Awesome app

Great app to show people how challenging small tasks can be for someone with dementia, only thing i would say is the app is very glitchy at the moment, hopefully a few updates will work that out. Otherwise great job!

Insightful

This was an eye opener of an app. It made me realise what life was like for both of my biological grandmothers and my step grandmother who all sadly had dementia and are now deceased. Thank you to the developers for making an app that increases awareness. It could be viewed as a bit upsetting but sometimes you have to tell it as it is. So I’m glad this app is available and the fact it’s completely free and doesn’t have ads is much better.
