Customer Reviews
lots of little annoying glitches
- the app crashed in the middle of testing/training and won't let me resume that test/excercise
- I received text message during training - the app said "training interrupted" then exited the training -- what do u expect from a game on a phone!? do I have to turn on Airplane mode every time!?
- I missed the old interface they used on DS, not this pastel, rainbow unicorn look
- the chime sound (when you answer correctly) is very annoying. It sounds like someone repeatedly ring your doorbell. All I need is just a little ding to let me know that I got it and move on to next question
Most games well done, horrid UI
The UI developer for this game knew the dimensions for the iPhone screen, but no concept of touch interface. This feels like a crappy DS game (and the original Brain Age games were fairly decent on the DS) ported to the iPhone without adapting to the platform. As a result, it is very annoying to navigate through the menus.
The included Sudoku game is the worst implementation I've ever seen (I don't play much Sudoku) - tapping a square brings up the 9*9 grid always with the top left square selected regardless of which square you tapped and there's no way to enter known possibilities. This is a far inferior Sudoku to that included in the original DS Brain Age and not worth playing.
Does what it should
Does what it should but it does need fixing as others have mentioned.
I also felt discouraged when 1st starting out but I learned to practice in mini game mode. After learning the games the brain training goes much more smoothly.
