Sumo Sensei

Sumo Sensei is a free, fan-built app for grand sumo. It follows each basho day by day and keeps the banzuke for all six divisions and a profile for every rikishi. During a basho, new results come in every two hours.

What you can do:

• Open the dashboard to see the basho in progress and the day's bouts. Between basho, it shows the countdown to the next one and the last yusho winner.
• Follow each day's bouts and results during a basho.
• See the current banzuke, from Makuuchi down to Jonokuchi.
• Look up any rikishi's career record, recent bouts, top kimarite, height, and weight.
• Choose two rikishi and see who the model favors, with their head-to-head record and recent form.
• Follow the yusho race with forecasts that simulate the basho, and look back at saved forecasts from past basho.
• Play Pick 'Em: pick the winners of five Makuuchi bouts each day and compete with other players. Mark one as your confidence pick: it scores 2 points if right and loses 1 if wrong.
• Read Sumo Sensei news and comment on posts.
• Get push reminders before Pick 'Em picks lock, a daily basho preview at an hour you choose, and a notice when a basho starts.
• Turn on spoiler-free mode to hide results during a basho. Show one bout, or a whole day, when you are ready.
• Move between the dashboard, basho, rankings, and Pick 'Em from the tab bar.
• Use a light, dark, or automatic theme. The app follows your system text size.
