A good start, but needs work

Game is very attractive and plays well enough, but needs to fix a few things:

1) Always-on soundtrack -- shouldnt have to shut the thing up by reaching for the iPads volume control.

2) Mandatory turn timer -- user should be able to turn it off, or allow a much longer maximum than two minutes.

3) Only plays in portrait mode on the iPad -- Go uses a square playing surface, so we shouldnt be forced to rotate the device to accomodate the game.

4) No simple tap on the board to place a piece? Constant dragging from the bowl of stones gets tedious.

A lot to like about this app, but the annoyances add up.
