NeuroNation - Brain Training

Simple seeming exercises posing well crafted challenges. At end of each challenge useful ratings/rankings display. Ads are minimal and timed in convenient manner. Not at all naggy, distracting, not annoying. This is my first day with it. I'm liking it much more than expected and intend to continue long term. I highly recommend giving it a try.

I was skeptical that this would improve my thinking ability in any noticeable way but after 6 months of using it several times a week I've noticed a marked improvement in my memory and focus. I don't consider it fun or relaxing, it's more like working out, difficult but worth it for the good results.

Initial tests & poor instructions are given at the same time. There's no chance to learn how the tests work because they're timed. I did well except for "speed" & this is the reason why. There is no way to reset the initial evaluation, so if for any reason you didn't perform, you're stuck with poor scores. If I could have had a moment to read the instructions before hand, I feel I would have done much better. If that was part of the test, then it's far, far too much anxiety & frustration for me.

This app is great! I have a terrible working memory, and I can see it improving. It's also a great way to transition between working on one subject (I'm a college student) to another, like a mental palette cleanser. I do wish there was an option to not see the "comparison to peer group" box at the end of an exercise; I'm doing this for self improvement, not as a competition, and it can feel really bad when I score relatively poorly, even if it's a new high score for me.

Great app! It showed me where my weaknesses are. It's not just about problem solving which many of us can do. Further, it challenges one to place close attention to a specific order of instructions after one gets to a comfortable doing a given activity. The app allows one to slow down, or speed up. You'll find basic math activities, word finding overallcomprehension & attentiveness. Advanced activities: by subscription. Most are free. Everyone should try!

It is not worth playing. Not enough time to complete problems. Otherwise, it is good. Need more time to practice & get better. Please give me 'skip' option when I'm stuck on a problem but don't force me to the next one. I'm okay with my round score being bad ... just want to actually get to finish the problems I'm struggling with. The challenge would be fun that way. This way it is so frustrating & makes me feel like i can't improve. This could be a 'special needs' feature, toggled in Settings

Not a bug fan of the updated version. Where's the world games? Or the star game where you have to avoid the asteroid thingys? Or the color game with the trampolines? All my favorite ones have been taken away and you can't choose what games you want. Plus, the training exercises will have the same exercise 2 or 3 times in one session. Not digging it.... might have to cancel my subscription.

So far, the app handles well, lives up to it's description and looks very well constructed. They seem to use musical tones as negative and positive feedback which is sort of pavlovian, but I do like it. The difficulty also changes as you become better at the challenges, if you were wondering if it was an automatic scaling. Overall I really enjoy the app and would recommend it to people that are struggling with memory or keeping pace in a conversation.
