Too few exercises with free version
Third & fourth exercise “locked” unless you “share “. Or watch a video. Rather than give up my friends, I select watch video and even after 5 minutes of a relentless ad, no additional games are available to play and I go through the process again but to now avail. Terrible waste of time. Price too high for this “ brain exercise” app.
used to be great
You used to be able to do so much more with free mode and now you can barely do anything anymore! Used to be worth it but not anymore.
What’s with all the questions?
I would love to play the game but you have to answer too many personal questions that have nothing to do with just playing what looks like a fun thing to do.
Waste of time
Waste of time.
(STILL) Disappointed
Updated 04/26/2026:
On Sunday morning I started the day doing my games, and was relieved to see it showed my 9 day streak (I know, not much to write home about but hey it beats a9-day showing as a two day!) and as I was getting into bed Sunday at 11:58 I saw that it wanted me to “Start today’s workout”. So I assumed it was just ahead of me and it wanted me to do Mondays workout. I did 4 of the 5 games, brushed my teeth and came back to “Start your workout - you’ve lost your streak. Pplay every day to keep your streak going” and now I’m calling BULL$h!t ! I finished Sundays games AND most of Monday’s , not some of Sundays and part of Sundays. It may seem trivial but I need the positive reinforcement! I’m going back to Peak or Luminosity. I tried clicking on both Contact Us and App Support but nothing happened. The heck with this
I’ve been using this app for several years. I started looking into the different brain training apps when a head injury was causing noticeable difficulties with my cognition. After trying just about all of the available apps, I kept coming back to this one and I’ve been a loyal customer since.
However lately I run into little snags that don’t mean anything in the grand scheme but bother me regardless. Like I’m pretty serious about training every day yet every note and then, for no apparent reason, my “streak” resets back to one day in a row. Like I said, pretty inconsequential but annoying. And I know if I’ve missed a day or not because I’ll play a couple rounds of sociology blocks to reward myself for finishing. And I usually play at the end of the day. Actually, early the next day as I’m a bit of a night on and it’s typically past midnight.
Then when I went to contact support tonight, it doesn’t do anything at all.
Cmon MindPal, please get your stuff together. I’m getting too old to learn a new app
