- OnlineGo: An amazing online Go server, no downloads. There are many puzzles available, and games are nearly always open. I highly recommend making an account. PS, there are also often AI's available, including a version of the previously mentioned fuego. I'd still suggest downloading fuego, since it's stronger and much more customization. (online AI rating ~5k)
- KGS: A more official Go server, used sometimes in tournaments. There is less casual playing here, more 19 by 19 games, and the wait is a bit longer.
- GoProblems: A good website for Go problems, making an account is useful. It pushes ads a bit too much though.
- Cosumi: A completely online and free Go AI, but isn't really customizeable (~3k?).

Go Applications for Android
Freeware:
- Go Free: A very strong program (with ads), but contact us to get the full version of this app.
- Tsumego Pro: A lot of Go problems in varying difficulties (tsumego). Contact us to install this app though, we bought some of the problem packs.
- Hactar Go: A very neat bundle of atari go, normal go, and go problems. I'd highly recommend this app for studying Go. It's highest difficulty AI is just slightly worse than Champion Go, but plays much slower.
- Go: A very strong and well-built program that can play better than Champion Go but slower at higher difficulties. (>5d)
- Champion Go: This app is very powerful, professionally built, and has a strong AI. It plays fast, and can has medal challenges you can play for. The AI plays a bit worse in handicap games than other AIs, but in even games it can beat Fuego (~5d), mentioned above. If you are interested in this app. (~5d?)
- Igo Clock: This is definitely the best Go Clock app out there, and also works for chess or any other games. It has both Canadian and Japanese Byo-Yomi settings, and many more.
- Go Scoring Camera: This program is supposed to score games based off of photos, but it doesn't always work.
- Gomoku: Don't install this app... it's a Go club, not a Gomoku club... but this app is pretty neat nonetheless :)
