Touch "buy". Done.


I'm looking forward to your review! ;) No, seriously, if you get the chance to talk a bit about the book, I'd appreciate some thoughts on it. I was tempted to pick it up, but the price is relatively high compared to the other SmartGo Books and I've never heard of it.

SGF Kifu is real SGF with a few custom properties and richer interpretation of comment text. SGF already allows collections (just concatenate multiple games into one file), and the table of contents is generated automatically. One of the goals was that you could create an SGF Kifu file in an existing SGF editor.


Are specifications of SGF kifu published somewhere ?

Part of it - I just started a separate thread for this.

Just to spite iGrumpy :bow:, I immediately bought The Go Consultants even though I already own the 'rain forest killer' version. However, I think this book demonstrates that Smartgo Books would greatly benefit from a slider control (or something similar) to help navigate through the game. For someone like me that has already read the text (in other words all customers who have gone through the book once and are on their second, etc. run through), it is frustrating to navigate back to a remembered point in the game. Alternatively, am I just missing something? Is there any way at present to jump to move 80 for example? The TOC in the physical book is much more detailed than in the Smartgo version. That would be a helpful alternative.

Tap on the page number in the top right to get the slider you're looking for.

Outstanding! It must be terribly frustrating to bring great products to a world full of RTFM idiots like me. :bow: :bow:

What's this "Priceless" tag on buy button inside some books? They are free or?

When a new version or new in-app purchases are added, it takes time for them to propagate through the App Store servers, and the price shows as "Priceless" until that in-app purchase is available. Usually sorts itself out within a day at most.

Strange. Have you tried to reboot, or log out of the App Store (Settings > Store > Apple ID > Sign Out)?

App store Logout/login helped. Strange. This problem was only with 1.2.1 update.
