RecallUp

Look once, then bring it back. RecallUp is a memory game for anyone who wants to practice attention and working memory — the memory that holds what you just saw for a moment. Six games, thirty levels each. Look closely, hold it in mind, then answer after it disappears. • Word memory: pick the words you saw, restore their order, and spot the one that changed. • Position memory: tap the cells that lit up — in order, and later in reverse. • Sentence memory: fill the missing words from memory. • Object memory: put hidden objects back in their places. • Tone sequence: replay the notes you heard. • Light sequence: tap the lights in the order they flashed. A round is five questions. Get all five right to unlock the next level. As levels rise, there is more to remember and less time to see it and to answer. It is not meant to be easy. Practice works offline. No account or subscription is required. A banner appears at the top during a round and at the bottom elsewhere, and an interstitial may appear after a completed round. Your results and preferences stay on your device. RecallUp is a practice game. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or promise to improve a health condition or everyday cognitive performance.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RecallUp at none against MindToday's 1. MindToday's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
