No instructions

No instructions. I played how I guessed it much get have worked (I did the colts and tapped the screen if I thought the color shown two views before matched), but at the end of each game it said I got 15 correct and 0 incorrect, even when I purposefully chose incorrectly. Useless!

First impressions

I’m cautiously optimistic about this app. The history doesn’t seem to be working and it would be nice if the results showed a breakdown of correct/incorrect answers for space, colour and numbers, but apart from these little issues it works well.

Not user friendly, not accessible to novices

There is no demo mode, there are no instructions. I have played other n-back games and I don’t understand how this one works.
