Read full descriptionHide full description
Brain food, not brain rot. Intellect Plus is a calm, swipeable feed of the most interesting things humans know: history, science, space, art, ideas, nature, cultures, music and more. Every card is a short, well-written story you can read in under a minute, with its sources named. When something grabs you, go deeper: every card has a five-minute read behind it. A FEED THAT'S GOOD FOR YOU • Thousands of cards across 18 subjects, with new ones every day • Short hooks that reveal at reading pace, and a longer read when you want it • Every card credits its sources, from encyclopaedias to museums and science bodies • Talks and explainers from hand-picked educational channels, right in the feed • Your feed learns what you enjoy, privately, on your phone EXERCISE YOUR MIND • Thousands of original challenges: maths, logic, patterns, words, spelling, memory, attention and estimation • Every answer explained, so you learn something whether you're right or not • Challenges appear every so often as you read, or play as many as you like in Challenges • Difficulty adapts to you: easy when you're warming up, harder as you improve WATCH YOURSELF GET SHARPER • Intellect IQ: your demonstrated reasoning level, from the challenges you solve • Intellect Power: everything you've learned and accomplished, growing with every card you read and every challenge you take on • See your strengths by area, your streak and your badges • Intellect IQ reflects your performance across Intellect's reasoning challenges. It isn't a clinical or standardised IQ test. MADE FOR CURIOUS PEOPLE • Read aloud: have each card read to you in a natural voice, made on your device • Auto-scroll: sit back and let the feed move on when each card is done • Save cards for later, share a beautiful picture of any card, and join the conversation in the comments • No account needed. Sign in only if you want your progress on every device. No outrage, no endless noise. Just the good stuff, one card at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Intellect Plus at every 8 days against SIMS Student's every 2 months. SIMS Student's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
