## What is Dyslexia Screening Test App?

Are You Dyslexic? Why Wait and Wonder? Let the Dyslexia Screening Test App from Neurolearning show you how you think and learn, and get you started on the road to a successful future.



Our Dyslexia Screening Test quickly and accurately lets users ages 7 to 70 who have not previously received intensive dyslexia-appropriate reading instruction be screened for signs of the thinking and processing traits associated with dyslexia. 



The initial app download gives users access to the following free content:
--The MIND-Strengths self-assessment surveys (for ages 7 and older), which allow users to discover their relative abilities in 4 key strengths areas associated with dyslexia
--5 short videos describing what dyslexia is and is not, common signs of dyslexia, and what our screener can do for users
--A brief pre-test to determine if you might be at risk for dyslexia
--Comments by previous users on their experience with our app

To take the dyslexia screener requires an in-app purchase of a testing slot.

The Neurolearning Dyslexia Screening Test App measures several key brain functions that underlie reading and spelling skills, and that work differently in individuals with dyslexia. It combines these measures with an assessment of current reading skills to determine the likelihood that the test user is experiencing challenges at school or work related to dyslexia. After the screening, users are provided with a detailed and individualized report of their results.     

This report includes:  
- A Total Dyslexia Score, which measures the overall likelihood that any problems they have with reading and spelling are related to dyslexia  
- Six Dyslexia Subscale Scores, which measure the key brain processing functions that underlying dyslexia-related challenges  
- Detailed and  individualized recommendations outlining steps that can be taken to improve performance and limit challenges at school or work  
- A detailed list of resources that can be used to implement the recommendations     
- Recommendations on when further professional assessment is needed

### 1/5 — WTF.

*2026-01-05, version 1.4.2*

BS.

### 1/5 — App Crashed

*2026-01-04, version 1.4.2*

I tried taking the sample test but just got an error screen

### 1/5 — Dyslexia test

*2024-07-10, version 1.4.1*

This is just an ad!  The test is $79.

### 1/5 — Costs $80 to test after they get your info

*2024-04-21, version 1.3.2*

Submitted personal info, then told its $80 for the test.  

App crashed when I tried to examine a sample test.  

Waste of time and privacy

### 1/5 — Tests didn’t work

*2024-03-18, version 1.2.9*

Tests didn’t work error message given

### 5/5 — Genial

*2024-03-02, version 1.2.7*

Es genial porque podemos enseñar mucho a los niños

### 1/5 — AVOID!!!

*2024-02-28, version 1.2.7*

Only after you sign up, which is annoying because it doesn’t recognize English, you are hit with a surprise “$80.00usd” cost to take the test…..or take 4 free surveys , which benefits the admin not the user. This app is geared for institutions or companies NOT anyone wondering if they have dyslexia! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!

### 1/5 — Screen for Dyslexia…cost $99!!!

*2023-12-28, version 1.2.7*

I downloaded this app hoping for some help in figuring out if and how dyslexic I am (pretty sure I am cause I was diagnosed by an occupational therapist at my school)😕

Anyways, I realized quickly that they wanted a bunch of money to see if I have dyslexia…a cash grab from people’s with disabilities…yea, that’s never been done before😏😏😏

Anyways I’m glad I signed up with apples “hide my email” feature, cause last thing I’d want are these greedy people to have access to my email address so they can sell it for more money🤑🤑🤑

I know no everything can be free and people work hard, especially developers…but I know this better than anyone and still think it’s a low move to not be more understanding of peoples’ hardships and stuggles…not everyone can afford to give their 7 y/o this test, and honestly they’re are trained professionals around who would charge a similar price to find out if you or your child has Dyslexia🫤

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ll probably stick with the professionals for now…at least they’re covered by my private medical plan😮‍💨

Kay, that’s what I have to say and I hope it’s helpful for people who want to give this app a try but don’t want to type their email address in just to see what the app looks like (or costs!!!)😆

### 5/5 — I love it

*2023-12-10, version 1.2.7*

I love it

### 1/5 — Beware. AFTER they have your email THEN you find out the rest you were baited with is $80

*2023-09-17, version 1.2.7*

I don’t really rate but I felt so duped I felt the need to. The name says dyslexia test but once they have your email because it’s not optional then and ONLY then do you find out that the test the free app baited you with is $79.99 and these other tests are all that’s free. 

VERY disappointed. Would never recommend to anyone. If there was an option for less than one star I would. I feel downright scammed.
