Gomoku that tells you why you lost. Most gomoku apps stop at "you lost." Kukmin Omok goes one step further. When a game ends, tap Review. Every move you played is re-searched at full strength to find the exact move that decided the game â then the engine plays out what happened next, one move at a time, and explains each one. "Move 12, K10 â four-three. It forces you to block the four, then grows the open three into an open four." "Move 13, J9 â forced block. There is nowhere else to play." You stop memorising moves and start understanding reasons. REVIEW MODE - Finds the losing move automatically - Step through the continuation one move at a time (Coach Pass) - Plain-language explanations: four-three, double three, open four, forced defence - Shows what you should have played instead (Coach Pass) AN OPPONENT THAT FITS YOU - Ten difficulty levels - Auto-adjust: wins move it up, losses move it down, until games are close PROPER GOMOKU - Freestyle and Renju (black's forbidden points detected and marked) - Ranked hints, undo, last-move marker - Board and stone styles WATCH ENGINES PLAY - Pit the two engines (Tactician and Classic) and any levels against each other COACH PASS (one-time purchase) - Move-by-move review replay and branch comparison - The better move, and playing on against the AI from there - Blunder quiz: your own mistakes come back as puzzles - Danger marks: the squares that lose if you play them now - Not a subscription. Buy once, use on every device with the same Apple ID PROMISES - Playing is free forever, with no ads - Only the coach features cost anything, and only once â no subscription - No account, works fully offline - Collects nothing

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Gomoku Pro+ at every 3 days against Gomoku Coach's every 3 months. Gomoku Pro+ also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
