Found QuadNBacl
After looking for QuadNBack application for apple devices I have found what I was looking for. Worth every penny.
My favorite Dual N-Back game
All the customization I was looking for, big bonus that I can try Tri or Quad N-back. Ive tried 10+ dual n-back apps on iphone / android and this is the one I recommend to everybody
Can’t hear sound
Why can’t hear any of the sound? Please fix this quickly.
Awesome n back trainer
As far as n back options for ios go, this is the best I have found so far. My only complaint so far is it took a while to learn the labels... visual apparently referred to position which was confusing.
Great dual n-back app
Exactly what I was looking for. Works flawlessly. Thanks for making such a useful app!
Good, but...
I like this app, it serves the purpose. However it would be nice if you could export the log in a more friendly format like a graph or excel file instead of tsv.
Best n-back
Very configurable.
The truest Dual N'Back App
A bit costly, but it's the best Dual N'Back app on the market
Useful, but lacking in interface
The core functionality of this app is great. I have only one complaint, and it is the fact that the center square of the grid is taken up by a large number indicating which n-back your are using. The indicator could easily be put somewhere else, so that the center tile could be used for the visual sequence.
The logging is a little clumsy because instead of making a graph for you, it gives you the raw data in tab-delimited form, and there is a large amount of data to sift through. The inclusion of stats on the bottom of the screen really bother me because I see the numbers changing in my peripheral vision while the app is running a test, and I end up looking back and forth to the grid and the stats to see how I'm doing.
My last complaint is about the most recent update. Yes, it's good to see that the author is keeping the app updated, but I really question the utility of ear training in an n-back app. As a musician, I see very little to be gained from trying to memorize tones. More benefit is gained by listening to chords and intervals. There are quite a few exercises included in this app that I see little use for, and would rather see the author spend the effort on improving the interface.
tl;dr - has potential, but effort spent on making new exercises would best be spent improving the interface

Won't work
Everything but the audio works on this app. Which is like half of the whole point.
Best nback there is
Bought this app and rated 5stars to support continued development. This is the best mback app out there currently with the most customization. Ugly and clumsy interface however.
Better than any of the other ones...
Might be good for your brain but it's about as fun and exciting as watching paint dry. It is better than any of the other nback games I've tried but that's not saying much.
Good but I like the lite version better
The controls are better on the Light version because you can press the audio and video buttons with your thumbs. With the pro version the vision button is indented from the right margin which makes it seem unbalanced and requires me to keep looking at the buttons rather than the screen. I don't like the x and check popping up on the screen in either version. I think their should be some kind of user control for those cues, like a menu that allows for making them bigger/smaller and let's you cut them off entirely. They are a visual distraction as they are, I lose my rhythm when I stop to think about them (particularly if they are xs :))
I do think this helps me think more clearly and concentrate on the task at hand. It is not possible for me to do when distracted though.

Error in Volume of Center Channel
This app is exceptional for allowing dual training via audio, with one stimuli being the spoken name of a letter of the alphabet, and the other being its spatial location. Unfortunately, the center channel plays twice as loudly as the others, because the app generates it by playing the left and right channels together, without reducing each of their volumes in half. Beyond the discomfort, the inconsistency is a special clue that the center channel has played, distorting and reducing the training's effectiveness. It's an easy fix. Hope for an update.
The interface is serviceable but awkward, with too many buttons all in the wrong places. The four buttons Audio, Visual, Position, and Color need to be repositioned on a 2x2 grid like this:
Position Color
Audio Visual
Then the ordinary controls of a Dual N-Back game would be on the bottom row, with the special controls Better Brain introduces in a new row each above their corollary. This logical placement would also allow larger buttons, altogether affording easy, intuitive operation. Feedback should also move to these buttons; they might pulse green for correct responses and red for errors. The buttons Start, Settings, and Export should be moved to a separate screen (with a small Done added to allow quitting during a game).
Still, I really like better Brain. Dual-channel audio only is just what I need. This is a five-star idea currently with a two-star interface, so it earns three stars for now. Good and worth getting, but begs improvement.

Garbage!!!! Will not load at all!!!!
won't work...app dead or broken
Terrible reports
So much potential however the game stops on all iPhone alerts and all points are lost. I can hardly finish a single game because i get a lot of alerts. Reporting is really bad also. IQ Training at least shows a graph. That would be the best N-Back game if they had better feedback and accumulated scores. Accumulating scores over time rewards the player for mor play time. That would be a great bonus.
