Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Brain Test
Read full descriptionHide full description
Everyone knows their biological age, but almost no one knows the age of the brain. Memory, speed of thought processes are individual and this test allows you to evaluate your abilities. The app checks the capabilities of your short-term memory as effectively as possible and, based on the data obtained, gives the age of the brain. Many will be very surprised by the result, and some will be upset.
A320 CBT

A link to the manual is in Menu - Settings - About. A320 CBT is a sophisticated flight simulator that is specifically designed to help prevent unstable approaches. It is an excellent tool for both instructors and pilots new to the A320 series aircraft. It supports both the A320, A321, and the NEO. This app is entirely created by an active A320 Captain and the author of the book "Practical Descent Energy Management". A320 CBT is a unique, first-ever flight simulator that features interactive lessons as well as a free flight mode. Several predefined scenarios are included that help you save time setting up high energy situations. You can also save the current state of flight to create custom situations. All phases of flight are supported, from take off, landing, to go-around. It also supports ILS, VOR, and RNP approaches. The ILS signal bends realistically outside of its normal range, simulating real-world behavior. If features a novel proprietary physics engine that uses very little hardware resources while at the same time providing a realistic flight experience. A revolutionary vector graphics engine made by Rive, provides super sharp, high quality graphics. It supports lossless zooming, making it suitable to run on small screen devices without blurred graphics when zoomed in. The intuitive interface allows you to easily control the Autopilot via the FCU buttons. Both cold weather and incorrect QNH situations are supported. The runway elevation can be changed to easily create different high airfield scenarios. Disclaimer: this is not an official training tool. System, performance, and SOP errors can occur. Always follow aircraft manufacturer and company manuals. App Restrictions A320 CBT is not an official training tool. System, performance, and SOP inconsistencies can occur. The app is not intended to be an FMS trainer. The FMS (MCDU) simulation is very limited. The app focusses on accurate FCU, FMA, and performance simulation instead. No NAV database is supported. Fictitious airports, SID, and STARs are used. Only one SID is available. Only two STARs are available. Only one airport is available for departure and two for arrival. Flight from A to B (or return to departure airfield) is not possible. The scenery is night time and point light based only. Only one point light scenery area is available. Unusual attitudes are not supported. The altitude tape is limited to FL 405. Negative altitudes are not supported. Lesson state save is only partially supported. The app is not certified for official training use. The app cannot be used while in a real cockpit. Real aircraft warning sounds are used. Manual flight is designed for instrument scan practice, not for handling skills. Manual thrust is not available. Joystick and game pad is not supported. Only ND ARC mode is supported. Only ND CSTR selection is available. ADF/NDB is not supported. EPR gauges are not supported, only N1 is supported. Viewing the airplane from the outside is not supported. 3D cockpit is not supported, only some 2D panels are supported.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brain Test at none against A320 CBT's 5. Brain Test also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
