SMLE Brain is a focused, no-nonsense way to prepare for your exams. Revolutionize the way you prepare! Build a quiz from over 10,900 SMLE-style questions and filter it to exactly what you need to study — a specific month, a specialty, a single topic, or only the questions you got wrong last time. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Build a custom quiz — Filter by month, specialty and subspecialty, then pick how many questions you want. • Study what you actually got wrong — Narrow a quiz to unanswered or incorrect questions only, so you spend your time on the gaps instead of re-reading what you already know. • Add notes — Write a note on any question and it will be waiting for you the next time that question comes up. • Bookmark in four colours — Flag questions however suits you, then build a quiz from bookmarks alone to drill the difficult ones. • Change an answer — Some questions are genuinely debatable. Set the answer you believe is correct and it is saved for you, with ours kept alongside in a different colour for reference. • See where you stand — Every quiz ends with your accuracy and a ranked list of the topics you missed most, so you know what to review next. • Pick up where you left off — Leave a quiz half-finished and it is still there when you come back. • Light and dark mode — Follows your device, or set it yourself. • Built for iPhone and iPad — On iPad in landscape, the question list sits beside your questions. SUBSCRIPTION A free trial gives you access to one month of questions. A subscription unlocks the full bank — every month, every specialty, every topic. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renew in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Terms of Use: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SMLE Brain at 100% against Noji's 64%. SMLE Brain also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Noji's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 1) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
