Flawed algorithm
Unfortunately the app doesn’t allow you to pass onto 3-back before paying. I did make the mistake of paying and found out that the algorithm is flawed. Apparently once a square lights up, the chances of it activating again are much bigger than 1/9, which makes the experience so much worse.
Really Good Product, Known to Work, Needs* Subscription
First of all, N-Back wasn’t created by this app and its developers, it was made by some scientists who were trying to measure short-term memory an attention. Second, this team proved that the N-Back test can improve short-term memory and focus through repeated tests. Third and finally, while this app is free, it only goes up to the second level, limiting how far you can improve.

Can’t export data
I can’t export data. Why?

Odd…
It said that I reached level 3 (the max on the free tier) even though I never played it lol
Poor functionality and statistics
Love the game, but every-time I accidentally slightly miss a button, it stops the game. Very frustrating. Also the user statistics is just not really helpful at all
Great game
Thanks for the level-up
Thanks for the free version
ad free & works
Subscription based
subscription based way to play your mobile game for memory is crazy kick rocks
No E-Mail Reply From Developer
I upgraded to the Pro Version but the app still says I need to upgrade. I really like the app, but for me to be able to benefit from it, I need some of the pro features. I emailed the developer twice for help but never received a reply.
Trash
No explanation no information about how to actually play and use the app. Terrible app
Feedback
Overall great app that’s highly configurable. There seems to be a bug: if you decrease the time to the max and the interval speed the final score/feedback doesn’t account for these settings. Also, it’d be great if something like a check mark or “X” were used for when screens are set to greyscale (maybe even for colorblindness?).

Effective Mental Exercise
This app is a useful tool for training memory and mental processing speed although it is definitely frustrating and difficult at first.
Sucks
Not user friendly. Makes it sound like it’s the most simple thing in the world, then I can’t seem to do anything when the game begins. Garbage
Buggy
The app does not seem to correctly register the clicks I make. Usually 1-2 times per round it indicates I’ve clicked position or sound and I have not. Even if it’s N=1 and I know the answer is not correct.
Only 2 levels for fee
Says level 3 is the maximum for the free tier, but it actually won’t allow you to play level 3. A monthly sub to go higher than 2 is kind of crazy.
Stop button too easy to hit
An otherwise well-designed app is fatally flawed with a stop button in the middle of the screen that’s too easy to hit accidentally, suddenly and frustratingingly ending an attempt. Either add a confirmation or move the button to a top corner.
Locked behind a paywall
It’s a good interface until you reach level four, which is locked behind a paywall. Levels two and three are very good, but considering there are so many free apps that do the same thing it’s just not worth it.
It’s great! Just…
I just wish I was able to increase the length up to 30mins! From what I can tell, most efficacy was found in this time range in studies. Increases the challenge. Obviously you can do lots of little 2min sessions. But would be cool to do continuous. But great app otherwise, thanks so much! Ad-free, it seems :) 🙏

No sound
Sound does not play on this app when checking my sound settings it’s at 100.
