More About Mind Games

A great collection of brain training games. Mind Games is a great collection of games based in part on principles derived from cognitive tasks to help you practice different mental skills. This is the free, ad-supported, version of the hit brain training app. Mind Games includes nearly 3 dozen of Mindware’s brain training games (some of which allow you to play 3 times and require upgrading to play more). All games include your score history and graph of your progress. The games list shows a summary of your best games and today’s scores on all games. Using some principles from standardized testing, your scores are also converted to a comparison scale so that you can see where you need work and excel. You might also be able to notice the effects of various lifestyle factors on your performance through the score history.
Mind Games is also now available on iPhone/iPad and Windows.

Awful, I brought this to check the app out before buying the pro version but only played two games and was constantly interrupted (every 3-4 questions!) with prompts for a subscription, which made it prettymuch unplayable. I'm uninstalling to looked for something better.

Some of the words they want you to place in correct catagory can be interpreted several ways. Example "Tire" could be the tire of a car but could also be a feeling of exhaustion. There are quite a few others. We cannot read the mind of the creator so this part of the test is useless. Uninstall.....

Very impressed. It's extremely engaging and useful for short attention spans such as mine. The games are fun and the scoring makes me want to improve. Kinda addicting ngl and don't let the design or whatever its called (As you can tell I havent played "Vocabulary Star" much yet xd) fool you, because this app is more than looks it's friggen AMAZING behind the meh design. The games are simple to understand yet challenging. THEORY:The 1 star reviews are the people that got low scores

The selection menu design is terrible and messy but the games aren't that bad. Just some annoying noises while playing keeps me distracted and gets me kinda irritated I wish there was an option to stop those without muting the phone or muting the taping sounds.

Useful & entertaining app that challenges you to up your skills. Multi- array of tests that cover a lot of areas even for the free version. Bravo to developers for delivering what you say plus not loading lots of ads that interupt. Appreciate it!

I gave a Traumatic brain injury & find this program very stimulating. I wish it clearly showed how to not keep repeating the same mind game & how to access the other choices! That's my only complaint & I also like the time restrictions on the activities, it encourages one to utilize their abilities more! Great job!!

Very scientifically designed app. If you want to keep your brain active this is the only app. Very less advertising compared to other app in market. Must have app. My autistic son has improved a lot in many areas of his cognitive abilities. Thanks for makers. Regards

The flow of the game and the games are challenging but fun. Very nice to see where I fall into compare to my age group. The amount of adds gets irritating. But an overall great game. Home page needs to be simplified and not look so busy.

since I started playing games from this app, I have definitely noticed an improvement in my memory skills! great games, each one is timed to help, let's you know what needs to be worked on, and different games to help work on certain levels in your brain!

Have only been playing it for a while today and it seems fun and easy to navigate. However regarding the scores I'm not sure what some mean. Accuracy and speed is self explanatory but I don't know what raw and standardized mean? It would be nice if there was a part in the menu explaining all of it.

I don't know what happened or if this is the same game I used to play as a child but the game interface changed dramatically and it's just not aesthetically pleasing. There's a lot of distractions, specially the ads. The pictures should've been icons instead. I'm disappointed but the tests are the real deal.

Im trying to contact some support to solve a problem but and I can't find any plataform. Ive just realized that, the game word memory level 2 has a issue on the points marcs... dosent count right, if you get the answer right or wrong, most of the time you lose at least one point. To make sure I've wrote the word on the paper to check the answers. And the points was still going down.

Great for keeping your mind sharp. Redundancy is key to improving skills and growing synaptic connections in the brain, and to promulgate this growth, the user should be given the option to set a level to practice and reinforce strategies without advancing to a too difficult level is crucial. Repetition is key to improving complex thinking skills.

Amazing app! This breaks down the approach to problem solving and works to identify and improve each aspect piece by piece. It allows you identify strengths and weaknesses and develop learning/problem-solving strategies that capitalize on your particular skill-set! Problems you can't solve? You cant change the way your brain works but... You can change the way you think about the problem, Shift your perspective and let your brain tackle the problem with it's strongest algorithms!

Meh, I used to enjoy this app, just installed it for the first time in a long while and I'm asked for my year of birth (for puzzles? Does this app offer nudes now?) and offered a chance to watch a 60 second ad video if I want to enjoy six whole minutes ad-free? (6 minutes without ads if I watch a 1 minute video? How often are these ads). Declining, of course, gave an ad. Next menu did the same. Totally different GUI dont feel like watching strings of nonstop ads just to figure out what's where.

This app has deteriorated since i first used it 9 years ago or so. Its almost unplayable now because ads pop up constantly & some are hard to get rid of. Plus, most games you have to pay to play! It's now rather childish looking, & some of the memory tests start at way too advanced a level, making it irritating & not helpful at all. Youre not supposed to START at an advanced level, youre supposed to work your way up there. Wish i didnt have to uninstall because I used to love this app.

Challenging and fun. A large variety of quizzes to choose from. I like that I can compare my scores to see if I am improving. I'm a senior and want to keep my brain sharp. My husband and I have had fun doing these together, taking turns with the same game to see who does best. I have also played this with my grandkids, it provided us with lots of laughs. Premium version is well worth the very low price.

Gradually deteriorating. Have new people taken over? Mind Games used to have a professional feel to the UI, despite having an annoying number of ads. Now the interface looks like it was designed by a 10 year old in the 1980s. The newer games seem not to be based on solid research. Needs rigorous usability testing. 6-year user, now uninstalled.

I love the diversity of the games to target different mental skills, and the optional training center that uses your previous scores and amount of time between games to suggest your next one! I just played one they recently released. It was a little different, and fun, but they also asked for feedback. This is the kind of active, supportive development I like to see! 😁
