SequenceTrainer is designed to help exercise and track the health of a person's working memory. It should also be of benefit to those preparing for the WAIS-IV and WISC-V assessments. SequenceTrainer presents the user with random sequences of either digits or letters to memorise, after which they must reorganise the sequence according to the specific test type and then reenter the result for scoring. Scoring is weighted to encourage improvement, while the length of sequence is automatically increased, in step with the user's ability. Multiple statistics chart the user's progress and past test results are stored for future revision. The app supports extensive options for creating custom exercises that accommodate a wide range of users, with diverse cognitive, and physical abilities.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SequenceTrainer at 100% against Focus's 48%. SequenceTrainer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). Focus's advantage is ratings volume (869 vs 4) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. SequenceTrainer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Focus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus has 869 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SequenceTrainer's written reviews are positive against 48% of Focus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
