk server rooms, it also provides generous access to some tsumego and pro games. For anyone interested in the game of Go/Weiqi/Baduk, get this app.
Love the app, we just wish pro games would update live. We have to log off and back on to see new moves.
