Trash

Trash app, lot of ads

Ad after ad after ad

This app has too many ads that gone on far too long to bother with. You play a round and then you have to sit through a stupid ad before you can play another round. You spend more time looking at ads than playing the n-back game. I deleted this app about eight years ago because of this. I had forgotten about the waste-of-my-time ads. Don't waste your time with this app.

IT WORKS

Playing this has improved my memory and fluid intelligence. It helps me with many things including being able to keep my track of thoughts. My ability to remember what a person said while still listening to them and being able to reply to what they said prior in the conversation as well as currently so I don’t have to try so hard not to forget key points in the conversation that I want to discuss further. You should do it 15-20 minutes a day. There is not a doubt in my mind that I am cognitively performing in many aspects at a higher level than before. Consistency is key. It might seem hard at first and the ads pop up too often but none the less, N-back works. Thorough studies have been done that show similar results between single N-back and dual N-back. The only thing about this app is there are too many ads, but it’s worth the setback.

Too many ads

Stop with ads after every game
I play 3 back often and it lasts 4 seconds and then there is an ad after each game.
My name is MikeMcFarland81 and I’m ranked very high on the level
3-back but because I’m so fast I see ads every few seconds literally.
