Description
SmartGo Books is an interactive reader for Go books available for Apple iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad and iTouch (iPod Touch) created by Anders Kierulf. Unlike a PDF document, users can navigate backward and forward through the moves in a diagram or view them all at once.
Users can also play out their own moves directly in the diagram. This is especially helpful for problem diagrams where SmartGo Books will provide feedback on whether one's move is right or wrong. It can also be used to consider one's own ideas in the context of a given board position.
