Edited: it ends up there is no bug but my mistake. The support team respond to my problem pretty fast (within 15 mins), and is currently investigating my issue. For unknown reasons the puzzles I unlocked with study keys do not go into permanent collection anymore after I unlocked around 18 puzzles. So I wasted my study keys on puzzles that I cannot go back to review in future. Otherwise, the lessons are a good start for go beginner, and you have variety of different levels of AI to practice.

Has some great functionality. They do limit play time in the free version, but you still get a lot of play and it's understandable given the hosting demands. The training exercises are helpful. I'd love to see a feature where you can play yourself to test general ideas basically simulating having a physical board in front of you.

When trying to play online, it only gives two ways to login, Google account or Facebook account. Whent trying to login using my Facebook account, the app freezes and I'm unable to proceed further. Edit: Apologies, somehow I failed to realize I could change the AI opponent to a harder one. Maybe adding a strength next to the name when starting a match might help make this more apparent. That said, I am kind of sad I didn't catch that myself first. Thanks for informing me of it though developer!

Thanks for the review, we appreciate the feedback! If the AI resigns early, then you're probably getting stronger and should try a harder AI :). We will consider adding an "AI never resigns" option to help though. And I will ask the team to check into the Facebook sign-in problem.
