Shapewise is a calm daily workout for your brain: three short games a day that practice memory, focus, math, logic and words, each one a few minutes long. A WORKOUT A DAY Every day Shapewise picks three games from different skills, never the same ones two days running. Play them in a few minutes, keep your streak going, and swap one game a day if you are not in the mood. Prefer five? Change the goal in Settings. TWELVE GAMES, FIVE SKILLS - Memory: Grid Recall, Number Span, Echo Sequence - Attention: Count Up, Arrow Switch, Twin Finder - Math: Quick Sums, Missing Sign, Percent Of - Logic: Misfit, Sort It - Words: Anagram Each game has 20 levels and adjusts round by round, so it stays just hard enough. YOU AGAINST YOURSELF Your results are compared with your own history, never with invented strangers. See your brain score, a rating and a trend for each skill, a best score and last ten sessions for every game, your streak on a calendar and 16 badges. Optional Game Center leaderboards let you compare with real players if you want to. UNWIND Two untimed puzzles for when you want to slow down: Colour Sort and Link Pipes, 1,000 levels each, every one checked to be solvable. MADE TO BE COMFORTABLE - Relaxed timing: turn off every clock in every game - Every color also carries a shape, so color is never the only clue - Light and dark appearance, high contrast, larger text and VoiceOver - One gentle daily reminder, only if you ask for it - Works offline, no account, no sign-up - iPhone and iPad, iOS 15 and newer FAIR AND SIMPLE Every game, level and statistic is open to everyone. Ads are calm: never inside a game or between the games of a workout, a banner only on the Games and Progress lists, and an occasional ad between sessions. Ads are non-personalized and suitable for all ages. Remove Ads is a single purchase, not a subscription, and also gives you the streak freeze and puzzle helpers without watching an ad. Shapewise is a set of games to practice memory, focus and math. It is not a medical product and does not diagnose or treat anything.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Shapewise at free with in-app purchases against Hearty App's subscription. Shapewise also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Hearty App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
