This is the first platform I have seen…
This is the first platform I have seen for Go training. I like it very much.
Simple, easy and deep.
I feel like it's so easy to just get in a start getting better! And I feel like I've grown so so much better in such a short time.
The Silver courses are Right Pace, Right excellent
The Silver courses are excellent, covered at an acceptable pace, and the quizzes ensuring any weakness is worked on, improving perceptions and developing good playing habits.
Everything is very well made
Everything is very well made. Other than being very slightly pricey, there is almost zero complaint from me. Worth the money!
Perfect start for most beginners without access to a teacher
Ui is very neat and bug free, video player fullscreen gets stuck but thats minor. Lots of information available and the instructor/teacher is very capable and informative with some humor to top it off. Practice and quizes could use some improvement but it still beats just watching and playing alone. Only real problem I encountered was overly aggressive marketing and "in your face ads to subscribe or upgrade". I think the packages and subscriptions especially coupled with discount is very good value, but the marketing can be annoying most times even after purchasing said products.

Best resource for learning Go
Best resource I've found for learning Go. Videos are fun, easy to follow, really well set out with practice puzzles consolidating lesson, and I can see if I've understood or not. Massive amount of content! Amazing 👏
Great place to learn Go
Great and engaging courses with helpful quizzes and problems for learning Go. Everything is really nicely gamified, turning learning into a game in itself.
Fantastic resource
It's hard to find a Go resource that comes even close to the quality of Go Magic. The web interface is fantastic, the community is great, and the learning material will have you constantly improving.
I would rate it 4.8 stars (will round up :D ), the only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that there are just a few areas in the learning material where there are multiple choice questions (eg is this move Sente/Gote) where you simple get right or wrong responses, instead of an explanation of why. This only happens vary rarely and can be solved just by asking questions on Discord.

Best app to learn go by far. Courses (some even free), skill tree to exercise, and even an OGS integration to play online!
Really nice
Really nice, intensive and well structured discovery journey into the magic of go, guided with care and passion, sustained by interactive lessons.
Dive In!
Go Magic is an accessible and fun platform for taking your game to the next level, whether you're a beginner or more experienced.
Courses deliver great instruction in a light-hearted style and offer many chances to apply what you learn with in-lesson quizzes.
They also have their own tournament league.

GoMagic is the best siGoMagic is the best site I've seen at teaching the fundamentals of Gote I've seen at…
GoMagic is the best site I've seen at teaching the fundamentals of Go at least down to the SDK level. My Go skills have improved dramatically since I started working on their skill tree and going through their courses. Great stuff, very approachable, very inexpensive for what you get, and very good customer service. Bravo all around.
Great explanations
Go gamic knows how to explain clearly, courses are fun and well structured
High quality content delivered with passion
Content is very high quality, delivered with a lot of passion. Great for people starting to play Go, fills an important niche by delving into beginner topics in detail and with relevant problems to practice with. This foundation also helps understanding more advanced books later.
