ViktorSovietov?: SmartGo Kifu is my favourite on iPad. But for this price it would be great to have joseki tutor and IGS client included, I really miss these features. I also have bought TengenGo, but even free Tetsuki (such a pity that Tetsuki has no support of iPad) looks better. My first impression was that developers didn't know how to manage with the advantages of iPad's large screen.
