## What is Defense IQ?

Defense IQ trains you to read football defenses the way a quarterback does. Study real coverage shells, disguised looks, and post-snap rotations through fast, focused reps, then track exactly where you're strong and where you're guessing.
Train Mode: unlimited reps across every major coverage: Cover 1, Cover 2, Cover 3, Cover 4, Tampa 2, and more, with instant, honest scoring.
Disguise Reps: learn to read pre-snap shells that rotate after the snap, unlocked once you can reliably read a stable look.
Film Room: a personal diagnostics dashboard that shows your weakest reads and the specific coverages you're mixing up — then replays the exact look, slowed down, with the correct tell circled.
Leaderboard: see where your Defense IQ ranks against other players.
Whether you're a player, a coach, or just someone who wants to actually understand what's happening before the snap, Defense IQ turns film study into a game you can get better at every day.
 Defense IQ Pro is an auto-renewing subscription.
• Length: 1 month
• Price: $9.99 per month
Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-04

Your 7-day free trial now starts through the App Store when you subscribe, so it shows up in your Apple ID subscriptions where you can manage or cancel it. Existing subscribers are not affected.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-09

The Feed. Endless coverage looks, one question per swipe, free to play. It sits on the home screen right under Today's Drive.

Eight more coverages, taking the library to 21. Cover 6, 2-Man, Palms, Cover 3 Cloud and Buzz, and more.

Every board now tells you whether you are seeing the picture before the snap or after it. On post-snap boards, the defenders who moved show where they came from.

Rotation questions now name the look they ask about, so the answer is recall instead of a guess.

Fixed: in What's the Call, the winning route now attacks the side its explanation names. On iPad, the app runs full screen.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-04

This update corrects how timed drills measure and score your reads.

Fixed: in two drills, the countdown could score you against the previous look instead of the one on screen.

Fixed: three timed drills started their clock a moment before the picture appeared, so you had slightly less time than the timer showed.

Fixed: the pressure shown on a look could change while you were still reading it.

Fixed: switching team rooms now refreshes the leaderboard right away.

Also: the Compare screen no longer restarts one panel when you reveal the other, and several screens no longer flash an empty clock for an instant before the real one appears.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-28

Handles are now chosen from a list instead of typed.

Questions vary more. The same look no longer asks you the same question twice in a row, and a miss gets reworded instead of repeated.

Deleting your account now removes your leaderboard entry and your usage history from our servers.

Fixes: the subscription screen shows the correct price when the store is slow to answer, blocking a player sticks when they change their name, and the share card carries the right rating label.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-10

No release notes.
