[ext] Android Go Problems

Solve go problems. Free. Find it at AndroidMarket?.

Magic Baduk Go-weiqi,igo

[ext] Magic Baduk Go-weiqi,igo is an app with life and death and tesuji problems.

Master of Go

[ext] Master of Go is a new Android program with 1,020 problems as of 16 May 2011. They are sorted into four categories, from easy to hard. The only problem is you have to scroll through all of the problems to get to a given level. That said, I found even the "easy" ones to be worthwhile for my level (1k). Once you get to a given level, it does give you the next problem automatically. User interface seems pretty good, and it does interact with you on most problems. The other nice feature is it has all sorts of problems, from life and death, to endgame, to connections, etc... Overall, it was well worth the 99 cents.

EDIT - Wow, the day after I posted this, the developer released a new update that fixes the level selection problem I mentioned! How cool is that? I love Android, you just don't get this kind of developer response from Apple, lol.

Panda-Tetsuki

Doesn't come with any studying files, but supports most SGF, including Kogo's Joseki Dictionary. Has an ad-supported free version ("WeGoIgo Lite") and an ad-free paid version for $2.49, all available on the Google Play. Description on [ext] Google Play, and some information at [ext] the author's blog

Version 2.0 (currently only available in the paid version) supports reviewing games (editing comments and adding various annotations) and also includes a tool to download some SGF collections to get you started.

Yoo Chang hyuk's life and death classes

HughJfan: a very nice [ext] set of applications in my opinion. A series of 1,800 life and death problems, with good quality graphics. What makes it special is that you only get limited time to do each problem and get more points the quicker you complete them. The reason for the points system is that the app then synchronises with an online leader board so you can compete with other people to reach the number one position. There is a free version you can download to try it out. Also, the problems are divided into easy/medium/hard and you can either buy just one group at a time or all three in one go (saving 33 percent). There is also the option to take a test - which will assign you to a level. Beginner's level was easy for me (8-9k, KGS). Note: some of the screen shots in the Android Market show Korean language menus, but the Android Market version has been translated into English.

AndroidNoGo? Lite

Play online on IGS server or review over 50,000 professional games from the [ext] SGF Database in one application only. The app is ad supported and was developed for Android OS 1.6 and higher. Unfortunately, the ads served from [ext] AdMob, are placed immediately below the game navigation buttons. As a result, it is very easy to touch the ad in place of the navigation button and be directed away from the game to the ad site. A marked flaw in an otherwise good application.
