Also it doesn’t matter which game I play. I’m not sure how accurate the app is but the games are fun and I do believe they may help with brain health. However, they may also be training you to feel like you’re not doing enough to keep using the app and continue paying for it. So beware! ### 5/5 — TBI *2024-12-03, version 3.16.11* As someone who has had several TBIs. This has helped me positively with my mental health and memory. This helps along with proper sleep and supplements. ### 5/5 — Better than all other brain app on the market atm *2024-10-24, version 3.16.8* I find this app much better than all the other brain app I have tried and so far I have 6 on my phone. No ads !!! Literally no ads ! There is very interesting games. There is also puzzles and tests. Plus meditation. I think the developer did an extremely good job with the UI and the experience is pleasant. I’ll be purchasing the full app just because I want to encourage this kind of applications. ### 5/5 — Svetlana *2024-08-19, version 3.16.4* I really enjoy using this app! It boosts your cognitive skills while also being super entertaining. It's so much fun to compete against yourself and try to beat your previous scores. It's a fantastic way to sharpen your mind and have a good time at the same time! ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2024-08-19, version 3.16.4* I often find myself struggling to remember people's names. I experimented with several 'memory apps,' but Brainwell stood out as the best option. It's engaging, user-friendly, and after only a few sessions, I've genuinely noticed an improvement. This app definitely deserves a round of applause! ### 5/5 — Great *2024-08-12, version 3.16.4* This is amazing ### 5/5 — 😅 *2024-08-09, version 3.16.4* I absolutely love this app! The daily challenges have really helped me improve my focus. The games are not only educational but also entertaining. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-08-07, version 3.16.3* This is the best brain training app I have ever used! It has a ready-made daily training program, and if I want to play a particular game, I can choose from an extensive catalog of games. ### 3/5 — It’s good, but also a lot of problems *2024-07-30, version 3.16.3* SO BASICALLY YOU ONLY HAVE 3 NEW GAMES AND THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE AND THOSE GAMES ARE THE ONLY GAMES THAT ARE FREE SO WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY GAMES THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR SO FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DON’T OKAY BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SO BAD . ### 5/5 — Update my brain *2023-09-02, version 3.15.1* A very pleasant game, very well implemented, and teaches English. Develop your abilities ### 3/5 — Slow load, some wonky admin *2023-04-15, version 3.15.1* App is very slow to load on my iPad. I have to close it and reopen it daily as it doesn’t know to move from day to day. I loaded the app also on my iPhone and logged in but it doesn’t see that I purchased the premium account on that device and I get ads. The games work well and I’ve seen good progress but there are sloppy things with the admin of this app that have me thinking of dropping it and switching to a competitor when my annual subscription runs out. FWIW I paid $99 for the annual fee and now I see they are selling it for as low as $25. That’s maddening. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Brain training *2026-02-03, version 3.16.18* Sounds more like brain draining. Too slow. And the challenges are more the structure behind the game not the actual gameplay. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-30, version 3.16.18* This is a scam they do not have a working phone number or an email or any way to get in touch with them. They charge your card every single day $9.99 and if it’s attached to your Apple Pay, then nobody can help you until you actually dispute and complain and that takes a while. It’s so disappointing that this app is still up. ### 1/5 — Abbonamento *2025-08-18, version 3.16.18* Questa app è una truffa! Ho pagato l’abbonamento, ma nonostante il pagamento continuo ad avere solo le funzioni del piano gratuito. Non mi danno l’accesso alle funzionalità complete che ho acquistato. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-03-08* Pls don’t download.. it’s a scam. After paying 800 per week the game allows only matchmaker. Matching objects. All other activities can’t be unlocked.. asking for more money **Developer response:** Hello, this is not correct. If you are having a technical issue, please send us a support email by using the Contact Us button from the Profile screen in the app. ### 1/5 — Waaaay too many ads *2024-04-29, version 3.15.3* There are way too many ads for mediocre games. There is at least 30 second plus ads before and after every game which is probitive to am enjoyable experience. There are much better options out there to make this one worthwhile. Way too expensive. Cost is u reasonable. ### 1/5 — Shades and shapes . Please reply. *2024-01-30, version 3.15.0* The sequence of 9 shapes and colors is way too difficult as I am just starting with this game. In the few weeks that I have been playing, my only growth is my frustration! Not sure if this can be adjusted , but thought I’d ask. Please ADDRESS THIS! DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY READ THESE. IF SO, PLEASE RESPOND ! ### 1/5 — Problem *2023-09-20, version 3.15.1* I pay a lot of money to use this app and it hasn’t worked in a week. Is it going to get fixed so I can use it. if it’s not gonna work, I want my money back. You can prorate what I earn back. But I really prefer to use the app if you can fix it. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-04-15, version 3.15.1* You have to watch a minutes worth of ads before you can play a game. I guess you can pay to avoid this but I’d like to try it first. Super annoying. ### 1/5 — Game rewrite *2022-11-21, version 3.12.0* The new game version does not work right. Can get 100% correct and it still says that I can do better. Grading no longer makes sense! Do not waste your money with this one. The old version was fun and made sense. The rewrite does not work. ### 1/5 — Level of games *2022-07-30, version 3.6.0* I find it very frustrating not to be able to choose the level of the game I play. Certain games are not just mechanical ( speed, concentration, memory) but actually requires thinking of solutions. To be confronted with elementary versions (as is the case, apparently, since the new update) with Latin squares (for instance) is so off- putting, I will definitely not renew my subscription. One should be able to choose the level of difficulty and skip steps mastered in the past at will. It should also be possible to return to lower levels if one hasn’t played for some time— in order to get ‘fit’ for a game again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun Training is Good! *2026-08-13, version 3.16.18* Always good to challenge your brain and test yourself. Do this everyday and you might feel better about your reactions, memory and confidence. ### 5/5 — Best activities ever♥️ *2026-05-14, version 3.16.18* ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😁✅🫶🥰 ### 5/5 — LOVE!! *2026-04-20, version 3.16.18* Great way to occupy myself before bed while feeling productive◡̈ I did the free version for a bit and ended up liking it so much I paid for the rest of the games I love the mental challenge posed as gameplay makes my brain more interested lol ### 5/5 — BRAINWELL *2026-03-05, version 3.16.18* I like it a lot. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App!! *2025-10-15, version 3.16.18* I love these games! Although I have played many variations of the same games on other brain training apps, this app makes it the most fun and more challenging. I don’t have anything bad to say except there are a couple of games that just bore me after a while. That’s why I like that you can swap to a different game. I also love the in-depth explanations (with citations!) Highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-10-03, version 3.16.18* I’m 82 years old and I think it really challenges my brain! I like it also bc it doesn’t take a long time to do each game and if you want to do more games after you finish the 5 , you can!! ### 5/5 — Enjoying *2025-06-09, version 3.16.16* Challenging ### 5/5 — Brainwell *2025-05-09, version 3.16.16* Awesome ### 5/5 — Much better. *2025-03-30, version 3.16.15* I used this game a couple of years ago, found it a bit glitchy, sometimes a bit frustrating. I just came across it again in a folder and gave it another go. 1. The game plays better, including the one where you drag and drop the game pieces. 2. The price is now such that it is a great value. 3. The scoring does seem off, but who really cares? The game itself, the brain strain is the thing, not the scoring. As I’m playing the games, I know that I’m either doing well, or not. Along with Wordle, Sudoku, Free Cell, and a word search, my old brain gets a workout every day. So, for this 67 year old, it’s a five star rating! ### 5/5 — Sideways *2025-03-16, version 3.16.15* I enjoy this app very much, BUT I find it annoying on my iPad because it doesn’t go to landscape. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
