Pros and cons of Shogi Kifu app for iPhone and iPad
Shogi Kifu app good for
I used this to record any shogi live games I think is worthwhile. This apps work pretty well. I do think that the user experience maybe enhanced. For example, it took me a while to learn how to branch a game, which is very powerful tool to learn shogi. You can also switch the view to see comment in play back mode by swiping across the bottom.
This app support import and export of kif files using email and Dropbox. I think the drop box save should be overwritable, but not yet. File save also does not support traditional Chinese character in file, but this is a least of a concern. Best if this has an IPad version.
The app runs great, and the graphics are good, but the selection is pretty bad. It only has games from 2010 and earlier. Its very easy to watch games on here, but it needs current matches. Is there any way to update the selection?
