It’s a great app with great power
This review is a long time coming. I’ve been using this app since the beginning. I believe it’s almost been 10 years since I signed up. I was really consistent early on in my younger years and always felt sharp. The joy of setting new high scores and increasing my EPQ was a great motivator. I have always been on the free plan but have managed to become an Elite in all levels. Also, I’m proud to say that on average I am in the 98th percentile of players in all five areas. I put the app down for awhile and have been on and off for the past couple years. However, lately I have been feeling my mind is feeling “foggy” especially with my spatial memory. I’ve also feel a small “lack of cognition.” This app has helped me refresh my mind again. I plan on continuing this practice and think everyone should too. It only takes about 5-10 minutes a day. Anyone can afford that. However if your really determined you may find yourself playing for hours. The training has made lasting impacts on my brain though. I amaze my wife when I can recall some of our oldest memories like they were yesterday. My photographic memory still works too but it’s not as good when I was first starting out. I truly believe this app has changed my mind in many different ways and incorporating it into a daily routine will pay good dividends now and well into old age.Show lessAmazing app with alot of potential
Ive been on a bit of trend where I dedicate my free time to education apps such as elevate, duolingo, and alter ego. All great programs that regularly improve me in big ways. I recommend this app 10/10 but wanted to write this review to request an update from the developers.
My biggest hindrance in using this app is that there is no one form of streak preservation which is unfortunate. I would love to see this app adopt the due lingo model of offering incentives to keep learning such as streak freezes or special unlocks that motivate you to continue progression.
I live a very busy life and sometimes can’t get to the app within the day, I would LOVE to be able to earn streak freezes as a backup to continue learning once I free up once again. I had something like a 60 day streak when I got tied up one day and completely lost my progress tracking. It really bummed me out and discouraged me from wanting to keep a streak at all seeing how easy it was to lose over a fluke. If this could be amended the app would be perfect! 💯Show lessNOT a waste of time
I normally don't bother with this type of app. I am an engineer with a good reputation for hard skills. A leader in multitasking and project organization often assigned special tasks by corporate leadership outside my traditional roles. So I was figuring, quite arrogantly, I must have it in one sock pretty well. Thing is… no matter how good you are there will always be these two irrefutable truths: 1) There will always be areas you are weaker, if not flat out awful at. 2) The only way you stay good, or get better is by training. There is ALWAYS some benifit to be found in every training opportunity.
This app nails these two nuances. It finds where you are weaker then it gives you training content to improve, while stretching you where you are strong to keep you sharp.
If you are wondering still if its worth it, it is. You will blow $40 on an XBOX game module or 4x that on a set of earbuds that work the same as the ones you already have. Spend that $40 on something that makes you more valuable to others and your self. Give it a try, stick with it, watch yourself improve.Show less
