ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Brain Test holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Test has 1.5M ratings behind it against 5.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Brain It On!'s written reviews are positive against 58% of Brain Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brain It On! ships an update every 3 weeks, Brain Test monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
