Review: Tried Out the New Go App ‘IgoSil’—It Even Offers Official Certification!
As a casual Go fan, whose experience peaked after being inspired by Hikaru no Go, I spontaneously installed the recently released app, ‘IgoSil,’ and was thoroughly impressed!
This new app, launched on November 5, 2025, features an AI companion named “Sil” that allows even complete beginners to learn rules and techniques while having fun.
I’ll walk you through the unique game modes, such as the “Jouseki Card Battle” and “Step-Up Battle,” and share my genuine feedback after successfully reaching 16th Kyu certification on my first day.
The biggest draw? The in-app exams allow you to apply for an Official Japanese Go Institute Certificate! Join me as I aim for the ultimate goal within the app: achieving 1st Kyu!
