User Reviews

User reviews show a mix of positives and notable recurring issues. Pros center on the brain-training concept and a usable free tier. Cons that recur across multiple reviews include accessibility barriers for color vision, unclear or fast feedback/instructions, subscription/payments friction, lack of progress metrics, and visual pacing that can be uncomfortable or unreliable. Addressing accessibility, clarity, and a clearer progression/measurement system could improve overall satisfaction.

Pros

Strong brain-training concept with challenging exercises that many users feel could be beneficial.
Free version and daily free exercises allow trying the app before subscribing.
Some users find the exercises engaging and worthwhile despite the issues.

Cons

Accessibility issues: color-vision/color-distinguishing challenges are common and colorblind options don’t adequately help.
Instructions and feedback readability: instructions can be ambiguous or hard to follow, and feedback or audio can be rapid or unclear.
Pricing and subscription friction: signup/payments often feel cumbersome, with mentions of web-based purchases, cancellation difficulties, and perceived high costs.
Lack of progress tracking: there are no clear scores, metrics, or progress comparisons over time, which makes it hard to gauge improvement.
Pace, visuals, and reliability: graphics can flash or move too quickly, causing eye strain, and some games don’t load or work reliably.

Recent reviews

Nice app with solid content and harder levels as you improve. You have to pay more money to access your own data and how exactly you are improving. All the app gives you are silly stars and meaningless pictures when you pass a game or level. Who know where they sell your results.
