Most chess apps hand you a wall of mistakes. Chess Coach gives you one. It reads your recent games, finds the single highest-leverage weakness holding your rating back, shows you the evidence, and tracks whether it's actually getting better. HOW IT WORKS โข Enter your Chess.com or Lichess username, or import a PGN โข It reads every game, looking for the patterns that keep costing you points โข You get one Focus Area, like "endgame conversion" or "hanging pieces under time", with a number behind it โข Each Focus Area cites the games it came from, plus books, videos and articles to fix it TRACK REAL IMPROVEMENT Re-check the same weakness on your newer games and see the trend: improving, holding, or slipping. When it's solved, Chess Coach moves you on to the next thing. FREE, WITH NO ADS Analyses are unlimited and free. No ads, nothing to buy, no subscription. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT It reads the games you actually played, blitz, rapid or classical, not generic puzzles. And it won't bury you in forty findings you'll never act on. No account, no setup. Your games are sent securely to run the analysis and are never stored. Or bring your own Anthropic API key in Settings. Stop guessing what to work on. Fix one thing at a time.

TapTop 5
Read full descriptionHide full description
"TapTop 5" is a beautifully designed territorial board game with single and two-player modes. Place shapes on the grid, claim most of the board, and outmaneuver the other side until there are no legal moves left on the board. ## TWO WAYS TO PLAY Solo: Face an AI opponent with three difficulty levels (Casual, Even, Sharp). Friendly Pass: Pass and play with a friend on your device. Note: No second account needed. Works on iPhone and iPad. ## HOW IT WORKS - Tap (or drag your finger) to place shapes of 1 to 5 cells onto the grid. - Each new piece must diagonally touch one of your own colors and never share a side edge with another piece of the same color. - Your first piece has to cover your starting corner. - The match ends when no color can be placed anymore. - Whoever places the most cells wins. ## WHAT MAKES IT TAPTOP 5 - Draw your own piece. You control the shape you place, not a fixed tray of pre-cut polyominoes. - Three AI difficulties. Casual plays freely, Even balances, Sharp expands fast. - Modern design. Clean cream UI, original typography, smooth animations. - Accessibility built in. Color-blind patterns, left-hand mode, sound toggle, and persistent corner hints for new players. - Drawer pull-up. Pull the score dock upward to end a match without leaving your flow. - Opponent move highlight. See exactly where the other side just placed. - No accounts, no ads, no internet required. ## WORKS ON BOTH DEVICES OFFLINE - TapTop 5 plays great on iPhone and scales up cleanly on iPad. - Friendly Pass mode is especially fun on iPad with two players sitting across from each other. - Works without any internet/network connection. ## WHO IT IS FOR If you love Blokus, abstract strategy, brain games, tile-laying puzzles, or simple board games you can pull out anywhere, TapTop 5 is built for you. Super fun for travel, family gatherings, or parties (party game). Take over. Cover the board. Tap your way to the Top.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TapTop 5 at none against Chess Coach's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
