Description

noGo is a free and open source goban app, a board for the game of Go [1], also known as weiqi (China), baduk (Korea), and igo (Japan). You can record, review and play through games, including an inbuilt library of ~1000 professional game records.

NOTE: noGo may take a few seconds to load when first started after installation, as professional games and other files are unpacked. Future app starts will be much faster.

Features include:
- Create, record and view go games.
- Tablet mode.
- Open and edit multiple games simultaneously.
- Several different board/stone themes.
- Guess mode (with hints!), what percentage of professional moves can you guess when replaying a game?
- Navigate mode, tap anywhere on the board to move back and forth.
- Manage the game tree by replacing, inserting, editing and rearranging move nodes.
- Edit mode to add/remove markers (triangle, square, circle etc.) and stones.
- Autoplay at different possible speeds.
- Area score mode.
- All games saved as standard sgf.

noGo is currently beta software. It should work fine, but many features are on the way, and some bugs may not yet be fixed. If you encounter any problems or simply have a suggestion, please email or leave an issue on noGo's github page [2].

noGo is distributed as open source under the GPL version 3, and its source code is fully available on github [2]. Its UI is written in python via the fantastic kivy graphical framework [3]. Board logic is tracked via Matthew Woodcraft's Gomill tools [4]. The included professional games are from Andries Brouwer's public domain collection [5].

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★"First run will load a few seconds longer" is displayed every time I load the app. Because of this, I can't use nogo as the default sgf loader because it never loads the sgf, just opens the app. On a related note, my phone's back button doesn't exit the program from the home screen; it does nothing. Since I can't legitimately close the program, I'd imagine that's why it "loads for the first time" every time. OTHERWISE, it's the BEST sgf viewer ever, IMO. Fix this one issue and it's 5 stars.
5 ★This is the best go game review and play with other people app available for android. Period. I have tried many. This is simply the best. It doesn't have ai mode, and there are lacking of many functions, but it is still the best for its simplicity, and ease of use. Sad that the developer has stopped working on this.
3 ★My device was not designed for portrait orientation and I don't like to use it so. An app like this should support rotation.
3 ★Doesn't start Nexus 7
2 ★Used to work nicely, but won't run on Nexus 5x
5 ★Great free app!
5 ★I don't have any games with variations yet to work with, but the interface looks good. The 'guess next move' functionality is very well implemented. Looking forward to seeing how this builds out. If that extra screen space can be used like cgoban for variation visibility I will be very happy.
5 ★The "Guess" mode for reviewing pro SGF files is awesome. All in all, a very nice SGF viewer, and I look forward to upcoming features and stuff I haven't tried out yet!
4 ★If you really don't want to, or don't have a way to, spend some money on a go app, this one works great! Do not underestimate it. Try it out for yourself. It has loads of kifu to review! A UI rehaul would bring this app to the top of all go apps.
