Immediately logged on started a new account and purchased the full version and I can confidently say that I enjoy this game so much. I love Mensa. Thank you for not bombarding me with ads even during my free trial. That is one of the biggest motivating factors to actually pull the trigger purchase, not to mention $.67 a month is an amazing deal! Thank you! ### 2/5 — Becoming unchallenging - doesn't scale difficulty *2024-08-09, version 1.3.3* Can you make a switch for a harder mode? Or can it gradually increase difficulty? It always starts super low and doesnt work well on gradual growth through it's limited plays stages like "Square Sequences". Also it's frustrating that if I mess up once it sets the challenge-level back to beginner. Like I'm an idiot. It's not balanced right to encourage good growth in it's community even tho these games are fantastic. Can we fix this? ### 1/5 — Misleading Con *2024-07-23, version 1.3.3* Tries to trick you into allowing your email address to be spammed. The puzzles and all content looks like someone spent 5 minutes to piggy back on Mensa brand to con people out of their money and email addresses/ Highly unlikely to be an official Mensa product. If so shame on them. Beyond awful - actually dishonest and should be removed from the App Store. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2024-07-19, version 1.3.3* Wish they make more different ones. I have ADHD and for Memory, Concentration and perception is amazing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — La última actualización fue en el Pleistoceno *2026-03-29, version 1.3.3* La actualizaron por última vez allá por el Pleistoceno🤦🏾‍♀️ Igual para ser de pago deberían dejarse caer actualizaciones más recientes. El juego se cuelga muchísimo y si tienes un CI alto se te queda corto en 3 días 🤦🏾‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Complaining against repeated ask for subscription while I’m already subscribed for one year at INR79 *2025-10-17* It’s extremely unprofessional and disappointing to understand that this app does not provide any customer support and charges within 3 months of payment! Can anyone help in this regard? ### 1/5 — No support *2025-08-20, version 1.3.3* Support email address bounces. Not acceptable when we have paid subscription. ### 1/5 — the app stopped working *2025-07-03, version 1.3.3* I think perhaps this app is no longer supported which is a shame ### 1/5 — App Activation *2025-06-19, version 1.3.3* I paid my subscription a week ago and my product still has not been activated. Support emails sent from the app is returned undelivered. There is no way of contacting them. Very disappointing since this product was recommended by my neurologist ### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up *2025-04-11, version 1.3.3* How good is an app created by people who don’t know about internet standards and top level domain names introduced 7 years ago??? Pathetic. ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-03-29, version 1.3.3* Unfortunately this app has taken my subscription and remains locked. I tried to contact support but nope. Very disappointed 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2025-03-15, version 1.3.3* I paid for the account and now cannot login. When I click forgot password and enter my email address, I am told there is an error. Please advise because it’s otherwise a great app. ### 1/5 — No Support *2024-11-10, version 1.3.3* I paid my year membership and a few days later I can’t log in. I can’t reset my password either. I’ve written to the developers and no response. A waste of money! ### 1/5 — So distracting *2024-08-22, version 1.3.3* You can’t turn the sound off. I can’t focus! Definitely not friendly to neurodivergent folks! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent customer service *2026-05-28, version 1.3.3* I’ve always loved this app and used it regularly. I took a break from it as I had a busy few weeks and then couldn’t sign back in. Customer service was amazing at helping me to get back on the app! So happy to doing my brain training again. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Not Mensa anymore & discontinued ?? *2026-05-07, version 1.3.3* Not Mensa anymore and this app doesn’t work?? believe it’s discontinued ### 5/5 — good *2026-03-14* trains your perception ### 5/5 — Top trénink mozku *2026-02-02, version 1.3.3* Nejlepší a nejvyváženější trénink mozku. ### 5/5 — Great Brain Training App with Potential *2025-12-18* So far, this is the best game I’ve found for maintaining cognitive skills. Although it hasn’t been updated in years, it’s a strong app overall. I’d suggest adding more features and games and continuing regular enhancements. ### 5/5 — Ejercicio mental desafiante *2025-12-07, version 1.3.3* Sacude las telarañas de tu cerebro ### 5/5 — Top! *2025-10-01* Macht einfach Spaß 🙂 ### 5/5 — 🤝 *2025-06-07, version 1.3.3* Daca citesti comentariul asta si cauti modalitati prin care sa faci gimnastica intelectuala, te provoc sa incerci aplicatia asta! ### 5/5 — Hidden Gem!! *2025-05-05, version 1.3.3* I was surprised by the quality of the activities and overall content. Really solid. ### 5/5 — good *2024-12-21, version 1.3.3* muy buena aplicación me ha ayudado a mejorar la concentración gracias --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
