More games and better search
The GoGoD pro game collection is now at over 118,000 games, making it more important than ever to have the right tools to find the games you’re interested in. The newest version of SmartGo One adds more ways to search, and shows you which games have been added in the most recent update. Details in this blog post: https://smartgo.blog/2023/07/03/search-in-pro-games/
Favorite players
You can now mark your favorite players (and just like your favorite games, problems, and books, this syncs across your devices), and you can see just the games by your favorite players. Combine that with seeing the recently added games, and you have a good way to keep up with their games.
Tips & tricks
Some features you might not be aware of:
- The games in a game collection are ordered in the file. After sorting the games, you can save the games as sorted. If you choose "Sort: As in File", then tap on Edit in that same menu, you can reorder the games manually.
- To mark specific pro games, go to the start of the game, then tap on the tools menu in the bottom left of the board, then tap on Hotspot or Checkmark. Those marks will show up in the list of games. Better support for this is in the works.
