User Reviews

The app is praised as an approachable, educational Shogi game with varied AI and online Play, plus ample problems to practice. However, it suffers from performance issues, intrusive ads, uneven high-level AI, localization problems, and a lack of in-app tutorials, which can hinder new players despite strong learning potential.

Pros

Easy to learn Shogi basics thanks to practice mode and helpful move/risk indicators.
Wide range of AI difficulties and online/offline play options for practice and competition.
Rich learning content with tsumeshogi problems and practical strategies.
Available in English, improving accessibility for non-Japanese players.
Engaging and enjoyable overall, with strong learning potential for new players.

Cons

Frequent glitches, crashes, and occasional disconnections disrupt gameplay.
Fullscreen ads after matches and other ads reduce playability (some users would pay to remove).
High-level AI can be very difficult or unbeatable, hindering progression.
Localization/translation quality is poor, with broken grammar and confusing text.
Lacks a built-in tutorial or clear, in-app learning guide for new players.

If the app clearly works already how are you going to force an update? I had no internet access and the offline app still would not let me access it until it was updated.
