  • Extremely Helpful!

    I love this app. It’s ease of use is a bonus. Initially, I didn’t know how to play but easily found all settings and detailed instructions/videos in the profile section.

    I’ve noticed a vast improvement in my working memory since beginning this app. I’ve tried other Dual N-Back apps but none compare.

    I’m grateful.
  • Simple and works

    Excellent. Love that they didn’t put a lot of bloat into this. It’s well designed, works great, and very configurable.

  • Devlishly tricky. Check out the other apps made by this guy. He's a bro

    I can feel my brain being broken down and reformed into a tougher wad of neurons

  • Buggy is an understatement

    Tried to open the game and can’t get any further than the introduction.

    Hi Pe only, Thanks for the feedback! And sorry that you have a hard time understanding the rules of the game - better help for getting started is on the roadmap. Best, Dual N-Back
  • Needs clear instructions

    Couldn’t for the life of me figure out what I was supposed to do. Sat there seeing random blocks light up with letters stated forever, wondering if I was supposed to be doing something. Literally no menu option to get instructions.
  • Does what it’s supposed to do

    I used to use Brain Workshop on Mac but it stopped working on Catalina. This is a great replacement and the best one I’ve seen on iOS

    Customizable within limits. No ads. You do have to pay to get beyond 4-back, but it’s unreasonable to expect people to make apps for free and it’s $8 a year, which I think is reasonable.
  • Nice substitute of daily useless entertainment

    Never waste time on other useless amusement anymore, getting smarter everyday.
  • Great but buggy

    Updated:
    Great app, what I was referring to before is a feature I found out you can disable when you want. That way you can practice without distractions first and then add them in for another level of difficulty. Brilliant! 5 stars

    Previous review:
    I’m using the iPhone SE and for some reason the app will click itself randomly during a session even if I don’t have my fingers near the screen. Sometimes it clicks itself once here and there, other times it will do so for five turns straight. Obviously, this breaks my concentration and I cancel out of the session. This is frustrating when trying to level up since you are so focused on memorizing more than you are used to and then having to deal with this particular bug throws a huge wrench in the whole experience. If this bug were fixed, I’d pay for the app.

    Hi LGP980, Thanks for the feedback! For sure that sounds frustrating. Could you send a message via the support section in the app then we can help you figure it out? It means a lot. Thanks, Jens
  • It works!

    Definitely recommend to people who are trying to increase their fluid intelligence
  • No-Back

    As a complete beginner to this game I was totally confused about how to play it. I looked for tutorials and only found a paragraph that was not useful. There was no tutorial or explanation about how to use the mechanics in the game. I wanted to like the game because it was supposed to be helpful but it just made me angry and frustrated. I found another Dual N- Back game by a different developer which had a great explanation and a tutorial. Skip this one if you’re a beginner.

    Hi TM~01, Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear that you had a frustrating start. Better onboarding and more gentle introduction is something we are working on and we hope to see you back one day. Best, Jens
