Especially the ones looking for similar meaning. Perhaps I am too precise but some of them are not at all similar ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-08-23, version 5.38.7* At first, I thought I wasn’t gonna get the subscription but it turns out you can only play one game with it. So I got the subscription. And I found some games that I really really liked like the turtle one and some other ones then somehow when I click on it a week later. It’s not there. This made me really sad and the game is not that encouraging, but it’s a nice refresh from scrolling ### 4/5 — Good but would rather pay once *2026-08-18, version 5.38.7* I enjoy it but I hate subscriptions that are obviously designed to make the companies more money ### 4/5 — Pensioner’s challenge *2026-08-17, version 5.38.7* Keeps my brain active and makes me think which I’m sure is good. ### 3/5 — Coastal Mum *2026-08-17, version 5.38.7* Simple, current words such as “regift” not being recognised is very frustrating ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-08-16, version 5.38.7* Phenomenal app! I play it every day ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-16, version 5.38.7* Finding very helping regarding many different functions. Highly recommended ### 3/5 — Great App, but Dark Mode Is Essential *2026-08-16, version 5.38.7* I really enjoy this app, but not having dark mode is a significant accessibility issue. Many brain injury survivors use these types of games to keep their minds sharp, and overly bright screens can cause discomfort or deter us from using the app altogether. I would give it five stars with dark mode, but for now, it’s three. ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-08-15, version 5.38.7* Some games are buggy, but overall perfect. ### 5/5 — All good *2026-08-15, version 5.38.7* Keeps my brain active. Wish there were more levels. ### 5/5 — Stimulant *2026-08-11, version 5.38.7* Stimulant pour le cerveau ### 5/5 — Mimi *2026-08-11, version 5.38.7* Great! ### 5/5 — Great brain app *2026-08-11, version 5.38.7* The games are good ! ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-08-11, version 5.38.7* Fantastic game to keep your brain active ### 5/5 — Interesting *2026-08-10, version 5.38.7* Games are well thought out and fun to do. ### 5/5 — Good app, support is iffy *2026-08-10, version 5.38.7* The app is good, lots of games and decent pricing. Sometimes support is iffy. They left me hanging for several weeks. But for the most part it’s a highly recommended experience. ### 5/5 — It’s get challenging pretty quick! *2026-08-07, version 5.38.7* Need a quick brain exercise? This app is for you and has been using it for years.👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2026-08-07, version 5.38.7* I’ve been doing Peak for many years and I really enjoy it. Trying to reach new levels and improve is very rewarding ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Treinos de linguagem *2026-08-23, version 5.38.7* Do nada, todos os treinos de linguagem foram removidos! ### 1/5 — So sad *2026-08-22, version 5.38.7* What a sham. I’ve been playing for years & now have to watch a video E V E R Y. T I M E. I want a play a game? Not for me. Update: Now- I’m not seeing an ad every time, but still wish I was offered 3 games instead of the new shortened daily - 2 games. I enjoy this app. ### 1/5 — So sad *2026-08-05, version 5.38.7* What a sham. I’ve been playing for years & now have to watch a video E V E R Y. T I M E. I want a play a game? Not for me. ### 1/5 — Deleted my lifetime account *2026-07-28, version 5.38.6* Reinstalled the app, only to find that they deleted my lifetime account for no reason. Support has not responded in days. ### 1/5 — Reset YET AGAIN *2026-07-25, version 5.38.6* I have a lifetime subscription. I use this app every day. I should have a streak of over 2600 yet yesterday (Saturday) it started at 1 again and said I skipped Friday. I’ve had to email again. Do not buy this app. Get Elevate brain training instead, I think same company now anyway but I’ve got over 2000 days with that app and have never had to contact them. Peak has slowed down and had more glitches as times goes on. Do not recommend. And their responses to emails are always cut and paste (do it every day) as if I’m an idiot. ### 1/5 — . *2026-07-18* При скачивании говорите, что все платно. Самым умным поясняю: мне эта недельная модписка бесплатная даром не нужна. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback. Ads and optional subscriptions are part of how the app is supported. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and if you’d like to share any additional thoughts, feel free to contact us at support@peak.net. ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2026-07-03, version 5.38.4* Can’t even play 2 game without dealing with all these ads. Am I really getting an experience out of this game when most of the time is spent on watching ads? No thank you ### 1/5 — No support???? *2026-06-30, version 5.38.4* So when you select app support there is actually NO support. You may only see answers to certain questions. I just purchased the pro version and the GROW game it is not working properly (Beginning letters of words are not showing) on iOS ipad and there seems to be no way to contact support. I’m sad I purchased something that has NO support. Ridiculous! ### 1/5 — can’t use any features without spending $60 *2026-06-20, version 5.38.4* literally nothing for free ### 1/5 — how hard to make a widget? *2026-06-16, version 5.38.4* how hard to make a widget? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top brain game *2026-08-26, version 5.38.8* Love it! Challenging ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-08-24, version 5.38.7* I love this app but I wish there was a way to add a comment on individual games. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-23, version 5.38.7* Awesome app, love the way it helps to improve the brain activity. You will be in high without consuming anything ### 5/5 — Response Time *2026-08-21, version 5.38.7* I really enjoy this game. I like to play it daily to keep that mind fresh. Thanks Peak. The Lifetime Membership Is The Best!!! 👌🏼👌🏼 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-20, version 5.38.7* Good ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-20, version 5.38.7* Best ### 5/5 — Five Stars *2026-08-19, version 5.38.7* Brain training or brain teasing? Either way it’s challenging and makes you think with the brain you were born with. I love the way the game challenges every aspect of being human - thought processes, emotions, problem solving etc. Some of the games I dislike and sometimes there are two of them in one challenge. My question is “why can’t we change more than one game in a challenge”? ### 5/5 — Always loved this app *2026-08-18, version 5.38.7* Been using this app since 2015/2016 it’s been great and stayed great throughout the years! ### 5/5 — Love the training but not the scoring *2026-08-18, version 5.38.7* I’ve been training daily on Peak for a few years now and I’ve found it really helpful keeping my brain active and I like most of the games. However, I am neurodivergent and the I find the method of scoring really raises my anxiety levels. I have reached over 700 but I can’t work out how the scoring is calculated. I don’t get a choice what games I get and some I am obviously better at than others. I find it puzzling and stressful how I can do fine on the 2 games yet my score goes down. It’s ruining my enjoyment of the games as I’m really anxious how I’m going to do, especially if it’s a game I know I’m not the best at. Is there a way to stop the scoring? I’m going to have to delete the app otherwise as it’s becoming a bit too much. ### 5/5 — Played this game everyday for years! *2026-08-17, version 5.38.7* Love this game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
