This version of Shogi doesn't have a Threat Map; however it lets you pick a Practice level to hone your skills, between the Switch versions of Shogi and this one; it's very easy to pick up and get addicted to. This is my 5th day playing Shogi, I've played 20 games and lost 2. I'd highly recommend this app. Especially if they decide to add a Threat Map.

Saw clips of this in a bunch of animes and the app runs pretty flawless. I just beat the level 1 bot after a good 30 min game and the bot was a good challenge. The only thing that needs improvements is the rule explanation section, it is a little vague and confusing but if you play chess its not to difficult to pick up.
