Ape Test – Health & Fitness Game Review
Ape Test is a Health & Fitness/Trivia game from Thorsten Seitz, first launched in 1st April 2010.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 2+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Ape Test Stand Out
Test and train your photographic memory! Can you keep up with the chimpanzee Ayumu?
You have to memorize the positions of up to nine numbers within a very short time span.
The chimpanzee Ayumu accomplishes this masterfully, even if he has seen the numbers for just 210 milliseconds.
The human test persons undergoing the same test performed worse. What about you? What can you grasp with a glance?
For training you can set longer time spans (and less than nine numbers). There is even a special setting for hiding the numbers only when the first one is touched. Ayumu did start his training like that, too, by the way (although he did have to learn first that numbers are ordered).
You can track your progress with several statistics (Ayumu prefers raisins ;-).
The application is based on real trials with chimpanzees which were performed in 2007 in Japan.
This Health & Fitness game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Why in any level other than infinity as soon as you make a mistake the numbers will not show again? Is this a bug or part of the game ?because it's pretty useless in those scenarios.also the sound can't be turned off .can it be fixed? We're using iOS 7 on iPad.
Thank you for making such nice app.
We highly recommend this app to everyone! It is an excellent test of reaction time and is a challenge. This app is well-designed and is fun/addictive. We enjoy using it.
We Love this game very fun and very addictive.
This app works smoothly and we'd recommend it to anyone looking for good memory games. Letters and symbols should be added in addition to numbers.
We love this app. We believe it to be a very worthwhile addition for anyone interested in working with their brain. We wish however, that the developer would consider adding levels of 6 and 8. That would make it more valuable for people who use it seriously.
This app is really addicting! We can't stop playing it.
