Stay Away!
"Wrong answers" are correct answers as revealed later. (Tho bug fix claimed) No explanations are given on the thinking process. Learn nothing here
Poorly designed
Terrible design for an app.
Frustrating App
Entering answers in this app is frustrating! As an example if the answer to a problem is 3, sometimes it will accept the number and other times it wants “Three”. Very frustrating.
How irritating!
This should have been such a good app. The questions were engaging and ranged to suit all levels. However, I can’t believe they didn’t fix the really basic app functionality that wrongly marks correct answers, leaving your with a Red Mark. The sequence 80 40 20 10 ends in 5, not “five”, please! Lots of errors like this make it look like no one at Mensa has checked it.

Stupid and useless
One question a day aimed towards 10 year olds
Incorrect answers
I’m on day two, and the answer to question two is incorrect. The answer should be 290, not 390, since 0=150, £=100, and X=20. Not worth playing further...
Terrible App
I have the same issues with this app as most other have mentioned. Either exact input is required or you are told your answer is wrong. And the question regarding the train travelling through the tunnel has an answer that is incorrect! Don’t waste your time trying it as you will only get frustrated instead of testing your mental dexterity.

Great app terrible input.
As others have said the need to answer exactly as the developer decided is what kills this. Specially as the answer to q3 is apparently one hour 5 minutes... Mensa... mixing 2 different forms of number input in one question? Methinks this is “unofficial”
Useless and silly
They ask these questions and then when they show the answer there’s no explanation. So you learn nothing if you don’t know the answer. Or how the question is formed. Completely useless do not get this application until they fix it.
Poor
When you input the correct answer sometimes it says it’s wrong when it is clearly correct as it’s the same answer as the revealed answer. For an app claiming to be MENSA standard it’s laughable.😂😂😘
Don’t bother loading this
They say they fixed bugs to show correct answers when not typed exactly but they haven’t. I had the correct 3 words but not in the exact same order they did so it was “wrong”. Sorry, obviously not written by someone with a Mensa level IQ.
Poor
This is a terrible app. Not worth the time. Just had a simple number sequence, the answer was 5 it wouldn’t accept that or 05 it required you to write the number ‘five’ as a string.
Inflexibility of documenting answers
This is not an app I would be proud of if I was the computer programmer behind it. It can’t even recognise that 5 is the same as five
Units please
Would be helpful to know what the expected units are for the answer. Usually work things out as a decimal but often the answer is not!
Dumb app, tests your patience not intelligence
Just to give an example of how stupid this app is, what’s the next number in this series 80, 40, 20,10. Well you would be right in saying that it’s 5 but in the parallel universe inhabited by the designers of this app it’s “five”. There are other examples where the questions are easy but you stand no chance of getting them right because you have to match the ludicrous answers given. I would definitely give this app a miss.

The input needs some work
I think the app is great! But the text area in which you type the answer only takes one specific answer, and it has to be entered in that specific way. If not, then you get It wrong. Could you work on the boundaries so that “Five” or 5 could be entered, or “twenty-six”, “twenty six and 26 please? Thanks!

More flexibility in answers!
Great questions, more flexibility in answers accepted.. eg 1/8th, 0.125, one eighth, units no units? Etc.
Explanation would be good too!
Explanation would be good too!
Needs some improvement
I’m enjoying this App but it’s very annoying when you add the correct answer but it doesn’t recognise it. For example, the three sports need to be written in the correct order.
Skip this app
Horrible app. All answers must be written exactly as the programmers wrote them with no deviations. For example
An answer of "1 hour and 5 minutes" was wrong because it had to be written as "one hour and 5 minutes" (which in itself is ridiculous as it uses the written number one and the numerical value of 5 showing a lack of consistency)
This problem will continue to plague you unless the answer consists of one word only. My advice would be to skip this app and try some of the other wonderful Mensa apps available in the App Store.

Not Mensa
This can't have anything to do with Mensa. You get a daily problem and within the first dozen or so a few have been ambiguous and the questions are often written with poor grammar. Here's an example of a ridiculous question that prompted me to delete the app:
"For breakfast five people have bacon, seven have sausage and 10 have cornflakes, how many have toast?"
Yes, the commas are included/missing as originally written.
Rated at the highest difficulty rating, you have to wonder if it's because of the horribly worded sentence. You can't convince me that there is enough info there to answer that question.
Another math question asked to find an answer in minutes but when it ended up as a number with a decimal I put down the entire answer and was marked wrong because I didn't round to the nearest whole number. Fractions of a minute do have a direct correlation to a unit of measurement called seconds.
This app has nothing to do with intelligence or building someone's reasoning skills. At least I didn't lose any money but all the same, someone is scamming the Mensa name to try to get downloads.
