User Reviews on GoQuest
Looking for more information? Read a comprehensive review of GoQuest below:
Absolutely fantastic app, any potential users download it now. If we may suggest one feature to the devs, we would really like GoQuest to save one game per player based on strongest opponent ELO that they beat. This way you can see at least one good game if someone is inactive for a while, while now the server just deletes every game. Also, if we get that sweet sweet victory against an 8dan we wouldn’t have to worry about archiving it somewhere else, but could look at it with GoQuest itself!
When we try to make a tournament it wont let us because there is something wrong with the name and we used four random characters multiple times. Help.
Good app Has weird whispering in the the music, a bit creepy.
Very friendly interface. Train w bots then attack your opponents.
This helps us play with some people we know this is AWSOME.
We’ve been playing on go quest for about a year now. From our very early learning days and on it has been enjoyable. One of our favorite parts about this app is as we’ve learned more and more, there are always players available around our level to meet and challenge things we’ve learned. (I will say, we mean real players. Disabling bots in the settings menu once youve gotten the basics down is great.) The one and only change we would make LISTEN UP MIND WALK! would be adding a chat feature. We cant tell you how many times we’ve had a very enjoyable game with a player and wished we could send a message thanking them for the game, or complimenting plays they had made. That being the only thing we would add, this app definitely deserves 5/5 stars. Thanks for making such an accessible and fun go platform!
GoQuest is probably the best server on the phone right now, but one thing I’d like to see added is an easy way to copy the SGF from the app. Right now we have to copy the text from sharing, select from that text the URL, navigate to that URL, then export, which can take a few minutes. Having the export feature in the app would make everything easier.
Hope more people come to play and the developer can expand the functions of the app.
Great app decent AI however 19×19 gameplay is locked.
Halfway though our first game a pop-up ad came up and ended it? No thank you.
We dont believe the scoring at the end is always correct, which is frustrating. We believe there should be a transparent explanation of the score after a game, and an option to select dead stones with your opponent once both players pass: features that currently dont exist. We wish there were also options to change the time controls and Komi instead of having only 1 preset option per board size. We enjoy the snappy sound effects of the stones when they are placed, and the app is simple to use (although made for an older iOS). There are a few styles of stones/boards to choose from which is nice.
Sorry, we will be uninstalled this game today. There have been way too much cases where we loss the game simply because the use of Chinese rule.
Funny… We read some reviews and we wonder if theyre playing the same app. Im a beginner and we’ve played maybe 60? Games on this program AND unlike many of the other sites mentioned this app is so EASY and fun to use. Im at 12Kyu and we’ve had our head handed to us by much better players (thats how you learn) and we appreciate the dumb bots…a little positive reinforcement isnt that bad… Thats what GoQuest has that the others dont. We have em all and as a beginner we keep coming back to GoQuest because its so easy to use and we get plenty of games. Addicted to the quick 13X13 games!
We play 9×9 on our phone all the time with GoQuest. Its one of our most used apps. Starting a game is fast. There are plenty of players at all skill levels, and some bots too.
This is one of the best Go apps, by far, especially if youre into small boards! However, it does have intrusive ads, and no way to get rid of them. This is the only app Id be willing to pay for to remove ads, but Id be more than happy to pay a monthly subscription fee to support the app. However, no such option exists. As such, its incredibly obnoxious to use, hence why Im knocking a star of our review.
We’ve been using this app for about 7 years. Its not that great in our opinion which may beg the question: if we dont like it, why am we still using it after 7 years and the answer is basically twofold: 1) we want to improve our game and this is the only mobile app you can use and play against real people and 2) basically we just cant stop. They could add more features we think like chat or request undo or add friend or something we dont know. Go is a pretty adversarial game and maybe theres just no way around that. Ie, its hard to make the app upon which the game is played a nice place to spend screen time. Our 2 cents.
We have been using this app for 4 years, enjoyed.
Full of bugs. Forced to view full screen video ads. Cannot play 19×19 until reach 1250 in 13×13 or 9×9, while this is almost impossible, because most players are 2kyu~1D. Ruined fun of go. Better try other app or website.
Only thing we have reviewed really Good multiplayer go. Got a lot of cool features and very fun.
There is no way to change your profile on the App??? Where do you enter your user code???
Bots are horrible and the actual players are quite godly at the game. It can be irritating for the middle ground players.
This is our most fun app. We play it every day and am addictive it.
Play is fun. The app copies from your clipboard for no apparent reason, which seems pretty sketchy.
We tried to play on 19 by 19 and we need to earn some points before we can playing on 19 size board. But to earn the neccessary pts we need to win against 3 dan 1 dan 2 kyus? What is the purpose of blocking us from playing on 19 by 19 board.
Will 19×19 ever stop being under maintenance?!
Im new to Go and trying to learn against other new players. This has us playing players way beyond our skill level. And none of them allow the use of handicaps. Its extremely discouraging playing a game and losing five times in a row with your best point spread 60. We think it should have an option to not play against higher rated players if they dont allow handicaps. Because we know Im going to lose a lot as a beginner, but Im not learning how to get better.
We imagine this app would be good if the games didnt lose connection constantly eat up you time without showing you where your opponent moved has moved. You can be crushing your opponent but lose due to time running out because the app runs the timer even when you can see where the opponent has moved and cant move yourself. This really should be fixed.
The rules section has no information for beginner players. Its obvious that English is a second language so it may be as simple as them having someone modify those pages but its also clear that whoever wrote them is making the assumption that you already know how to play.
Wrongly changed lopsided win to lost. It happens again today. GoQuest has trouble with Alive-in-seki. Please fix it. A Life death bug happened on 1-21-2019. Then we will give five stars.
This program let you play real people and you dont have to do anything fancy just hit one button that says play and within a few seconds somebody from anywhere in the world response and your game is on it is awesome and you can play at 9 x 9 game in just five minutes you can play when youre busy.
Easy fast way to play however we also think there needs to be a better time warning. We really like this app and its immensely improved our strength. Time and design is something to be improved though. P.S. We love the watching and how you can choose specific openings to watch.
First of all, great game! Finally a deserving Go game on iOS. Two suggestions for developers: 1) Whenever a game ends and it says you win or you lose – could you break down the score? Im a rookie and we would like to know how many points we got for captured pieces, territories and etc 2) It would be great if we could add a person as a friend and play together (in addition to random online opponents)
Simple but great app. It has never crashed and works perfectly.
Great for fast games. Wish they had a rematch feature :)
Wish they’d make the board use all available screen space. Huge empty margins.
Go Quest has a good concept of focusing on human to human matches and its rating system has both a point rank and a Kyu level, which is nice. The interface of the gameplay is easy to use. We even stopped playing Clash Royals because of this app! However, we really would like to see some changes: 1) add warnings when the time runs below 30 secs and 10 secs. There have been too many times when we were winning but then lose a game on time 2) make the our Page easier to navigate. The arrows are confusing and we have no clue what each thing leads to unless we click through all of them. 3) this is minor, but the app initially looks like its a personal project and not a company-made product. We think if there is a little polishing done, it would really increase the number of users. But overall, its one of the best go apps out there and we highly recommend! (As long as the time issue gets resolved)
Im not one whose intimidated by our opponents strength, but there needs to be better matchmaking. We’ve been paired with single-digit kyus more than double-digit kyus with all of our human matches, and we lose the rank points we would have earned upon losing? There is a huge skill-gap between sdks and ddks, so this is a huge oversight.
Its nice because a lot of people are available to play however you will find yourself outmatched a lot. We never really play anyone that isnt way better than us and its hard to learn from getting killed every game. No filter or way to play people of similar kyu rating.
Good Game to keep your skills sharp against variety of good players.
Great app, does what’s promised well.
Fun way to play Go, could possibly use some ux updates but the functionality is all there.
Finally an online go app thanks.
GoQuest seems to always have plenty of players of all skill levels waiting to play at any time. The UI is easy to use. We’ve significantly improved at 9×9 go from GoQuest.
This is a fantastic mobile Go game – it controls all options (Komi, time, territory, etc.) and gears it towards quick and fair play. Easy to find a game at any time. All around great app.
Wish background the music was different. Too serious and kind of depressing. Other than that we love it!
It’s a great app but there needs to be not as much maintenance for the 19×19 board…
We don’t understand the ELOs. Our rating is 800 and we get matched with people rated 1200+. And u still say that beginners can join too? What a joke. If u don’t fix this problem then we’re going to put it to 1 star if u delete it or u don’t fix it the next update.
