I still don’t think it’s a bad app though, but they need to lower the monthly price. ### 3/5 — Too costly *2026-10-14* Add a free version with ads maybe, like Duolingo ### 3/5 — Is Derdle gone ? *2026-10-13* I can’t find derdle after the new update :( ### 4/5 — 4.5 stars *2026-10-03* My only complaint so far is that the videos aren’t for everyone and anyone if they would fix that then I would give it 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Bug *2026-10-01* I play this on mobile so when a question answer is for example 22/3 I literally cannot write it because the / is not available and I cannot use my phones keyword so even if I know the answer the game will still say it’s from because I’m not using the / ### 4/5 — Brain blast *2026-09-29* I really do like brain blast, but I feel like it should need a little bit more updated. I was trying to use it on my iPad with my Apple Pencil and there is a couple times where the app wouldn’t even pick up with my pencil. it would load very slow and sometimes I’ll get frustrated for not being able to write down my problems. If you can fix that problem, I will really appreciate it. ### 3/5 — It is okay *2026-09-23* This app expects you to do multiple lessons a day and I would love to, but the energy runs out fast and refills slow with little to no lessons. The app has English questions and I guess is good for getting used to the questions but for harder questions I recommend blue book or college board. Which can go off previous SAT scores. The app does make you want to learn with the bright color and rewards. ### 4/5 — Create macOS or android app and set prices according to the country. *2026-09-19* Please launch an Android and macOS app because I can't use my mom's iPhone every time I want to use the app(AT LEAST AN MAC APP) and one more thing that I live in India and the subscription cost is a little expensive for me not super expensive but yes it is a little expensive so can u please adjust the subscription cost according to the spending power of an average person of the specific country, for example in India people don't have much spending power (even though I can afford it not many other people can afford it here) so make it a little more affordable so more students would think of giving this app a chance, this would even increase more users of your app which would increase your business.😊 ### 3/5 — Good *2026-09-16* I will keep using it, but there are 2 factors that make it way worse than the potential it has. 1. It is exactly like Duolingo, which I’m not against; its the fact that it has the bad animations and the AI assets which makes it feel like budget Duolingo. Why does that matter? Every day, I have to force my self to see the budget and bad animations to do the SAT math, which is pretty good. 2. The ads are very embarrassing. Do NOT pull this out and have the volume on in public. I will never use this app EVER in public, it is an embarrassment. But other than those 2 parts, its pretty good. I do have my eyes on another SAT app which looks pretty nice though… pretty sure its called PrepForge. It seems way more well designed than this AI slop. Please hire some better devs and stop either using codex or the discord mod devs. ### 3/5 — Energy *2026-09-05* This is a really good game but I just don’t like the energy feature. I want to learn but it’s interrupted due to low energy. ### 3/5 — Ok at best *2026-08-24* Started using this app around mid June to prepare for the August SAT, and it hardly helped raise my score. It’s advertised as a daily practice tool but in reality you can only do 1-2 lesson per day before you run out of energy, while being expected to do 10-15 to reach your desired score. Because of that, I think this app is incredibly misleading for beginner SAT takers because it advertises itself as an all-in-one SAT study tool when in reality it’s more like an app that lets you grind questions if you’re bored. If you’re a beginner, I’d just stick to normal SAT studying strats, don’t rely on this. ### 4/5 — Good but…. *2026-08-23* It would be good if they don’t continue copying Duolingo ### 3/5 — NEEDS DARK MODE *2026-08-22, version 1.6.1* NEEDS A DARK MODE ### 4/5 — review *2026-08-17* feels like Duolingo, but with math ### 4/5 — 👍 *2026-08-17* Some bugs here and there but pretty good app🥹 ### 2/5 — Energy problem *2026-08-11* This is a very helpful app! However there simply isn’t enough energy to do enough problems in a day to get sufficient practice without the premium feature. This makes the game have virtually no effect in improving your SAT score. ### 4/5 — Great app, don’t like the new update *2026-08-11* I want to confirm my answer! Let me click an answer temporarily! I hate that a misclick can ruin my score on a lesson ### 4/5 — Very good but the energy needs to be more *2026-08-07* So if I can give like 4.5 I will but it is a rlly good app fun and very helpful it is just that there aren’t enough energy to finish ur goal that day and also u copied Duolingo a lot lol ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — . *2026-10-16* Why do I have to pay? I was expecting so much help ### 1/5 — Poor Duolingo rip-off *2026-08-30* This app is literally Duolingo. The only difference is the content it’s teaching and honestly, I would rather learn math from Duolingo. It’s also not fun like it advertises to be and it’s super expensive. ### 1/5 — Is Brainblast AI Slop? *2026-08-28* The fact that this looks so close to Duolingo and all the stupid ads for premium are not enough for me to think this is AI slop. However, a decent chunk of the questions in this app have factually incorrect answers. When calculating the answers for some of these questions and asking math teachers it shows that some of the “correct” answers for these questions are not correct. ### 1/5 — Exponential decay of amount of battery life *2026-08-18, version 1.6.0* When I started this app two weeks ago, I had the battery life of a Nokia doing questions because for every lesson I completed, my battery life would remain unchanged as long as I got no questions wrong. Then it transformed into for every lesson completed—which uses five battery life—I would gain back three battery life which I personally though was a great balance as it meant I could do math practice in the morning, let my battery charge, and do English in the evening. However, now this app is making me use five battery life per lesson in exchange for one battery life in return every time I complete a lesson, which made it basically impossible for me to finish my daily goals as a non-pro member. This app used to be so great as seen in those YouTube videos into a cash grab for the owner to get people to subscribe to his membership just to make the app usable. I do not recommend this app unless the energy system changes and recommend some Khan Academy prep by taking the unit test to simulate an actual SAT for any avid SAT learners. Another great option is to use the College Board SAT question bank along with the Bluebook SAT practice tests compared to this. Overall, the concept of the app is not bad, but please change to energy system to revert from the current cash grab interface. ### 1/5 — slow charging *2026-07-30, version 1.5.2* you have to wait for 15 hours for a full charge and there’s 3 free charges you need 15 charges and 3 isn’t enough to do a lesson ### 1/5 — Greedy *2026-07-08* After about 3 levels of each subject you cannot do that subject ever again until you pay like 200 dollars a year for this app where you can just download different apps. ### 1/5 — Pricey *2026-06-22* $10 a week for tools ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-06-03, version 1.3.1* It was free back in the good old days but now it costs money to use ### 1/5 — You have to pay *2026-05-30, version 1.2.8* To do anything you have to subscribe to pro which is 10$ a week. I’m in high school and barely any money the last thing I want to do is pay 10$ a week ### 1/5 — Can’t get off the “Join the pro version” screen. *2026-05-15, version 1.2.3* This app is great. But after 3 days of using it, it gave me this pop up screen to join the pro version. I can’t figure out how to get rid of this. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling but that didn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Videos *2026-09-22* Nice and easy to learn there is some videos for the questions so you can watch if you don’t understand the question. ### 5/5 — Add hard question practice *2026-09-17* Great app, I think there should be a mode that lets you try some of the absolute hardest SAT questions and gives you explanations. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-29* Very good ### 5/5 — PLEASE WORK WITH SCHOOLS *2026-08-28* I love this it’s so helpful and I think it would be very helpful for my classmates. Love it! ### 5/5 — SAT *2026-08-19* This is fun and enjoyable and a good way to have more engagement instead of just reading and finding ways to study. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2026-08-13* I helped me so much and made it engaging ### 5/5 — Duo-lingo *2026-08-11* Yeah, this is absolutely a complete rip off of Duolingo. It is literally like completely the same thing except for SAT practice. But it does work sooo… ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-08-10* Reminds me of Duolingo but for SAT would recommend ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-08-04* If you want something to fill your time with productivity and fun, Brainblast is great. ### 5/5 — Good + fun game *2026-08-03* I love this game, or app (I’ll just call it game), it’s so fun to get the questions right, although it IS quite a copy of duolingo, but I care less. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
