This is the best on the iPod but the AI was made improperly. The idea is to make it play like a person because an ai that does not will only make the best move possible, making it almost impossible to beat

I would like something to stop the clock and tell me 'game over' or something of the sort. It not necessary to the game play, but would be nice. Otherwise, the game plays really nicely.

Not a bad app for shogi but should include a warning for checkmate cuz i did not know i totally lost the game and it did not show me any valid moves for any of the pieces. Also on the side of the board facing you there is a piece missing on the 2nd rank. It is the bishop ("angle-mover" piece).
