The AI implementation is optimized for android and therefore much faster than other go AI programs in the play store.

You can play against an AI opponent which is customizable in various ways:
- set rank
- set komi
- set thinking time
- use opening book
- select neural network
- tune parameters like "number of playouts"

Furthermore you can analyse a single position or a whole game with AI to identify errors. The analysis may be restricted to a local region to solve tsumego.

You can load and save SGF files and share SGF files from other apps to BadukAI.

The UI is based of Alexander Taylor's app "LazyBaduk" (with kind permission from him), enriched by a lot of additional features. For a complete description of all functionalities have a look at https://aki65.github.io

We are currently offering version 1.22. This is our latest, most optimized version. It is suitable for many different devices. Free download directly apk from the Google Play Store or other versions we're hosting. Moreover, you can download without registration and no login required.

We have more than 2000+ available devices for Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, Motorola, LG, Google, OnePlus, Sony, Tablet ... with so many options, it’s easy for you to choose games or software that fit your device.

It can come in handy if there are any country restrictions or any restrictions from the side of your device on the Google App Store.

Nice improvements in the last update, but I prefered when hovering a move would show the full variation all at once. Having to wait for the moves to play out slowly is pretty frustrating. Or at least it would be nice to be able to set the speed.

Kudos for bringing human-like KataGo out faster than KaTrain!

Best go AI engines are included with useful UI. It beats all other go apps, free and paid. Previously I like Lazy Baduk with LZ. But it doesn't play handicap games well and komi is fixed at 7.5. No much needed game saving/loading feature either. Baduk AI has them all. And it's free with no ad. Good work.

The UI is terrible. Maybe it's good as an analysis tool or something. I just want to play handicapped games against the computer which I found difficult to make it do. There doesn't even appear to be a way to resign and start a new game, and crashes are frequent.

While the UI is not pretty, this app brings the incredible functionality of (modern) AI analysis to our fingertips. And all for free without ads. You can't ask for more than that.

Miles Crawford

Excellent AI, pretty clunky controls. When I load an sgf please just adjust the board size instead of failing when it doesn't match

Very good. Just needs a little ironing out of the interface. A "new game" button would be welcome.

Mason McNeely

Very strong AI, maybe the best I've found on the Play Store. The user interface takes some getting used to, but it has better analysis than any other Go app I've found.
