Recall: Memory & Brain Games How good is your memory, really? Recall is a collection of seven short, beautifully designed memory games. Each one shows you something for a moment, takes it away, and asks you to bring it back. The closer you get, the higher you score. THE GAMES • Colors: A hue flashes on screen. Rebuild it with hue, saturation and brightness. Play easy, medium or hard, or try Survival and Zen. • Pitch: Hear a single note, then slide until you find it again by ear. • Timing: Watch a moment pass, then hold for exactly as long. • Shapes: Memorize a shape's size and angle, then turn and scale it back into place. • Rhythm: Listen to a groove, then tap each instrument back in on cue. • Tiles: Some tiles traded places. Spot them and swap them back, fast. • Critters: Someone repainted a critter. Slide its color back to how it was. HOW IT WORKS Every round is scored out of 10, every run out of 50. Pick easy to practice, medium to compete, or hard when you want a real challenge. KEY FEATURES • Precision Scoring: Perceptual color math, auditory pitch scales and millisecond timing, scored down to two decimals. • Daily Colors: Everyone gets the same five colors every day. Compare scores worldwide. • Global Leaderboards: Climb the Game Center rankings in all seven games. • Detailed Statistics: Track your history, best scores and streaks in Colors. • Share Your Runs: Send your score to friends and challenge them to beat it. • Clean Design: A calm, dark canvas that lets every color and shape stand out.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Recall at none against Nebulous.io's shown. Recall also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Nebulous.io's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Nebulous.io sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Recall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Recall holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nebulous.io has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nebulous.io ships an update every 2 weeks, Recall every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
