Surround is a client to play Go online with other players on the website online-go.com (Online Go Server - OGS). OGS is a very popular Go Server with a friendly community, and this app aims to provide the best OGS experience on iPhones and iPads.

Features:
- Play Go with other Go players on OGS, either live games or turn-based (correspondence) games.
- Observe other live games that are currently being played.
- Chat with other players.
- Get a glimpse of your correspondence games on your home screen with a widget.
- Receive notifications when it is your turn in correspondence games.
- Beautiful dark mode.

There are many more features on OGS website that I plan to implement into the app gradually, so I hope to have your support to make it happen faster. Let me know if there is any feature you specifically want to have first.

Nice client for OGS

First of all, that’s a nice interface to OGS. It’s a bit tricky to convince people to use it since the OGS web app works pretty well on iOS. But with Surround you get notifications and the variations in analysis mode don’t disappear once you exit the game.

What I'd like to see though:

1. Possibility to zoom. On a phone, I find it easier to read a local play if I can zoom in.

2. Buttons to move back and forth thorough the moves (or variations). The current way of tapping the exact move doesn’t work well.

3. It would be great if it gained support for other servers like Dragon Go, I could access all my correspondence games in one place.

Amazing

It’s clean UI no junk works great. What’s not to like.
By far the best way to play go with your friends on an iPhone.

If you get the time ability to add friends/search users would be nice .
