Short, calm brain training for a few minutes a day. Practice reading faster without losing the meaning, train your memory and focus, or relax with a puzzle. Tell Ingenium what you want to work on and how much time you have, and it plans your session. READING • Word by word: words appear one at a time in the middle of the screen, so your eyes stay still. You choose the speed. • Reading Speed Test: read a short text, answer a few questions, and see how fast you read and how much you understood. Reading fast without understanding won't raise your score. • Guided reading: a highlight moves along the line at a steady pace, or the text comes in short blocks you can take in at a glance. • Real texts: texts written for your language, or Wikipedia articles about space, nature, history, technology, animals and the human body. • Quick eyes: find numbers in order on a Schulte table, look for letters, and recognize words that flash for a moment. MEMORY, FOCUS AND MORE • Memory: remember which squares lit up, repeat sequences, and spot when something repeats from a few steps back (N-back). • Focus: pick the color of the ink, not the word you read (the Stroop test), and find a target among look-alikes. • Reaction: tap as fast as you can, or only when you should. • Words and numbers: build words from letters, find synonyms and opposites, do math in your head, continue number patterns. • Logic: find the missing piece in a pattern, and turn shapes in your head. PUZZLES FOR YOUR DOWNTIME • Sudoku, from a small 4×4 to the classic 9×9, with notes, hints and undo. Untimed boards wait for you if you stop halfway. • Mazes with loops, and Locked Maze with keys and locks. • Tower of Hanoi: move the disks into place in as few moves as possible. MADE AROUND YOU • Choose 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes a day and the skills that matter to you. Reorder, replace or skip exercises in the plan. • Most exercises get harder when you do well and easier after mistakes, and each one remembers your level. • Star your favorites, and keep exercises you don't like out of your plans. • See your streak, your personal bests and how each skill is going. • Reminders, if you want them. • 11 languages, each with its own word games and reading texts. CALM AND PRIVATE • No ads, no account, no leaderboards, no coins. • Your progress is saved on your iPhone, not on our servers. • Crash reports and usage statistics are sent only if you agree. • Light and dark mode, and less motion if you prefer. WHAT IT COSTS Schulte Table, Memory Matrix, Quick Tap and Ink Color are free to play, without a subscription. During setup, you can also take the Reading Speed Test once for free. Everything else needs a monthly or yearly subscription. New subscribers start with a 7-day free trial, and starting it needs a payment method on your Apple ID. If you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you won't be charged. After that, payment is charged to your Apple ID, and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ingenium at none against MindFlow's 2. Ingenium also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
