Ice flow is broken though. I can get all 5 rounds correct with 100% accuracy and it is impossible to level up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads and unavailable video *2023-02-26* Using the free version, the ads were terrible. After the first 20 minutes I started getting a notification that said video unavailable, so I could not use any exercises. ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-08-30* This was recommended by a vision therapist. It is absolutely saturated with ads. The ads are almost impossible to clear. I have to keep shutting down the app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled several times. No matter how many times I click on done or the x the ads will not go away. I give up. Could be some interesting things there but I never got to try. Just ad after ad after ad. Really frustrating. I’ve never seen it this bad for an app. I have never downloaded an app that was presented this way. If they are this desperate for someone to download there must be a reason nobody wants it. I’d like to give it zero stars. ZERO. ### 2/5 — Copy-Paste Games *2026-08-23* This app is mainly Sudoku, Tetris, Flappy Bitd, etc, not eye training programs--just a bunch of other programs' bloatware that there's no scientific evidence to suggest help with anything. What's next? Farmville for "hand strength" holding your phone? Even the convergence/divergence exercises are basic and poorly programmed. And they have the gall to ask for $150/yr. Pencil push-ups are free and work better. ### 2/5 — Good until update *2023-11-07* This is a good app and is helping me but when updated 11/6/23 the number flip game has blank tiles rendering it useless. :( ### 2/5 — Broken *2021-04-09* Flower power completely stopped working with the latest update **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! We’ve fixed this in our latest update. ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-10-15* Designed for training and entertainment. Not intended to diagnose or treat any condition. … and it doesn't. ### 3/5 — Great games, horrible ads, expensive *2022-02-24* The games are great, but the ads are the worst ads I’ve seen on an app. They last forever, then they have you click through screens before you can exist. Paying for pro is more expensive than some streaming services and they use a subscription based model. Also if you don’t pay for pro you can’t play offline. There are other games and services that accomplish the same thing, but often include games to build other areas of your brain as well. Why is this such a cash grab? ### 4/5 — Great, but could benefit from a few tweaks *2025-01-07* I love this app. It's such a great way to keep up with the skills from vision therapy and make it fun and easy to do through games. It is incredibly helpful that it tells you what skills you are working on with each game and clearly explains the objective and instructions. It makes it easy to navigate and use. This is an app I'm going to share because of how helpful it is. My only critique/issue is there isn't a way to customize it. With some of the peripheral vision games that use the "C" symbol it would be helpful if there is an option to change that symbol. Or having color just so it's easier to differentiate. And with the Dynamic Acuity it would be helpful if there was a way to adjust the number of targets. It seems the progression is always adding more targets versus speed and I'm guessing mostly only able to focus on one or two. Even if it was an even easier, or introduction level it would be helpful to build up that skill a little more. ### 4/5 — optics training *2023-06-27* it’s good it just has a lot of ads ### 4/5 — I like it but... *2020-06-16* There are a few bugs that need to be addressed in future patches. For the current version, with letter delivery, the letter can go below the bottom of the screen, so you wouldn’t be able to know if the letter was O or Q, or E or F for example. In addition, both the attention exercises do not level up, they are stuck on level one even if you get perfect scores. I assume it’s because they’re newly implemented, but just thought It mention them in case you weren’t aware. It’s a nice app regardless. keep doing what you’re doing and improving upon it and you’ll get even more 5 star reviews 👍 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-10-21* I love the daily workouts !! ### 5/5 — Vision and brain training made fun!! *2026-10-12* Such a well designed app that gives you a few games each day to work on different skills like visual discrimination, visual tracking, memory, attention, etc. Each day you get a new workout with different games. At the beginning of the game, you can see what skills the game is working on. I only played the free version and there were minimal ads. It’s cool that you can also play the games with red/green glasses as well. This game makes vision and brain training fun! ### 5/5 — Explorer *2026-10-11* It’s a great game with so many varieties of games for visual coordination, memory/focus training and most importantly fun.

It is helping with focus, eye movement, peripheral vision loss and hand-eye co-ordination.

I can tell this will be great training for my eyes and memory. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-08-29* I just started using this app and I really enjoy it. The games and activities are simple to learn. This was a great alternative to my Nintendo ds brain games eye games. I feel less stain on my eyes. Which is huge for me because I’m always staring at screens all day. It’s a nice way for me to sit back for a couple of min strengthen my eyes. Excellent app! Highly recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
