Features:
- Play Go with other Go players on OGS, either live games or turn-based (correspondence) games.

Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful!
Easiest the cleanest and most beautiful app for the Online Go Server (OGS). It’s very responsive, the chat and analysis board work great, and the option to open to the game in the browser is great! If I had two wishes it would be for a dark mode, and the ability to save the SGF from the app, to save on SmartGo One.
Awesome Go client
I’ve been using this app for a few weeks. I originally found its Testflight link on OFS Forums. It functions perfectly well and I’ve started playing a lot of correspondence games because of it. I love the haptics, push updates, and simplicity of the UI. The dev did really nice work here.
Would be cool to get board style preferences eventually!
Fantastic OGS Client
My only minor complaint is that navigation within the app on the phone can feel a bit unintuitive at times. Besides that, I love it! The app has everything I’d want from a mobile OGS client as well as some extras. The widget is a very nice touch!
