3★I played 1 game and was offered a "discount" to make the app ad free right away for about $30/year. I chose not to take it and then I played a few levels in 3 different games. The 3rd game was a sorting game. Impulse wanted to keep me playing this game. It set challenges of "beating my peers" but once I hit the challenge it added another with the same game. There were ads after every 2 games and I got tired of it. I didn't get a chance to see if I liked impulse because the ads are so frequent.

4★It's a good app and I enjoy the training! However it's kinda annoying that after paying 50$ for the app that I'm still seeing ads AND if I want the ads gone that's additional. I already spent the money, but this is a warning for others! The app does offer very good brain training games, I haven't been using it long, but hopefully there will be improvement!

1★This is one of the most preditory apps I've seen in a very long time. You get a 3 day trial if you select the 6.99/WEEK sub price. You can pay 39.99 for "lifetime". To avoid paying $28 a month unexpectedly, you must cancel 24hrs+. Making it a 2 day trial that you play 5-15 min a day. And I'll emphasize it's marketed at ADHDers who won't remember any of this until getting charged. It's full of great tests and games that actually are known to work, but at $7 a week and no other options?! Crazy

2★A pretty lazy attempt at "brain training". Some of the games are fun but they are hardly challenging. There are lots of tests for various things like anxiety, stress, personality type, etc. they don't amount to a hill of beans and are fairly inaccurate. with the weekly price tag, this app is the furthest thing from a scientific brain training anything and is more like an expensive way to pass time waiting at a doctor's office. really disappointing.

5★this is my second day playing it. you have the option of doing the training for only your suggested time or you can also do extra games and puzzles too! and the different games and puzzles are super fun and get more difficult as you go. they also have a pretty good variety... I also like the tests that they have that tell you more about yourself. although, I've only done one of those so far. I started with the free trial but even on the first day while playing it, I decided was worth purchasing
