Mensa Brain Training App Reviews

Good use of time. The puzzles are actually challenging and help improve focus and memory. No ads makes it so much better to use. Better than spending time on mind numbing games.

Amazing!!. My IQ has gone up more than 43,000 points since starting this.

What’s the MBI based on?. I like it but the patterns are repetitive. I would need to see new fresh things every week or two to do this daily with my ADHD brain. I also do not understand what the score is based against so I don’t know how good I am actually doing. For example is 500 MBI equivalent to 130 IQ? I have no reference so I can’t feel the reward from doing it.

Focus levels. I’m young, and was born during the technology era so I have a low attention span and it made it difficult for me to focus on a book. Now I’m much more focused and I am breezing through books!

Payment method. How do I pay you for my subscription ?

Beware! Will charge your account a subscription. Warning!. Apple needs to remove these thinly veiled apps created just to get you into a auto renewing subscription. I wanted to use the app but you have to agree to receiving email spam and paying a subscription. You have been warned.

Fantastic. Great brain food. My job requires attention to minute details and these workouts really fine tune the machine.

Good one - need more variety. The games are all good. But we are fast learners, so after a while it feels all known. So please add more varieties. Thanks

Enjoy it + notice cognitive improvement. I honestly notice a cognitive improvement when using app vs not.

HB214 - Still The Best!. Please keep it updated, i enjoy how each game encourages the brain to process each challenge!

Solid app/lame paid option. Very measurable difference in my cognitive abilities. It is reverberating throughout my everyday life at this point. I can literally feel the heightened level of critical thinking within my decision making process. I wish the paid features were free.

Varied brain games. This app teaches and train my brain in many ways, shapes, colors, numbers and other weird ways. As opposed to crossword and sudoku, this twists my brain from all angles and keeps me engaged through many ways of thinking.

First day but already addicted. What made me interested in the app in the first place was knowing it’s scientifically designed to improve cognition. In other words, it’s not just fun and games... although it IS fun, and I’ve already played multiple times this morning, this afternoon, and this evening... and it’s just Day01.

Greatest Variety of Training. I really feel like how these games forces me to focus and concentrate. I am working on my memory and this helps.

Fun, but some complaints. I enjoy playing this. However, there are a few issues. The subscription isn’t a plus, but I’ll focus on the game itself. The Tanagram Puzzle is a major issue. There are many times where you have no idea which shapes to choose, because there are absolutely spots where shapes will fit, but they are apparently “wrong”. They need to make this game more clear; maybe change it so you have to drag the shapes in place until you complete a puzzle? Also, with Shape Sums, there are often two correct combinations when the numbers begin to get higher. However, only one is counted as right. They need to ensure that they only provide one correct option, or, if they do decide to put two correct options, make sure they both count. Otherwise, I’ve enjoyed playing this. Keep up the good work!

Intelligent mental exercises. Are you interested in spending your free time improving your thinking skills? If yes, then Mensa is the right tool for you. Don’t spend your leisure time in mindless Solitaire when you can improve your mental skills with fun exercises.

Challenging but fun. I like how it is challenging and requires the perfect amount of time to work on it every day. This is really nice if you were just looking for 5 to 10 minutes every day of getting that brain exercise in.

Brain damage. I have short term memory issues and I have been getting better at remembering patterns every day. I still have good and bad days but I am improving. Everyone should push to get better even if you’re not having any problems.👍🏻👍🏻

Best bang for your buck. This is a great app. I find when I do it daily I’m definitely sharper. I also do better on tests. It’s a lot better of a deal than what you’ll find on some of the other brain training apps. If you keep it up it is definitely worth your subscription.

Milks Subscribers. I bought the app in May 29, 2021 for a two-year subscription. After a week of using it, the app required me to go through the tutorial everytime I log-in and after completing the tutorial and assessment, it would require me to sign-up for a subscription. Apple remind me everytime that I already paid for it, thankfully. Nonetheless, I am stuck with a trial version even when I already paid for a subscription. I contacted their support services and did not hear anything afterward. I wish I can have my subscription restored or get my money back.

Great App for Brain Agility and Processing. I’ve used several apps because my work is so redundant it dulls the mind. The other apps are paid services. Yet they do not challenge my mind as effectively as this one. The workouts are by far more nuanced and dynamic. Two thumbs up for Mensa!

Fun, but should I pay?. I’ve really liked playing the games and I feel that it has made me more alert. I am in the free trial period now and it seems like the patterns are repetitive in each game. Do you get more options if you pay for the app? I feel like I would get bored in a month or two of daily training even if I never got a perfect score. I can’t find the information anywhere.

Becoming unchallenging - doesn't scale difficulty. Can you make a switch for a harder mode? Or can it gradually increase difficulty? It always starts super low and doesnt work well on gradual growth through it's limited plays stages like "Square Sequences". Also it's frustrating that if I mess up once it sets the challenge-level back to beginner. Like I'm an idiot. It's not balanced right to encourage good growth in it's community even tho these games are fantastic. Can we fix this?

Mensa games. These are a lot of fun and you can do them anywhere.

It works. After just the first day of training my score jumped instantly

Yes!!. This is an amazing app! I don’t have any problems with it whatsoever. Not only is it fun, it’s helpful, too! It’s a great use of my time.

Good training. I have enjoyed using this app to hopefully forestall my memory loss. My only reason for not giving the fifth star is that the instructions are occasionally less than clear. My thanks to those who have created this tool!

YOU CAN REVISIT WRONG ANSWERS. On the training option you can take a practice test and at completeion there is an option to review answers, from there you can choose the q and a and at the top right hand side of screen press why and it explains it and why your answer was wrong.

Great to keep the brain active!. I set it up for my elderly mom to keep her brain active. She uses it everyday!

Better than normal app games!. This game becomes addictive like popular games (i.e. Candy Crush) and others. The exercises stimulate the mind while still remaining relaxing. This is a must try app!

I really like this app!. I use this app after my morning workout. It’s my one two combo for getting my mind and body going for the day. 👍 The games are challenging and entertaining especially when trying to surpass your previous score. Special shout out to the support team. You guys are fantastic!

Subscription based - not indicated up front. AFTER you give your email to create an account, the only way to use this is to sign up for emails and utilize the free trial subscription. Find something else that has a free version and a premium version. This is only good if you want to give up your personal info for a week trial and then possibly subscribing.

Silouhettes is full of flaws. The tangram puzzle is probably the only brain game I’ve ever done that probably makes you less intelligent. It makes zero sense why they give you multiple right angle triangles to choose from as possible and answers and have you guess which one is the right answer. Terrible flaw

got locked out can't get back in. All I need is them to send me a text or email with a way to get back in. Every time I try to do it it says there's something wrong. I paid for this app and haven't been able to use it for months. When it worked, it was great, now it's a piece of junk unless I hear from them. Hello?

Fun Brain Games!. I look forward to my daily brain training with this app. I downloaded it when I was traveling and it was a great distraction from our travel delays.

Better than snood. I don’t feel like my brain is rotting when I play this game.

Great Tool. This is an excellent way to evaluate yourself, especially when you are chronically sleep deprived like me. I am learning the things I need to do to optimize my brain's performance for daily living in a competitive world.

Love it!. Great way to stay sharp. Pretty inexpensive and definitely worth it!

Quick way to sharpen your brain. I enjoy the app. I can see my progress and I like that feature. It’s quick to test and train.

Pleased. This is great to push your self and exercise your mind.

Keeping sharp. A couple months after retiring, I noticed a slight decline in my brain functions. Brain Training restored and improved my brain’s functionality. Just like any muscle: Use it or lose it! Enjoy!

Poor graphic design. Idk of this works to train your brain or not but if I can’t compare my scores to the average I’ll never know how I’m really doing. Also it looks painfully ugly

Mensa. I love Mensa...the best brain training...I’m feeling smarter all the time...kudos to the developers for a fantastic app..I feel the synapses firing every time I play this game!!

Great brain training app. I’ve played them all and this one Up there with the best of them. Plus it’s from MENSA so…of course it is!👍👍👍

This is the best replacement for scrolling. I started with the free trial and after the seven days it restarted, and I was so heartbroken that my progress had been lost until I remembered that my progress was in my mind. Immediately logged on started a new account and purchased the full version and I can confidently say that I enjoy this game so much. I love Mensa. Thank you for not bombarding me with ads even during my free trial. That is one of the biggest motivating factors to actually pull the trigger purchase, not to mention $.67 a month is an amazing deal! Thank you!

This app us really fun and helpful. I got the app and tried it out and loved it. Then i got the subscription ( super cheap) used all the features and my mbi score rose by 30 between the first day and now im addicted 😭love this app

Some games are challenging, it’d be nice if there were a free version. You get a free trial but have to pay for it after a week. Also, the word color game is repetitive and not very challenging.

The Best Brian App EVER. I can't believe how much fun this app is, it focuses on important things like patterns and memory, it is such an amazing educational app, it is nothing like the scams and phony brain games out there! It is defiantly amazing, I highly recommend purchasing a subscription, I did and I love it!

Fun but a little frustrating. Overall fun to play. Some of the shape questions have multiple answers but it will only accept one. That gets very frustrating. Other games are fun.

The Subscription. Overall I think this is a pretty fun app, however, I’m disappointed that you can’t do anything on it anymore without a subscription. You can only play 2 of the games now without a subscription, and there really isn’t enough on the app (yet at least) to buy the subscription.

Nola Bola. Great this gives ones mind a run for "the money" Recommend it.

Simon. Wonderful app; truly increases the intelligence. Perhaps, if the addition of comparing between MENSA's result and the opposite-equivalent value on the IQ scale would be considered, the app would be perfect unanimous.

Great game. This game is a lot of fun to play, I could literally play for hours, but the game seems to crash quite a lot , mainly after completing a game and if it does crash your score isn't saved. Great game otherwise.

Highly Recommended. This is a very clear easy to use brain training app. It has already helped me enormously. I suffered brain trauma in a motor vehicle accident and have been looking around for an app to help me recover. These exercises are exactly right. Well done. Deb.

Fun App. I enjoy the problem solving but it is annoying when submitting the answers that they have to be in exactly the right format eg I work out that the next number in a series is 5 but I have to enter five in the answer box to be correct.

Fun and addictive. A nice daily challenge to wake up to.

Compliment. This is very different iq training, like that.

Different brain training. I use a few different apps to mix things up and not become complacent. This one has a number of different games and I am really enjoying it 👍🏻

Quite entertaining. It is suitable to fill-in five minute gaps during the day and give your brain a jog. It's not for experienced problem solvers, because there is nothing unique about the puzzles after you've played each exercise a couple of times. You do get more challenging variations of the same puzzles as you improve.

Very enjoyable.. Living this brain training game. Finding it quite challenging and different types of games than other brain training apps I use. Thanks.

I was hoping for more. I have an iPad Air2 and this App keeps on crashing after every exercise. It wouldn't even let me know my score, brings me back to my home and I have to do it all over again. I was thinking of buying a subscription, but it is definitely not worth it like this. Too bad because I love Mensa exercises and tests and I was really hoping to find a very good App for them.

Awesome. Worth getting app

Mbi. Great games, always challenging.

Doesn't work. Filled in info to sign up and keeps crashing, doesn't work at all!!!

Nope. Unfortunately this app has taken my subscription and remains locked. I tried to contact support but nope. Very disappointed 👎🏼

Yes!!!. Fantastic app and great customer service.

Good. Love it

Dr sukmyballs. Running hard now

Excellent!. Love this app. I can see the difference in my thinking already. Would love an extension with new challenges.

Actually improves cognitive ability. I used this app several times and am still using it and I find that my memory actually improves each time. I hunky recommend this to anyone who would like to increase their iq. 👍

Awesome. Worth the money really fun

Feeling smarter already. I love brain training exercises and this one is certainly one of the best. I'm loving it 😄

Not impressed. This app wasn't that great to begin with without having to pay to use it

For Entertainment Only. For entertainment purposes it’s decent app. But be aware there is no evidence that these exercises will increase your intelligence (this is what the research tells us). However, it would be great if the developers could add some more games, for the sake of variety.

Needs new exercises. I’ve been doing this daily for several years, there has not been any new exercises added in that time. I would suggest more variety, as it has become quite boring.

Broken. App is broken

Loving to challenge. Loving the challenge to improve my score. It is actually making a difference.

G-G-G-Gia. The interface is nothing to gag over

Fun. Just started using this app, and I findit a fun way to get the grey matter working

Good exercise. It’s a clear, easy to use & understand this app. One of a few highly recommended brain training apps I’ve come across.

Addicting. If you're going to waste time, at least work in your concentration.

Gut aep. I lik tis aep and it's veri fan too plai

Great app. Addictive and challenging.

Hangs and crashes. Doesn’t work, lousy app

Great brain training. Trying ...

Enjoyable. It’s fun once you get into it.

SCAM ALERT- Lost $20 upgrading. I bought the full upgrade for $20 - after 1 month I get locked out and there is no one to contact to unlock it. Also it records the same score for different tests!!!! Very poor quality - so beware fake 5 star reviews.

Great app. Excellent app

Login required, no thanks. Mandatory login = uninstall

Sent From Mensa. I am taking my Mensa Supervised test in a few months, they directed all applicants to download this and another app to practice. Thanks, I’m not disappointed!

Well done...but. Worth to buy it, however I would like to see more updates with new games since they are asking a recurring payments

Great. A real challenge. 😅

Not working. It is not working. Total score is the same doesn't matter how many mistakes you made.

I’m smarter than ever. Thank you so much I have improved on my memory perception and all other categories

Love it!. Great fun!

Great!. Great app really good for people who want brain exercises

Very stimulating!. Good app!

I like it. This is the review part

Great time killer!. This is a great thing to do if you are bored because not only does it boost your memory, reflexes, concentration, etc. but some of the games are fun.

I like this program.. I suffered a car accident in 2010. I was missed diagnosed. With a lot of determination and perseverance, I have been working with the Brain Injury Program at Parkwood hospital in London, Ontario. It is my memory and processing information that has been effected. I have come a long way. This program is very helpful in helping me to exercise that part of my brain. Thank you Nancy

Train your brain !. Here is an antidote to the famous attention dispersion we are all suffering from due to too many distractions and various sources of inputs. You can recover your concentration !

Very fun. Love the small game!

Yinyang. Instantaneous thoughts

Amazing Application!!. I am so happy that I took the time to download this app. It's only been two days, but I love it!!

Mensa Brain Training. Excellent app!

Addictive!. I never play computer games. Today I tried this app and now I'm hooked! Second best thing (after reading a good book) to do while on public transportation or while waiting. It's really entertaining.

Jouer en travaillant. Ca fait du bien

Work out for the Brain. Great Brain training tool!!

Great learning. This app is very yet educational at the same time and I love the daily test to see how I am improving!!!

In honey comb recall it doesn’t let me memorise. It doesn’t

Forced spam. Not only are you required to create an account before you can proceed to the seven day trial (still unsure of the subscription cost), but it is set up in a way that forces you to check off a box asking if you are over 18 AND if you would like future updates/notifications/spam. Will be deleting immediately.

Fun app. Great for killing time.

Excellent. I am Enjoying it

Good brain training. I am training everyday

Best iq games. Loving it

Very fun. This is a great game and gets your brain working!!!

Challenging. Challenging in a good way

BEWARE. I took advantage of the discount offered for the upgrade. However, after they took the money for the upgrade, they advised that the functions were locked. The only thing offered was a comparison with other subscribers. Save your money and stick with the free app. You get zero for an upgrade. Also. They do not answer e-mails. My contact here was Adrian Baritt. However, I-Tu Es came to my rescue with a refund.

Great app. Loving it so far, great application and no forced reviews or annoying pop ups, well done

Too Aggressive. Before you can get an idea of what they have to offer they make you fill out information to set up an account. Brain games are an Industry filled with scam artists, even by well-known company’s. For example Rosetta Stone shut down there Fit Brains Business rather than risk being sued by the government. Lumosity did get sued by the U.S. Government. What I’m getting at here is Brain games shouldn’t blame their potential customers for being sceptical, and they should go out of their way to gain the trust of there customers. Asking for my information up front without giving me any information about what this app has to offer is not a good way to gain a customers trust, in an industry that should be going above and beyond to do so. In fact it’s exactly what I would expect if the Mensa brand was just selling out there name in order to make money. I really hope that’s not true, because if you can’t even count on an organization built for the smartest people in the world to be decent honest people, then humanity really is doomed.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Misleading. Looks like a free app. It is for 7 days, then you need a subscription. No thanks.

Good for my brain. Enjoyable and challenging!

Love it!. Love it!

Shady app. App is not free. Requires you to subscribe. It needs to say this up front in the description and be more clear about it.

Correcting Mistakes. I enjoy this test very much but would like it better if you knew what mistakes you made and how to correct them .

Fun games. Nice originality - I've never played anything like the snowflake game before. Good mix of games to improve different areas (memory, focus, problem solving, etc). Fun and gets results - my ability to handle certain challenges has made a marked improvement after playing just several days. I might want to see the developer add more games since it's not one time purchase but subscription.

Subscription. You have to pay a monthly subscription to utilize. Good app but I’d rather watch a short ad like other apps than pay money monthly.

Fun & Thought Provoking. This is a fun and thought provoking app that is excellent exercise for one’s brain.

Rip off. I paid for a year of this app and was cut off after a month.

Good training. I felt it really hit all the areas on the test.

Very good. Good

Great App!. Helping with issues related to ADHD! Continue the good work!

Mr. Keeps u engaged and sharpens your memory. Wish it was free.

Love it!. Great way to stay sharp. Pretty inexpensive and definitely worth it!

Mind Matters. I just love boosting my mind up.

Trial. Immediately pushes you to go on a trial, which I suppose will lead to auto-subscription.I don’t know about the app quality, because after that I deleted the app. There is no free version at all.

unable to create an account. The app won’t let create an account and use it because it says I am not 18, even though I am in my 30s.

Fantastic!!!. Great overall training for the brain, no issues, very challenging, and for the price? It's a great game, I own every brain game out there and this one for the money, it's a no brainer, no punt intended!! One recommendation to the Developer: please make each challenge longer and set countdown, 10 second clock Thank you!!

Best Brain Training App. I have been a paid subscriber of both Lumosity and this app. I have to say that not only have I found this app more challenging and engaging, but it has proven to be much more effective for what it is intended to do. Not only this, but it is also much more affordable as a paid app. Overall, I highly recommend it.

S C Stone. Love trying to score better each time.

Won’t let me creat a password. I would love try but the app won’t let me put in a password

Great games make you really think and react quickly. Love it

Great to keep IQ mind firing - great brain workout. Thanks!

Accepting emails required. Forces you to tick a box stating that you are over 18 and the same box accepts email spam. No.

Love it. It’s useful and fun. Thank you for making this app.

Great app b/c:. Great app because it will measure with a mix of the games and then you can reorder and play games that are suited to areas you may need to work on. You can easily see if you're doing better than you did last time you attempted that game. It's encouraging to know if you're getting better. Especially when playing games for better memory reasoning and focus, etc. App is well designed.

Great game!. This game is very fun and challenging at the same time. I recommend it highly, as well as the American Mensa Brain Test, which is MUCH more challenging. In this game, you can play different games that test your ability in five areas. You can also test your MBI on a daily basis and track your performance.

Kim. Love this it’s hard but I love a challenge!

Need update.. I cannot access the bottom portion of the screen.

Love Mensa Games. Love to workout my brain and compete to get better

So distracting. You can’t turn the sound off. I can’t focus! Definitely not friendly to neurodivergent folks!

Deleted after 5 minutes. Poorly designed, confusing, and exploitative

Challenging and fun. I have enjoyed these fun and challenging games. They have motivated me to take a Mensa practice test.

I like it!. I really enjoy this app. While I haven’t yet purchased.

Suspicions. I think that the brain index I supposed to gradually increase to keep you training on the app, or to buy the full app if you're just using the trial. My brain index scores were relatively high (900 range) and then I simply answered one question on the test, and let it continue for the two minutes. Surprisingly the score it gave me was a 748 , which is higher then scores I've gotten before when I've completely missed the questions but taken the test seriously to practice. Very suspicious, and these sort of inconsistencies can put the entire validity of the app itself into question.

Didn't get to play. Has you create an account before telling you it's a subscription service = not free. Never played because I don't know what I'm getting into with that (how to cancel, how much after the 7day trial is over) recommend at least letting users play the app a bit before asking to subscribe and be up front about the subscription status of the app. Maybe Apple can create a new category for apps that make money as services rather than ads, in app purchases, or an up front cost because I feel like I just gave up my information for no reason.

Poor graphic design. Idk of this works to train your brain or not but if I can’t compare my scores to the average I’ll never know how I’m really doing. Also it looks painfully ugly

Love game SO MUCH!!!!???!?!. This game is so great! Whoever made this game (MENSA) is a genius!!!!!

Doesn’t work on my iPad.. Maybe it’s a test that I failed, but after going through the initial instructions, there’s a button to begin playing but nothing happens.

Amazing!!. My IQ has gone up more than 43,000 points since starting this.

No support. I’ve emailed twice. I paid for a subscription, it was taken out of my account...a week later and now response to any emails and app still says “subscription required.

Fun brain games.... To get your marble rolling.

Not worth the subscription. The app is extremely basic yet they want to charge a monthly fee.

SCAM!. This app barely loads and then have to go through beginner tests again each time I try to use it. Trying to unsubscribe but app won’t let me. DON’T INSTALL!

Fix the tengram section. Your tengram puzzles are screwed up. The wrong shape or item facing the wrong direction is selected in the tutorial as wrll as in puzzle.

Incredible results. I was using this app to prepare for an iq test (btw im 12) and i scored 150! Great way to train your brain and raise intelligence

Go for it! Everything official!. The best app from the high IQ society.

Not free. Can’t play anything. Only a 7 day trial.

Love it. It’s fun.

Asad Chow. As a beginner I am impressed by the test. Hope it will be more convincing ahead.
