Community Insight:
Ive found this is pretty much all you need to help sharpen your brain. Thanks to the developer for keeping this going.
Really fun way to keep math and memory sharp. Our only big wish would be an option to skip a trial if you get it wrong or if you dont remember the nback answer.
We tried this out and thought it was fun. We even purchased the Pro version (cant get rid of Go Pro though). We assumed the numbers would be entirely random. However, after doing the first level a few times, we sense that they repeat in a way thats statistically improbable. Its really disappointing that they arent random. Adding such an option would bump our review to 5 stars.
This is part of our morning routine. Keeps our brain sharp and always thinking. We love this brain tool.
Make sure to read instructions for 2-digit answers or you will get them wrong. Great game.
We used few N-back app. But, this is our favorite. Its probably the best one in the App Store. We just wish there was way to get full version.
Great app for building STM and helping qF.
Should include division , square root and cube root apart from that great game.
This app should be used by millions of people. Ive been playing the Mensa Brain Training app for a month, and was completely stagnant on our daily results…after using Mathematical N-back religiously for a week our scores have gone from the 600s to mid 800s. And we feel like thats just the beginning. Thank you to the developer, please keep this app alive for a long time.
Would love to give 5 stars but occasionally would not store our new record (have only experienced so far at 2-backs) so am bummed a bit. Please debug it! :).
We know we have the correct answer but it wont submit and says incorrect.
Smooth app and the most entertaining version Ive played.
