HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (178 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription22%

52 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ There are subscriptions, Pay 2 Win, and really bad brain trainer.
★★★★★ A few simple games with no new updates or different games - forget it do waste your money like I did
★★★★★ Based on the free version it looks like it might be ok, but the subscription price is insane for what this is and how basic it is.
Bugs, things not working9%

21 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ touch screen doesn't work in the app.
★★★★★ Page 1 says to take a test, but the test is doesn't work with android 😂 Why is it even allowed in the Play Store!?
★★★★★ App is glitchy to the point it is pretty much unusable.
Login and account problems5%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I can't create an account, app is unusable to me

Crashes and freezes4%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ think this application should give you more than one game a day or free or at least let you play the one game it gives you a day more than once for free especially for when it crashes and you have to restart it not…
★★★★★ even though I'm a paid member, the damn thing won't load.
★★★★★ the first exercise crashed and I couldn't do anything.

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ the continue arrow has to be touched above it and the touches to finish the exercises constantly do not register or register the wrong object.
★★★★★ The app is essentially useless for a cell phone.
★★★★★ This is a really strange failure mode, since touch screen accuracy has long been a solved problem.
Limits, credits, locked features3%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ loterally have to pay for everything
★★★★★ Limited to 1 exercise per day with the free app.
★★★★★ Nott sure if it's intentionally limited with a timer or if it's bad coding.
Lost data, sync, backup3%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Also can't view other people's reviews in play store, lose an extra star for that.
★★★★★ After paying $100 I could use it for 1 day and then the sound and basically the instructions were gone.
★★★★★ Hence it was a complete waste of my time and I deleted it a few minutes after installing it.
Missing features2%

★★★★★ unable to use it - on pixel 9 it is not functional - buttons missing, or not responding
★★★★★ There is no option to try this without payment.
★★★★★ The app opens, but doesnt have any text displayed in any of the tutorials, theres no way to skip any one if them so its a dead end.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

I'm not going to give you power of attorney to play your game. and I don't want to be forced into opening a game with a 3.0 score on Google Play

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

just amazing

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026

Worst brain test app ever. I found an ad saying its "scientific" but after testing it out it is the worst app to ever exist. There are subscriptions, Pay 2 Win, and really bad brain trainer. I expected all exercises unlocked, but instead, you go on "What do you want to improve on?" Like show all of the exercises! Like what the hell is this kind of brain test app? At this point, its not a brain trainer, its a Pay 2 Win trainer.

★★★★★Oct 8, 2026

I subscribed and it wont let me do more than my trial, its difficult for people with brain issues. Frustration doesn't help. tried to cx and said I wasn't found so I tried to sign back up and it said I already exist. I dont have the extra money to blow. I really enjoyed my free trail but it didn't do anything else once I purchased it.

★★★★★Sep 17, 2026

I imagine it's good at what it does, but there is zero fun involved. I expected the app to employ more gamification to make users feel like they've made progress. Instead, it's a joyless slog. I need to find something else because this is just depressing. (And yes, I have the paid version.)

★★★★★Sep 13, 2026

it's alright
