Gratuit ?

Euh gratuit chez moi ca veut pas dire une appli "portail" qui permets dacheter des eBooks. Donc il y a tromperie. Chers utilisateurs, vous serez floués en téléchargeant cette appli !

Very good

Nice app for learn . This help me to get 1 dan on kgs

Excellent

More than 60 go books available (among which a lot of highly praised classics) with nice interactive features at a fair price. A Must for every serious go player.

Très bonne application

Cette application est vraiment bien conçue et offre un réel plus aux livres avec notamment la possibilité de rejouer les diagrammes et dajouter des variations pour expérimenter. Indispensable.

Great app for any go book lover

Very fluid, lots of books. A no brainet for any go book regular reader.

A cornucopia of information with small lacks

Id rather prefer a regular ePub book instead of this application, since it lacks of the advantages to bookmark the page youve stopped reading or to highlight paragraphs youd want to refer to when learning. If added, Id appreciate it.

No Book for free

It is just an inapp-book store. No book is included. The Books are between 2,99 & 10,00 Euro. But Id prefer to by them as eBooks - not Inside this App.
