### 4/5 — Good, but...

*2026-05-17*

Issues:

* Reflex Tap game does not always register my finger taps in my iPhones old 12 mini and new 17. 

* Numerical Shuffle game never randomly show up for me. Also, first level is too hard after doing its easy tutorial.


Suggestions:

* Apple's Game Center connection!

* Give us more than three primary goals options. I want most/all!

Prism Align game does not need to  give me hints automatically. Make it an option please.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for reviewing the app! We'll definitely add it to our roadmap!

### 2/5 — For ADHD, not by ADHD

*2026-01-28, version v1.13.0*

Whoever decided to create a 5 minute onboarding process for the app clearly doesn't understand people with ADHD. I was so frustrated by the time I got to the actual games that I quit and deleted it.

### 4/5 — 信息不同步

*2025-12-13*

我用苹果账号分别登陆iPhone和iPad，发现游戏记录不同步，麻烦修正一下

**Developer response:** 您好，非常感谢您的反馈。我们注意到您在 iPhone 和 iPad 上使用相同的 Apple 账号时，游戏记录未同步。我们很快会发布新版本，修复跨设备的数据同步问题。感谢您的耐心与支持！

### 1/5 — Commitment overload

*2025-12-10, version v1.12.1*

AUDHD diagnosed and money is always tight. 7 day trial and then £39.99 is a lot to ask for us ND people to try. 
We will forget, probably ignore reminders and then you take payment we fight to get it back and thus then cannot eat for a day or 2. It’s literally such a frustrating system and when we try to get money back apple will just tell us no, give an excuse this has happened to me more times than I can count. If this was made for ADHD you would know this would be an issue or barrier for most. Financially, memory etc … just really frustrating

### 1/5 — Tricked into paying for a year

*2025-12-09, version v1.12.1*

I planned to trial this for the 7 days free with no payment however the way the app is set up it works it so if you’re not careful you end up not getting the trial and end up paying for a year upfront. I didn’t want to subscribe yet. 

Be very careful when signing up as to not fall into the same trap.

### 1/5 — Beware

*2025-11-30, version v1.12.1*

There’s no way I’d commit $70 per year based off a one day trial. Beware before you sign up.

### 1/5 — It’s a trap

*2025-11-30, version v1.12.1*

After answering a slew of questions, it gives you hope that this app can help you, then wants you to pay $50. Uninstalled

### 1/5 — Pay before try? No thanks

*2025-11-24*

Wastes time collecting your info just to announce you have to pay to even see what it’s all about. Predatory “free week if you cancel on time” rather than just “we’ll
Ask you in a week if you want to pay”. Dirty marketing tactics a big turn off for me or any app that asks you to “trust them”.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback!

Just to clarify: the 7-day trial is completely free. You can cancel immediately after starting the trial and will still keep full access for the entire week without being charged. We also send a reminder one day before the trial ends, as long as notification permissions were granted.

Regarding transparency, all of our games are grounded in scientific research, which we openly share on our website (https://www.propeladhd.com). We want every user to feel confident about how Propel works and why it works.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts!

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel my free trial

*2025-11-22, version v1.12.1*

I got a message telling me to cancel in settings or I will be charged for a yearly membership. This app does NOT show anywhere in my subscriptions! How can I cancel the trial right now????!!!

### 1/5 — won’t let me do it

*2025-11-13, version v1.12.1*

it won’t let me past the subscription part? I can’t get the pro but it won’t let me on it at all and just stays on the pro for free screen

### 3/5 — Zu viel Kaufen

*2025-11-03, version v1.11.2*

Die App hat zu wenig Möglichkeiten, für mehr muss man ein Abo abschließen.. Ist schade da die App sehr gut läuft.

### 1/5 — Another predatory ADHD app

*2025-11-01*

I downloaded this app and went through all the questions and got to the point where it offered a free trial, just to get immediately charged for an annual subscription (which I thought would be charged 7 days after). I don’t even care how helpful this app MAY potentially be, I want my money back and I will NEVER use this app!!

**Developer response:** We're sorry for the misunderstanding. Only our main yearly plan includes the 7-day free trial, so it seems a different plan was selected. All payments are processed by Apple, but if you contact us at support@neuronwizard.com, we'll help you requesting a refund directly to Apple.
We hope you understand and give it a try to see how Propel will help you with your ADHD.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very unfortunate

*2026-09-03*

I really wanted to give this app 5 stars. I was using it for a month straight and was enjoying it thoroughly. Was ready to start recommending it to my peers but unfortunately any concerns I have seems to fall on deaf ears. I sent a message 2 different times addressing 2 separate issues right on there “contact us” page on the app. Not only did i get no response both times, but it also wasn’t in my sent history from my email for proof, so it’s as if it never happened. It would be really nice if someone would just respond, but I am sure they will read this response and still ignore my concerns completely. Won’t even bother getting into what the issues were that I was trying to address because what’s the point? Easy potential 5 stars plummeted to a 1 star simply because they don’t want to put any effort into addressing a supporter/user’s concern

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm Cátia. I'm so sorry for this experience, especially after a full month of enjoying the app and wanting to recommend us. We certainly aren't ignoring you. Your messages never reached us and I can't yet tell you why, which is exactly what I want to get to the bottom of. 

Please email us directly at support@neuronwizard.com. Anything you can tell us about how you sent the first messages would really help us find where they went, and if you're willing to go into the two issues again, we'll look at them properly.

### 1/5 — Complete scam

*2026-07-09, version v1.23.0*

I didn't even make it past the privacy agreement before deleting. The five requests were:

1) I agree to the proceeding of my personal health information to enable core features 

2) privacy statement ans terms of service

3) I allow Propel to collect anonymous usage data to help improve the app and experience

4) I agree that Properly may use my personal data (except health data) to send product or service offers over email

5) I agree that AppsFlyer and its integrated partners may use information like my email and technical identifiers (within privacy policy) to help Propel show relevant advertising and reach people like me

Edit after Developer response on 7/9/2026: "Individual options" was not my experience. App store reviews do not allow screenshots, but I have them of the agreements screen. Any ability to move forward was prevented even with partial selections of the 5 agreements, and no differentiation was made clear between necessary and "optional" choices.

### 1/5 — It’s NOT FREE

*2026-07-01, version v1.23.0*

This app wasted five minutes of my time asking questions and “personalizing a workout” just to paywall the rest of the app.

### 1/5 — Complete scam

*2026-06-18, version v1.22.0*

I didn't even make it past the privacy agreement before deleting. The five requests were:

1) I agree to the proceeding of my personal health information to enable core features 

2) privacy statement ans terms of service

3) I allow Propel to collect anonymous usage data to help improve the app and experience

4) I agree that Properly may use my personal data (except health data) to send product or service offers over email

5) I agree that AppsFlyer and its integrated partners may use information like my email and technical identifiers (within privacy policy) to help Propel show relevant advertising and reach people like me

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2026-05-09, version v1.21.0*

Nothings free. Can only play for like 5 minutes then to do ANYTHING else it costs money. Why can’t this be free?

### 1/5 — 7 Day Free Trial Scam

*2026-01-23*

I wasn’t sure about this app and saw another highlighted bad review about wanting money. As stated by the developers themself there is a 7 day free trial before any subscription purchase is made. This is a blatant lie. I started the free trial and 12 hours later was charged $40 for the yearly access. 12 HOURS!! If you do try this app and don’t like it after a few minutes/hours delete it and it’s subscription in your settings immediately!!

**Developer response:** Hi, João here! I'm sorry for the confusion. To clarify, we offer different plans to give users more choice. While our main yearly option includes a 7-day free trial, some other plans begin immediately. This is always specified on the Store's final confirmation screen before you authorize any payment. Since Apple handles all billing, you can request a refund directly from them. If you need help with that process, please reach out to us at support@neuronwizard.com, we're here to help!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-01-23, version v1.13.0*

They asked me all this information just to get to a page that asked to do the free trial. I’ve learned my lessons with free trials. They’ll charge you and it’s hard to get the money refunded. No thanks.

### 1/5 — Will trick you into paying £12.99 upfront!!!

*2026-01-19, version v1.13.0*

Just been charged £12.99 after signing up to a free trial. Luckily I was given a refund when I reported this. From previous reviews, I see that this has been an ongoing problem for months which has not been resolved. Will delete this app now.

### 1/5 — Another sly trick

*2026-01-12, version v1.13.0*

Why do apps lie to people? Tell people up front how much it costs! I’m sick of being tricked into paying sir a GAME.  Makes my ADHD even worse. Shame on you for messing with the minds that want to play a game to help them.

### 1/5 — This game is NOT free in any way. it’s a trick!

*2025-12-11*

I was very disappointed.  They ask you all kinds of personal information before you even get to try it as well as get your money. the free games?  it told me I could pay up front and cancel at anytime. It’s a scam in making you believe you can play for free and it will help you.  the only thing i see helping is lining the pockets of the people who own this site. Don’t fall for it like i did.  As for the games. who knows it they help,  i wasn’t willing to pay up front in order to find out. if they lied to me just to hook and reel me in. who knows what else they are lying to me about.  Just wanted everyone to know. I am deleting this app!

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, we're sorry for the frustration this caused.

To clarify, the 7-day trial is completely free and gives full access to all games. You can cancel immediately after starting the trial and still keep access for the full week without being charged. No payment is required to try the app for those 7 days.

We ask for optional information to personalize your daily workout plan and difficulty progression, but you are never required to provide it to explore Propel. Our subscriptions support ongoing research and improvements, so we can continue helping people with ADHD in meaningful ways.

Thank you again for the time to share your feedback as it helps us make the app more transparent and user-friendly.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-11*

Great game, even though I’m nine it still helps. I think it’s good. Even though it’s a scam in a way. Lower prices would be greatly beneficial in the future. The fact that it was a scam and not a free game it still makes me feel better about my ADHD and anxiety.

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm Cátia! Thank you so much for the kind words, that means a lot. Just a heads-up: Propel is designed for ages 13 and up, so it'd be great for a parent or guardian to know you're using the app. Feel free to have them reach out to support@neuronwizard.com if they have any questions!

### 5/5 — ADHD Madness!!!!

*2026-05-29*

So far so good. App isn’t glitchy and activates and helps build those neural pathways! I’ll be using daily!

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm Cátia. Thank you so much! Keeping the app glitch-free and scientifically effective for your brain is a top priority for us. Have fun conquering your daily games and workouts!

### 5/5 — 很不错

*2026-05-28*

游戏设计不错，可以优先锻炼大脑

**Developer response:** 你好！我是 Cátia。谢谢你的赞美！看到你觉得游戏设计不错并能有效锻炼大脑，我们整个团队都非常受鼓舞。我们会持续通过调查与研发来优化体验，陪你一起保持大脑活力。加油！

### 5/5 — 体验可以，价格太贵

*2026-05-07*

任天堂switch上有个脑力游戏，才130买断，如果你这个游戏100买断制我愿意考虑

**Developer response:** 你好！我是 Cátia。感谢反馈！很高兴你喜欢应用。与一次性买断的固定游戏不同，我们的订阅制能确保你获得的是根据个人目标实时调整的训练。非常感谢你对价格的坦诚建议，我们会和团队认真讨论。

### 5/5 — I Love It!!

*2026-03-11, version v1.15.1*

This app is really great! Yes you have to pay for it beyond the 7 day free trial, but it’s worth some money. Pro tip: deny all of the payment plans, including the free trial (there IS a free version) until it offers the premium version for $35.99/year forever! That’s about $3/month — more than reasonable. 

As for the games, they’re simple enough to start and then progressively get more challenging as you prove you can handle it. I like how they are not overly complicated. It keeps me coming back. I’m happy to have something leisurely to do on my phone that doesn’t involve wrecking my dopamine system (i.e. scrolling social media). And better yet, it’s helping my ADHD brain. Also loving the minimalist, sleek design.

### 5/5 — 很好，建议提速，建议适当降价

*2025-12-06*

游戏很好玩，题目与题目之间的切换速度再快一点就好了，最好速度可以让用户手动在App里调节设置。会员有点贵，可以再便宜些。

**Developer response:** 您好，非常感谢您的反馈。我们会继续优化游戏体验，包括提升题目切换速度，也会认真考虑增加可调节选项。同时，我们也会持续评估会员价格，希望未来能更好地满足用户需求。感谢您对 Propel 的支持！

### 5/5 — Propel

*2025-10-20, version v1.11.2*

I love propel its so fun and relaxing and helps ADHD

### 5/5 — Mejora tu mente

*2025-08-14, version v1.8.5*

Con solo constancia te soluciona la vida

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-08-13, version v1.8.5*

This is wonderfully game easy to understand

### 5/5 — 求让用户能自由选择是否显示成绩

*2025-08-09*

非常好的软件，能锻炼专注力，而且游戏也很好玩。但是每次玩完都要显示成绩让我感到有些焦虑，如果成绩比之前的差会感到非常挫败，不想再继续。但是实际上，成绩对我这个只是想练习而已的人来说不太必要，我不需要知道我做的怎么样。如果能做出让用户自由选择是否显示成绩的更新，我会购买终生版，并推荐身边所有adhd朋友使用这款app

**Developer response:** 您好，非常感谢您的反馈和建议！我们很高兴您喜欢我们的应用和游戏，也理解成绩显示可能会让部分用户感到压力。您的建议非常有价值，我们会认真考虑在未来更新中加入让用户自主选择是否显示成绩的功能。再次感谢您的支持和耐心！
