Thank you, next. ### 1/5 — Ridículo *2021-05-22, version 1.3.5* Nem cheguei a usar, e disse que “minha avaliação gratuita terminou” e os preços dos planos são um absurdo. Se vc acha que é um aplicativo gratuito, nem instale! ### 1/5 — Did not work *2020-12-05, version 1.2.6* Did not work on my iPhone very well. I only got to use one game. Too bad I paid for a lifetime of use. I would ask for a refund if I knew how. Save your money look for something else to help with speed reading. --------------- I have now tried 2 times to get a refund and both times it has been denied by Apple. Apple has neglected to explain why it was denied and now no longer will accept a refund request. I am now stuck with a product that will not work and I have to deal with a company like Apple that is indeferent to pleas by customers. This review will not change Apple. I just hope others will read this and think twice before buying something at Apple store and putting Apple in the position to arbitrage problems. ### 4/5 — It’s good! *2022-01-15, version 1.4.1* It’s good! Highly recommend good for the memory. Helps brain to exercise. It should 5 stars but I put as 4 for improvement ### 4/5 — Great Brain Exercise *2020-12-24, version 1.2.8* I really enjoyed doing the brain workouts with Readlax! Although sometimes the directions of how to play the game is confusing, you will still easily understand how it works once you start playing. ### 4/5 — Great for on-the-go brain stimulation *2020-12-08, version 1.2.6* I have really enjoyed using the Readlax for stimulating my brain and training it to become more efficient in reading and memorizing. It is very convenient to use and I use it daily while I am commuting to work. It gets me brain working for the day and I truly feel more efficient during my work day as my brain and memorization is active first thing in the morning. The games are fun and it does not feel like you are working. However, it would be better if there was additional games that could be played because it does start to get a little too repetitive. It is a great platform and has great potential to grow into a far reaching application. Definitely recommend. ### 4/5 — Fun *2020-12-07, version 1.2.6* I love brain games like these. Good about of levels and definitely test your memory. Would love to see more games. ### 4/5 — Great for brain exercise *2020-12-04, version 1.2.6* It is a fun game for your brain and it lets you concentrate. However, I am not able to understand the stages of the game. Due to which, it does not give me idea about my destination. Otherwise, it is very interesting game to play. ### 4/5 — Love this app but *2020-12-02, version 1.2.6* I really enjoy apps like this because I really like working out my brain and testing. However I can’t seem to get pass the first game (workout), I mean I really liked the game but I couldn’t seem to get pass it and onto the next workout. I tried reloading and got to the next workout but then I couldn’t get pass that one. Maybe a glitch in the system overall great and fun game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is so useful! *2025-11-20, version 1.8.9* This app is great for quick brain teasers to you sharp! The brain games are easy to learn, well explained, and run smoothly with no bugs. The tracker feature lets you monitor your game progress as well as your sleep, emotions, water intake and tracks the badges you earn as you play. This app is very clean and organized, the layout is clean, and the colors are nice. Anyone looking for a light, enjoyable way to exercise their brain this is the app for you. ### 5/5 — Solid Productivity Tracker *2025-10-06, version 1.8.5* This app has great content for someone looking to improve their daily life in a multitude of ways. If you are looking to track your daily mood, tasks, and sleep schedule the tracker option is perfect for staying organized. If you are looking to exercise your mind the train option gives you fun minigames to work on various brain activities. There is an option for everyone which I really appreciate in a mindfulness/habit app. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2025-08-06, version 1.8.1* This is a nice app. I hope you will keep offering it.

The app is designed to improve memory, focus, and vocabulary while keeping your brain sharp. I appreciate its user-friendly platform and the variety of tools it offers. It’s great for students, professionals, or anyone who wants to boost their mental performance. ### 5/5 — Useful Brain Training App *2024-11-29, version 1.7.0* It’s a great way to stimulate my brain into working into optimum condition. It has a lot of brain testing games from word typing, reading and mental math. It also has minibooks which I love. I hope the app UI will improve because I had a hard time finding the back button to the game section and I get confused with the instructions for the games sometimes but overall, pretty useful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
