    Only the free version is worth it.

    Am I missing something, or is the ai in this game terribly stupid? No human would ever play as bad as the ai does. This game is useless for practice.

    Wow...finally a Go app for Windows Phone! I concur with many of the other comments and look forward to seeing future enhancements.

    This seems like a fabulous way to get practice for beginner players. Considering how few Go apps are available for any platform, this was an easy purchase for me. The ability to player other phone users (especially if it supported cross platform play) would make it 5 stats and justify a higher price.

    The mechanics are well executed, but the strength is very weak, and the CPU doesn't seem to know when to pass at the end game, so it just keeps filling up liberties until there are none left. Promising, but needs more work. One additional note: the hand icon tells the game that you believe the match is done, and to score at that point. There is no way to pass.

    I finally found a Go app for WP7! The only issue i have is the chinese scoring, as i'm used to the japanese.
