I have used three other “tutor” apps over the last few months. This is by far the best one. There is a learning curve that one has to master in order to use all available controls properly. My game is improving. You make a decision and then erase it and let the computer show you the best, correct one. The you can decide whether to use the one you made or the one the computer suggests. This apps will become popular if people try it.
