Version 1.3.4 is available now! Just tried it on my IPAD, the scoring function works very nicely. There are two suggestions, both ideas are taken from MultiGo software:

(1) When tapping on a dead stone, now only the stones physically connected to the initial stone are marked. In fact, other stones of the same color that are connected to the initial stone by empty points are also dead. So they can be marked all together, saving the users a few clicks

(2) The results can be shown in Chinese rules, something like:
White wins by 1.5 point(s), or 1/4 stones. The latter helps avoid confusion on games using Chinese rules.

Both should be relatively easy to implement. Keep up good working!

Do you think the 'auction hammer' is the best image to represent 'scoring'? Initially it can be a bit confusing.

Just in case this isn't obvious: to use the Go4Go search, tap 'Web' from menu, then tap the Go4Go banner, and then tap the magnifier icon at the corner. This function is backed by the full Go4Go database, currently containing 38000+ games. A lot of old games have been added over the past few months.

I just spent time to properly test the game-end scoring function. I've scored 10 games without having major problems. It is much better than in the previous version, but some minor improvements are still possible.

Here are some tips for users (refer to the attached screen capture):

- when entering the scoring mode (by tapping the menu icon from the corner, and tapping the scale icon)
- territories without dead stones, such as the bottom left corner are automatically scored.
- tap the dead stones, such as T10 to score their neighbouring points
- N6 isn't a point. But by convention kifus from Japanese sources do not fill dame moves. Tap the N6 point to remove it from the final scoring.
- The game does not have G17/G18 exchange. This is not necessary because even black plays G17, white can play E17 to reduce one points. Again this is convention in Japanese kifus, which of course causes problems to software. Tap that area several times to mark three points at F19, G19 and F18.
- The scoring result should match the game result recorded. Otherwise, review the board to find more unmarked dead stones or incorrectly marked points. If still not matched, the game record might be wrong.

Here are some problems:

- Even on large-screen IPAD, I missed the dead stones a few times and tapped the nearby empty points. The behaviour when that happens is a bit unpredictable and strange. For example load the game in the screen catpure, try tapping K16 to see what happens. Maybe the algorithm can be further improved? For example, only when an area is all marked before the user is allowed to modify the status of a single points.
- If you do find a way to improve the above point, make sure areas like F19 can still be marked properly.
- Finally a suggestion unrelated to scoring. As can be seen from the screen capture, when turning on the board coordinates, the margins around the board appear to be too large. Can that be improved?

Thanks for the tips and suggestions.

The margin problem is fixed, as shown in attached image :)

The scoring algorithm is deterministic, like this: If tapping K16,
the position is marked as a white territory. As a result, K17, K18,
K19 should be marked as white's territories too as there are no
liberties for them except K16. To mark some empty points in non-closed
area (i.e., not enclosed by stones of same color), should find an
enclosed point to toggle it, then toggle those inside.

Will study other related scoring problems and make adjustments accordingly.

Thanks for the search function! It is very useful, and it came with perfect timing - it turns that GoEye got it just when I needed it :)

Small bug found: I'm not sure if this is only me but when I try to tap on info icon while viewing a game I got a freeze for a two seconds and then crash (iPhone4, iOS7.0.4).
I checked it on ipad1&4 too and all is ok there .

Thanks for reporting it. Confirmed that it is a regression bug. Only iPhone version is affected. The cause has been found and will be fixed asap. Due to Apple's Christmas holiday shutdown of iTunes Connect ("iTunes Connect will be temporarily unavailable from Saturday, December 21, to Friday, December 27, 2013). The fix will come likely in early next year. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I am setting up gallery software for Go4Go.net. I've gathered all Go Eye's promotional images and put them here:

http://www.go4go.net/go/goeye_gallery

I will later put more screen captures from my iPad and give some tips on using the App.

The new 3D perspective view of Go Eye. It is coming in a new big version upgrade in 2014. When we say about big version upgrade, we have rich new features and improvements, not a number flipping trick :)

Yo, GoEye! Please use 'hide' tags on all your photos. Since you are selling an iOS app, you should be sensitive to the fact that Safari does not resize the large photos. As a proud owner do GoEye, I am always checking your posts for the latest updates, but they hurt my eyes!

I see. Thanks for pointing out the problem. There is no way to hide the tags as L19 has no control over the image tags. It should be possible to use a Safari extension for auto restricting the max-width of image to be 100%. Will check there exits one. Or write one if there is no such thing exists. Please wait for some time.
