It’s rated 4+ and currently has 15+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes BearTsumego Stand Out
Bear Tsumego is a tsumego app that focuses "Little and often fills the purse".
Let's collect stickers by solving tsumego everyday!
I hope you will enjoy and solve tsumego little by little everyday and become better when you realized it.
*Please note that "Bear Tsumego" app is for users that know go rules and stones' life & death.
●○ Polite Response ●○
Have you ever not understand why your move is wrong when you solve tsumego?
"In a book, I can't understand because there are only a few answers."
"In an app, I can't understand because white doesn't respond to my move."
In BearTsumego, I elaborate exercises so that white responds to possible moves.
Also, because you can put stones as you like after ○× show on a screen, you can confirm the answer until satisfied.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is absolutely our favorite tsumego app! While the cute bears won us over from the start, the random selection of 3 problems a day has kept us practicing regularly. The option to randomly rotate the problems keeps us on our toes, and the option to review our mistakes or view correct moves has helped us understand where we went wrong. We wholehearted recommend this.
Im new to Go and all the books & blogs say get good at Tsumego. So we tried several books & apps, made little progress until we found Bear Tsumego. Now Im getting somewhere! Many thanks to the developer.
Its the best tsumego app Ive tried, and the developer is so responsive to feedback and working hard to improve it. And the bears are so cute.
