Absolutely mind boggling app

Can’t believe more people aren’t aware of the existence of this app/game. With this new era of technology, this is a breath of fresh air when referring to the use of AI. It has become an addiction (lol), and it’s quite sad that, when you try to look it up “Elo Brain game” or similarly, it does NOT show up. It’s a shame that the App Store Isn’t placing this game at the top, very much recommended.

My favorite app blocker

***Changing my rating again because they’ve brought back all the original features. Very much appreciated.


**Changing my rating because it seems the developers have decided to remove all the best features and just make it a book summary app. That’s really unfortunate. I really loved this app before the update and I wish I wouldn’t have updated. I wish them the best but this is no longer an app I want.


I’ve tried other app blockers in the past. And they were either too easy to bypass or I’d be left bored when I needed a little dopamine hit. This one is great because you can play little games or get summaries of books so I spend like 10 minutes playing/reading then I feel ready to go back to normal life instead of doomscrolling for long periods of time. It’s a very good app.

Much Needed

Working with AI chats have turned my mind into mush. Playing with Elo was relaxing and so much fun. Love their throwback games. It has helped me stay focused and the levels changing appropriately keeping me engaged while not getting frustrating quickly. Look forward to seeing what other games pop up

Brain Games

I previously gave it 5 stars because I LOVED the brain training games but when I opened the app yesterday they completely did away with that portion of the app 😢 please
bring them back!!!

The App Changed

I originally downloaded this app for the app blocking capabilities, while still being able to learn new stuff. I was on Level 64, and enjoyed using the app! But I go to use it today, and find that I am back at level 1, and the games are no longer available, nor are the books I was reading. Has the app changed purposes unexpectedly? I would give it five stars if it could go back to its original purpose. I don't understand what the video book summaries are, and how would you level up on this?
