The interactive bit is infuriatingly patronising.I can read but find video exhausting, so I just won’t be watching any. I find the whole workout thing childish. I get my 10000 steps per day walking my dogs through a wonderful forest which is very quiet and soothing for them and for me. Of course, you will never know this because I don’t have HealthKit. And I can’t afford the exorbitant subscriptions. The mind games are okay, I suppose, but get boring pretty soon. I prefer crosswords which have more variety. All in all a work in progress, I would say. However, I shall persevere, using it eclectically, and not worrying about what the app isn’t delivering for me. I was really hoping for something that would be a MindMate helping me to micromanage my daily routines. In my 78 year I think that is what I really need in a MindMate. ### 4/5 — Too hard to get started *2024-05-28, version 7.2.1* Someone with dementia could never navigate through the setup, startup, and initial stages of the app! (Ask me how I know.) I had to do it for them. The initial “testing” is way too daunting for anyone with even mild cognitive impairment. Please make this accessible to the people who need it most. (Another person could set it up for them, but the setup module should be clearly separated from the main module, which should require NOTHING to “play.”) ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2024-01-31, version 7.2.1* For an app designed for seniors, it is shockingly INaccessible. The font is very thin and does not adapt to large print accessibility settings. The games have unclear instructions. There is no help or support ### 3/5 — Mind mate *2023-01-19, version 7.2.1* I am a PSW (Personal Support Worker ) with Alzheimer's Society. I have clients who looks forward to me pulling out my IPAD so they can start playing the games. I love to watch them and I also engage. They are of all ages and are quite fast on some games. They LOVE the colour blocks. I remind them not to look at the colour but the word. My only complaint is they don’t update the games and if not on line, which most elderly don’t have internet, hangman is only three letter word and repetitive. Please consider updating your games to encourage other PSWs to use your site. Thank you for putting out a site that engages and intrigues those with this disease 💙 ### 3/5 — App is ok *2022-04-20, version 7.2.1* App is ok. But when you set up, it tells you to indicate any health conditions. So I put that I am Type 2 diabetic. But they they recipes gives sugar filled recipe. Not appropriate for my health condition. Recipes could be better suited to health conditions. ### 3/5 — The feedback part doesn’t work *2022-02-28, version 7.2.1* I get no days completed no matter how many days I do. It doesn’t track my progress. I get the same game at the same level. Something is wrong. ### 4/5 — Good games but sudoku is flawed *2021-11-22, version 7.2.1* Good games but annoyingly sodoku is flawed as there is often two ways to finish and both would be correct. ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2021-09-05, version 7.2.1* So helpful to my well-being!! Thanks ### 3/5 — Overall *2021-06-10, version 7.2.0* Overall I enjoy the app. For the past 3 weeks the exercises have not changed. I’ve tried several times to change it up with no luck. I enjoy the games. It would be nice to have healthier recipes. Maybe more WFPB options. Videos are overall good, just need more of them as they tend to repeat as well. Would love to know how to get a different exercise set ### 5/5 — Amazing how this stuff is free! *2021-03-31, version 7.2.0* Nice daily activities, would love more health tips other than stuff on clinical trials - other than that it’s an amazing app! ### 5/5 — Loving this app *2021-02-23, version 7.2.0* Loving this app so far. Really like the daily reminders and tasks it sets. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too difficult for middle stage dementia *2025-05-14, version 7.2.1* Way too difficult for someone with dementia ### 1/5 — Mind mate *2022-10-16, version 7.2.1* Doesn’t indicate that purchase needed ### 1/5 — Transphobic App *2022-01-23, version 7.2.1* You can only use this app if you identify as male or female. So unless your cyst gender for subscribe to a binary concept of gender this app doesn’t allow you to proceed past the first question. You would think understand age that developers would realise that there are a lot of people in the world and they’re not all maybe like them.. ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2021-11-10* I have tried several days to get the daily recipe and it won’t load . I have to turn off my phone to get out of the program. Today I did the brain game and it won’t work either. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t log in correctly *2021-06-03, version 7.2.0* I was helping my dad with dementia set up his account. But something went wrong with the log in process. I attempted to troubleshoot unsuccessfully. I’m disappointed ### 1/5 — Study participant *2021-05-26, version 7.2.0* Very repetitious. Same workout for 3 weeks now. About 15 recipies rotated repeatedly. Only rating allowed through the app is 5 stars. Needs work ### 1/5 — MindMate *2021-03-21, version 7.2.0* Worst app I have seen. Cancelled it after 20 minutes ### 1/5 — Language *2021-03-17, version 7.2.0* Would love to have my grandma use this app but she only speaks Spanish. Every time I try to look for a way to change the language, there’s no instruction or guidance. Even though the App Store says this is provided in other languages. ### 1/5 — Not letting me sign in on new iPad *2020-05-29, version 7.0.0* It worked great before but now it won’t let me sign in and the thing that pops up is saying I don’t have the right radix? What does that mean??? ### 1/5 — Login needed *2019-12-02, version 6.0.0* You have to create a login and give your personal/contact details to use this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Vascular Dementia *2025-07-15, version 7.2.1* I’m caring for someone with severe symptoms of dementia &, though they zone out and get confused at times, this app keeps them interested and focused longer than most things. Thank you for this app. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-01-30, version 7.2.1* First, it’s actually *fun* which keeps me engaged but it’s also challenging-it seems to be helping me to focus. Some of the puzzles are harder and I want to go back to the easier ones (which are obviously more fun!) but I’ve been trying to stick with the tougher puzzles to exercise the old brain! But the bottom line is that I’m enjoying the puzzles and I feel I’m gaining some ground on improving both my memory and my ability to complete tasks that require better focus in real life. 🤓👍 Thanks Mind Mate! ### 5/5 — Everyday *2024-10-10, version 7.2.1* Everyday the MindMate awakens me to possibilities and Ian so grateful!! ### 5/5 — Interesting and fun *2024-07-14, version 7.2.1* Glad I found this app ### 5/5 — Holistic Mindset *2023-05-13, version 7.2.1* Comes with simple recipes and exercise’s Healthy tips with links to YouTube videos Very much tries to help improve all the different aspects of your mind for freeeeee ### 5/5 — The Healthy Ageing Trinity *2022-06-01, version 7.2.1* A great app to manage your physical activity, eating nutritionally, and regular exercise of your mind ### 5/5 — The Mind Mate App *2022-05-10, version 7.2.1* Your Mind Mate App, Is A Great App, You All Keep Up The Amazing Work, And May Yahawah And Yahawashi Bless You And Your Families, All LOVE FROM ME JUSTIN TO ALL OF YOU AT MIND MATE INC.

On All Of Your Work. ### 5/5 — Best app for brain training *2022-04-24, version 7.2.1* This is literally the best app for brain training I’ve found in the past few good years. Not only entertaining games bur also training and videos. ### 5/5 — Workshop *2022-01-29, version 7.2.1* It is good on train but I can do this all the time. ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-11-28, version 7.2.1* There’s a lot more to this app than just brain games. I haven’t delved in too deep in to the recipes and exercises but they seem very informative. My favorite part of this app is the sudoku game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
