not good at all.
Terrible app.
The free version of the app is too restricted. They have 40+ games, but as a free user, I am only offered a couple. There are plenty of brain training apps out there that are not locked behind such a heavy pay wall and allow most of the games to be trialed before purchase. I prefer to actually test the games out before being locked into a subscription.
Tried it thinking it was free and was super excited. After I willing gave it my data it pretty much said it's only the trial that's free. Feel mislead and because of that didnt actually get to use the app. Reviewing because I feel slighted. 1 star from me. maybe listen to someone who didn't rage quit tho idk (the developer replied and misunderstood me :(. app should now be labeled as free, as only the trial is free. no biggie though)
I came here 5 weeks later just to add some details. Back in March I paid $.70 just for testing. However, they started charging me monthly $44CAD. They are fraud. Your IQ is high enough if you manage to avoid this company.
deadly.not good for brithing
why do i need to pay!?
This application really does nothing. They recently added features that are more a cash grab. There's also a lot of other things that suck, like you can buy past games for 1500 coins. I did but apparently I already finished them all as I guess it's a newer game since I joined so it was an absolute waste of coins. When my year fee comes due I won't renew. it's just a waste of time.
"Pert" does not mean "full of vigor", ya jerks. And "tubes" are not normallt not parts of a ventilation system. The correct term is "ducts". And although I like the Word bend game, I find it impossible to get a score above 20, even though I routinely score mid to high 20's on the Crossword. What is the average score in that game?
Too expensive
AI content, not always accurate You can tell its all AI generated after the trial ends and I am a bit annoyed as I paid for a lifetime sub. Where there are inaccuracies you supposedly can email them however after a few months I have not heard back. I find at least one in each daily workout which is pretty poor. I wish this had some humans to check the AI's work. Brilliant is deffo a better app, but does not focus on basic skills like this, however you will learn them correctly elsewhere.
This is a completely fraudulent subscription system. I recently subscribed for one year during the trial period, but they are charging me again for the same period after when the trial will end.
Subscription fee. 👎👎👎
they say they will let you know in 2 days before charging your card but they don't you get charged and now I can't get my money back almost 50 bucks
Can't even try the game without giving payment info for them to charge when your free trial ends, and no free version to use instead.
it's only worth it for the subscription and even that gets old after a while
when u first download the app it makes u do a test to see what skills u need improving on, then after that test they essentially make u pay to improve, the free version gives u the skill ur already best in 90% of the time so not much improving the skills that need work unless u pay ofcourse, other than that the app itself has pretty fun games just a shame its only a brain training game when u pay
It seems like a good learning app, but £40 a year for a SUBSCRIPTION? No thanks, its not worth it!
The game would be fine if it wasnt $200 for a mobile game. Its too easy and very repetitive. Definitely not worth paying a subscription to play. If you dont pay you get 2 minutes a day to play.

does what it's supposed to do
Charges and more charges
to expensive.
Went through most set up never telling you it's a per month membership. Should be the Very first thing told.
I signed up for a free trial and get charged full price for premium in a 48 hour period. The game is Great though!!
Now played for more than 100 continuous days. this app gets you nowhere if you do not spend money. not worth it.
