You just have to push buttons to move on. ### 1/5 — A little disappointed *2020-02-03, version 1.4* I know I have the correct answer but it won’t submit and says incorrect ### 1/5 — Doesn’t make sense. *2018-12-21, version 1.3* I like the idea of the game I think it’s very distinct and creative however the whole point of the application was defeated when it would make absolutely no sense. 8x1 is 8, however it isn’t according to the app. My point is the app just questions us with the easiest questions and fails to get it correct. I believe that this app should be fixed immediately as the initial idea was to enhance ones IQ, not decrease. Like I said if this was to get fixed I’m pretty sure the app’ll do good. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-11-18, version 1.5* Quite basic but it does the job, can potentially boost your IQ, unless you are like the guy who left a one star review, in which case it will decrease it, since an IQ above room temperature is required to benefit from the game. ### 4/5 — Interesting, but needs randomness *2023-02-24, version 1.5* I tried this out and thought it was fun. I even purchased the Pro version (can’t get rid of “Go Pro” though). I assumed the numbers would be entirely random. However, after doing the first level a few times, I sense that they repeat in a way that’s statistically improbable. It’s really disappointing that they aren’t random. Adding such an option would bump my review to 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Fun *2020-11-30, version 1.4* Would love to give 5 stars but occasionally would not store my new record (have only experienced so far at 2-backs) so am bummed a bit. Please debug it! :) ### 5/5 — N-back is really all you need *2024-08-13, version 1.5* I’ve found this is pretty much all you need to help sharpen your brain. Thanks to the developer for keeping this going. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-05-04, version 1.5* Really fun way to keep math and memory sharp. My only big wish would be an option to skip a trial if you get it wrong or if you dont remember the nback answer. ### 5/5 — Brain training *2022-09-01, version 1.4* This is part of my morning routine. Keeps my brain sharp and always thinking. I love this brain tool. ### 5/5 — Make sure to read instructions *2021-02-13, version 1.4* Make sure to read instructions for 2-digit answers or you will get them wrong. Great game. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best N-Back app in my book *2020-08-09, version 1.4* I used few N-back app. But, this is my favorite. It’s probably the best one in the App Store. I just wish there was way to get full version. ### 5/5 — Mind help *2020-05-04, version 1.4* Great app for building STM and helping qF. ### 5/5 — Review *2020-03-16, version 1.4* Should include division , square root and cube root apart from that great game ### 5/5 — My essential brain tool! *2019-08-20, version 1.4* This app should be used by millions of people. I’ve been playing the Mensa Brain Training app for a month, and was completely stagnant on my daily results...after using Mathematical N-back religiously for a week my scores have gone from the 600’s to mid 800’s. And I feel like that’s just the beginning. Thank you to the developer, please keep this app alive for a long time! ### 5/5 — Fun *2019-01-21, version 1.3* Smooth app and the most entertaining version I’ve played. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
