Features BW-Go
FAQ: Where is the save button?- To bring BW-Go more in line with modern Android practice, Save has been replaced with Share.
Just long-press on a game in the list, and share it to whatever app you want.
If you do want to save a game locally, you can install a file manager program that can handle the Share request much better than BW-Go ever could in a simple Save screen.BW-Go (Black & White Go) is a flexible, easy-to-use SGF editor to record, analyze, study and replay Go / Igo / Weiqi / Baduk games.
A Gnu Go computer player is available as a separate download to play against Android.Also, download the free BW-DGS plugin to play on the turn-based Dragon Go Server.If you encounter any problems, please mail me.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"I tried to repeatedly play 9x9 games against gnugo. Every second game started so that i could not play, offered to save the score again, and crashed."
Mátyás Brendel
"Love the integration with dragon go server."
David Duncan
"Excellent Go Game application."
Craig Maloney
"Very good!"
Waterreedshimmer Dracchingan
"So satisfying"
Yoppy Prasetya
"Almost faultless. What would really justify 5.. no, 6 stars would be if one's completed games were saved (yes, they are on the website.. but accessable on the app) with the bonus of being able to use a strong AI to review them. Regardless, good work Marc."
James Cook
"So good ! Thanks"
You Qing
"There is a GUI problem with showing a board on Android 10, Samsung SM-T865 tablet"
Dmitry A
"I'm loving the new updates."
Mongus Pongus
"Great app, thank you. Would you consider putting the "skip game" button back on top so one only needs to click once?"
