User reviews

Should be better

Nice app with solid content and harder levels as you improve. You have to pay more money to access your own data and how exactly you are improving. All the app gives you are silly stars and meaningless pictures when you pass a game or level. Who know where they sell your results.

to short free mode

i’d never pay for something like this when i can only see so little of how it works. prove you aren’t snake oil if you want a dime lol.

Good idea bad execution

No clear path and exercises seem not to progress with a clear goal. Improving cognitive functions is important but only effective if it has a strategy/path.

No phone available, unable to talk with anyone

I am highly frustrated by the inadequate service provided by this app. You are forced to pay for a subscription immediately before you can even properly test or play other games to evaluate the product. Worse yet, when you run into issues, there is no clearly visible or accessible customer support system to communicate with. The user experience feels locked behind a paywall without any safety net for troubleshooting. I am leaving this critical comment in the sincere hope that the management team and developers read this and change their restrictive model and hidden support structure.
