small tip about how to put a stone on the board (how it should look):
Some time ago guys from "brainium studios" made an app called Pente / Pente Lite, with great style, great design and the best and simplest way for putting a stone on the board I have ever seen on the mobile. maybe it sounds like an exaggeration but it really works very smooth and is very precise. It would be great to get this way of playing. check this app and take a look how it works (link to itunes) http://itunes.apple.com/pl/app/pente-li ... 18785?mt=8

Oh wow, that's pretty impressive! Thanks for the tip, I like it a lot. I will pass this along to the team and we'll certainly have to test it out! I could see it being very useful on the iPhone!

Do you guys find you need zooming like that on the iPad screen though? I find it's pretty easy to place stones without zoom on most all iPad Go programs, even on a 19x19 board.

On my Android tablet, I disable zoom-ins and enable them on my phone.

Zooming on the ipad would be annoying. Big screen means huge zoom in and out effect - I would get sick before yose I think :)

Has this project continued? I would love a great alternative to Boardz and Dragon Go Client. This looked very promising!
