## What is Gomoku Coach?

See exactly where your game turned, and what to play instead.
Gomoku Coach is a calm, easy-to-read five-in-a-row game with big text and move confirmation, so a slip of the finger never costs you a game.

After every game, the review begins. A win-rate graph shows how the game flowed, marks the move where it turned, and suggests a better move. Curious about another point? Tap "What if I played here" and see.

Play the AI at your own pace
• Five levels: Starter, Easy, Medium, Hard and Master
• Starter is truly gentle, for when Easy elsewhere felt too hard
• A kyu and dan rank system so you can watch yourself improve

Review every game
• Win-rate graph for the whole game
• The exact move where the game turned, with a suggested better move
• "What if I played here" on any point of the board

Daily puzzle
• A new puzzle every day: win in 2 to 4 moves with consecutive fours (VCF)
• A streak counter to keep you coming back
• Extra practice puzzles whenever you want more

Renju rules, done right
• Forbidden points for Black (double three, double four, overline) are shown on the board
• Each one is explained, so you know why it is not allowed
• Double three is always enforced

Play a friend on one phone
• Sit across the table and share one device

Comfortable to play
• Big, readable text and move confirmation to prevent mis-taps
• Stone sounds and dark mode
• Works offline
• Available in 12 languages

Quiet about ads
Ads never interrupt a game; they only appear occasionally after a game ends. You get one free hint per game, and you can choose to watch an ad for more.

Premium (optional)
• No ads
• Deep analysis for every game
• Unlimited hints
Prefer to just remove ads? A one-time Remove Ads purchase is also available.
