Don't know yet if the training is helping haven't been doing it for very long, but it is definitely challenging, organized & it seems valid. I had a stroke a few years back & this training is reminiscent of some of my therapy for cognative development that I needed after I lost some ability directly after. It is my hope that this training will help keep my brain strong & keep me from getting dementia.

not a bad app, But it constantly wants access to my pictures and contacts...to keep track of my progress. I don't why access to my photos can track my progress. This kind of open access is how "the internet" gets all those "private" pics you wouldn't others to see. To developers: try to find other ways to track it. Thanks

DO NOT PAY!! The app doesn't accurately keep the scores. The data gets lost. There isn't really much of a point if you can't keep track of your progress. There also is no description of what the percentage means and each week it zeroes out. It has an area to keep track of each game so you can see how you improve each time you play each game, but it doesn't work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It worked until I paid to open all areas. What a waste. It has potential if it worked.

So far, I really enjoy this app. It's got a lot of different mind games to help your brain think. And if you have ADHD like me, you will struggle with most of the games b/c there's so much going on, different colors/shapes, things going on at once you have to pay attention to, etc. But, it helps strengthen my brain to combat the ADHD issues I suffer from day by day and does it in a creative way that's enjoyable. I highly recommend this app, it's great.

My family encouraged me too workout my brain muscles so I downloaded the app. I can honestly say that the beginning levels may give you the impression saying, "This is easy. What is there for the challenge?". Continue to further levels and the simplest can be beneficial and challenging and fun! I love this app! I recommend it to people who want to maintain general and common academic level. But there are memory levels, counting activity, color match, eye skill, and much more! Thanks!

As an AVM stroke survivor working on recovering,one of the hardest things is training the higher executive functions again. No one knows how to walk you through what you don't know as each brain & injury is different. I've used this app daily since trying it and it's THE most effective training I've found in the 10 years since my stroke! THANK YOU! I'll be sure to tell others that need the same.

I had brain surgery several years ago that left me with cognitive deficits. I found Luminosity online and while it's challenging, I don't much care for their "scoring". I have been looking for an app that I can use while waiting for an appointment, and this is it. I can now pass the time working on my brain rather than with mind numbing games like solitaire.

Good looking game. Seems like it might be good for kids. But you'll get many wrong in the strangely hard minigames, and it doesn't say what's right, and just makes a jarring noise instead. There is a subscription option for this app, just like most brain games, but I wouldn't reccomend it. It gives you "coins" which let you play any of the minigames you want, and from the few VIP games I played, it's not worth it. The weren't better than the free version. Go to Lumosity or Elevate.

So when I answered the setup questions I clicked every possible thing I wanted to approve on, that way I would be learning & exercising my mind in a wide variety of different ways. &Boy oh boy, I must say, it is challenging & fun at the same time! I wish they games had like 5 more seconds one the 1st round but I'm sure that's what makes it so hard! I also love that the app has an option to enable daily notifications/reminders so I don't forget to play. I love the app, the concept & the game!

Games are good at first. As per my bank statement, the free week trial auto-renews as a $39.99 year subscription, instead of the weekly subscription as would be implied. It also charged me $1.05 for the first week on top of that. What I found over time was a nearly unplayable amount of 30+ second advertisements with the free version. Two stars because some of the challenges are entertaining and engaging.

i really enjoy the challenges this app has to offer. Some are easy, some are not and that's based on your strengths and weaknesses. im hoping to improve both with this app. i like that i can access all the challenges by watching an ad. the instructions are easy to follow. the controls are so very easy, it's mainly tap and go. Everyday it's a different set of challenges that make you think as you act.

This game is really helping my TBIs recovery. Initially it increases in difficulty slowly which meets my needs. When I have challenging days, the difficulty adjusts itself well. I have used this app for about 6 months and after another TBI, I found I had to delete and reinstall to get the difficulty to a more appropriate level. I highly recommend this app to anyone with any sort of brain damage (stroke, concussion, TBI). Another recommendation I have is to say the color and shape aloud to further accelerate your brain training.

pretty fun brain games... though response times to when one physically touches an object in game tends to lag or not register real-time. leaving a bit of an inaccurate score. this occurred more with games that involved selecting moving object. also in the instructions for said memory game include in the instructions " wait till objects stop moving and then select order in which they moved first. As this seems to be what is correct but not implied or expressed. But i do really like the overall App

While on my search to find something easy enough for my friend who has early onset of dementia and hard enough for me to play along with her, I think I found it here. I like the different games and categories they use as well as go at your own pace. The graphics are colorful, big enough to see on my screen and I like that a lot of the games have circles too. Bubliness. I will probably upgrade to no ads soon. I loved that the no ad version wasn't ALL ads and hard to navigate like other games. 👍

Phenomenal game. Any Age. The past month I have been enjoying in the different types of mini games and the ability to continue the challenge with an ad. This game is to maintain or even improve your intelligence quotient for their mini scenarios. For example: Mini game: neighborhood watch Is a series of individuals moving from point to point. At first you memorize the paths knowing the individual's start and end points, later it gets more difficult and you would have to simplify their paths.

I like the games and the system. However, the application does not save my streak progress and sometimes even my game progress. The only point of this for me is to track everything; otherwise I could have just found similar flash games and played those instead of paying $10 for a lifetime membership. For example, I got to level 8 on the Neighborhood Watch game and it now says I'm still on level 1 and shows no stats on it.

Unfortunately, if you play the free version long enough, listening to the ads to unlock the full training options, eventually it simply refuses to connect to those videos. I was considering buying it (I reject subscription models), but hadn't explored all the games and made up my mind yet. I've just installed it on a new device(#4) , and if I can finish looking it over before that nonsense starts up again, still may.

I think it's a great work in progress. Could use better visuals / and higher definition graphics as it feels its an app made for a smartphone from 2012. Could also use much less ads. I feel as though itd be much easier to make a premium version than to run ads all the time, suddenly, with no way to close out of them to all users. It can be very annoying. On the bright side, I definitely feel as though it picked at my brain and the games were simple yet you can see how they would correlate to day to day things and feel the works of muscle / neurological memory and reflexes.

Great game, lots of minigames to choose from and play. However during one game 'The Wrong Way', I ran into a bug that was pretty annoying and I was able to reproduce how it comes about. When you choose the wrong answer but continue to tap on the screen, the game just freezes. I can try to pause and unpause but I just have to end up restarting my game to fix it. Hope this helps.

Besides the amt of time that it sometimes takes to load, I love this game. I'm addicted. I also have a brain injury that caused memory loss and problems with my vision. This app is like therapy to me and I've recommended It to all of my therapists. The graphics are simple, not cheesy, and the duration of each game is long enough so you dont get inpatient or bored. I've tried several others but the graphics are either too busy, cost too much, or games are too short. This suits my brain just right
