As featured in the book Beyond Training by Ben Greenfield. As featured in the podcasts: - Harder to Kill Radio 026 - Ameer Rosic Optimal Health Show #58 - Ben Greenfield Fitness #263 CNS Tap Test is an adaptation of the Finger Tap Test (FTT) or Finger Oscillation Test (FOT) which is used to measure the status of the central nervous system (CNS), and is one of the most commonly used tests in neuropsychology, because of its simplicity and reliability, and because it generates relevant data about fine motor control, which is based on motor speed as well as kinesthetic and visual-motor ability. The application should be used on a regular basis to determine an athlete’s baseline. If the CNS Tap Test result is elevated it is suitable for a maximum effort or a heavy lifting day. If the CNS Tap Test result is lower than average it may indicate CNS fatigue and impending sickness, injury or over-training. Both hands should be tested on a regular basis in a consistent environment, typically every morning on waking. The procedure for testing is: - Rest hand palm down on the heel of the hand on a flat surface - Tapping is done with the index (pointing finger), and all other fingers remain on the flat surface - The timer starts with the first tap - When the timer expires no further taps will be accepted - The result can either be saved or discarded. Multiple samples can be saved per day. The resulting data can be graphed, emailed or managed from within CNS Tap Test. Using Swift Charts for improved accessibility and legibility.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MOVE! at Free against CNS Tap Test's $1.99. MOVE! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). CNS Tap Test's advantage is ratings volume (277 vs 1). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MOVE! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CNS Tap Test has 277 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of CNS Tap Test's written reviews are positive against 67% of MOVE!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CNS Tap Test ships an update every 3 months, MOVE! fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
