Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Visual Recall Challenge at 4.8 against Memory Match Brain Trainer's 4.2. Visual Recall Challenge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Memory Match Brain Trainer's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Visual Recall Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory Match Brain Trainer has 1.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Memory Match Brain Trainer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Visual Recall Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Memory Match Brain Trainer ships an update every 6 months, Visual Recall Challenge every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
