Hi ahamay,

Thanks for dropping by. :)

Why are there two separate teams for the browser and for iOS ? :scratch:

I’d guess that ahamay is with/from IGS, and that IGS probably published an API so that any third party can code a client, unlike with KGS.

I like the client overall, but an option to maximize the vertical space the board takes up would be great. It stinks having to give up so much of the limited vertical space in 16:9 monitors to the decorative board margin/empty space. Even in fullscreen mode there is significant loss, and the smaller the board, the more eye strain!

I've attached an overlay to illustrate just how much space is wasted. :)

PS: Thanks for making a linux client!

The iOS Pandanet(Go) lacks the players' info -- no names, no ranks, nothing --
for the pro tourneys like Kisei, Gosei, all the Kansai Kiin tourneys, etc.

Does anyone know why ?

The previous and other clients -- gGo, gIgo, and GoPanda for Windows and OSX --
all display the two pros' info.

But not the iOS Pandanet(Go).
This is very annoying because whenever I'm on iOS Pandanet(Go)(iPhone, iPad, etc.),
I always have to ask in chat for other kind spectators to relay the info.
Invariably, there are also others on iOS asking for the pros' info.

Is the iOS team even reading this thread ? :scratch:
iOS Pandanet(Go) has been around since 2010. 6+ years.
Still no pro info on pro games ? Why ?! :shock:

Thanks.
