I have come to love this app and game. The aesthetic was not attractive to me, nor the music(that I stopped), but it has this friendly and playful vibe, good lessons, good problems, and lots of people to play with :) The pricing system is also amicable, as you pay to learn more deeply, or to have a different avatar. There are just a few things you get with paying, and you can access most of it without.

The beginner tutorials do not fully explain why an answer is correct. When I asked the support why the puzzle solution was incomplete I was told that eventually you will begin to see which shapes are alive/dead and not need to play any further stones. How they expect people to see this at the beginner level without going through further steps is beyond me. Completely unhelpful, and not open to constructive criticism. I suggest you use the fully free OGS online go, buy a board and a book of 1001 life or death puzzles, and use the free GoMaster app instead. Same price as yearly subscription and you'll get more out of it.

It needs a lot of improvements. I want to play online, and I put it on automatic match. It put me against a 5d even though I'm just 8k. In order to place a stone, we must click on the place where we want the stone and then click confirm or place a stone by zooming in. There's no option to place a stone with one click. It's not possible to save my games into sgf.

Hi! To place a stone with only one click, you can go to Account->Settings and disable the "Confirm Moves" option. To save an SGF, go to the Study->Games screen and tap the SGF button. I'm not sure what happened with automatch but it might have been due to uncertainty in your rating. Ratings get higher matching accuracy after a few games.
