I really like Neuronation, it creates your profile according to the first few tests and gives you great satisfaction when measuring your progress (or regress), focusing on few most important attributes (memory, attention, logical thinking, speed of thought). The daily tasks and time spent each day is customized and really fun while training. Free version is really enough, but the premium isn't that expansive and the app is worth it.

Waiting for your feedback if you decide to give it a try, good luck

I built a brain training game hub for iOS with daily challenges, leaderboards & adaptive difficulty – curious what you think so far!

Posted by NeuroNudgeApp · in r/IndieDev · 3 months ago

Hey fellow devs 👋
I recently launched my first solo mobile app project on iOS, and I’d love your feedback!

NeuroNudge is a brain training game hub packed with quick mini-games designed to boost memory, focus, reaction time, and problem-solving. Think of it as a more fun, gamified way to replace endless social media scrolling.

🧩 Features:

Daily challenges to stay consistent
Public leaderboards
Detailed stats & adaptive difficulty
10+ fast-paced brain games like:
- Reaction test
- Pattern recognition
- Memory squares
- Word scramble
- Mental math
- And more!

I’d love to hear what you think, which games you enjoy most, and what you'd add next!

What differentiates your game from something like Peak?

1 upvotes on reddit

willdone · 3 months ago

What research is this based on?

2 upvotes on reddit

NeuroNudgeApp · OP · 3 months ago

Thanks for asking! NeuroNudge doesn’t claim to “raise IQ” or replace professional cognitive therapy, but it’s inspired by a growing body of evidence that structured, targeted practice can support mental agility, memory, and focus over time.

The app pulls from several areas of cognitive science:

🧠 1. Brain Training Can Improve Certain Skills Research like the ACTIVE study (Ball et al., 2002) and meta-analyses (Karbach & Verhaeghen, 2014) show that targeted training — especially in memory and processing speed — can lead to real, measurable improvements, particularly when done consistently.

🎯 2. Variety Matters NeuroNudge includes different types of games (logic, memory, math, etc.) because cognitive flexibility improves more with varied challenges than with repetitive drills. → (See: Green & Bavelier, 2008; Morrison & Chein, 2011)

📊 3. Motivation Drives Progress Progress tracking, achievements, and adaptive difficulty help keep users engaged — which is key to any cognitive benefit. Regular, intentional effort makes all the difference.

More than anything, though — I made NeuroNudge as an alternative to mindless scrolling. It’s something quick and fun you can do daily that feels like you’re investing in yourself, even if just for a few minutes.

If you’d like, I’m happy to share specific peer-reviewed studies or white papers behind the design. Appreciate the interest!

Thanks so much for letting me try out your brain games app! I’m not a techie, so my feedback is mostly from a user experience standpoint.

Overall, I really like the concept, especially the leaderboard feature. It adds a fun, competitive edge and definitely encourages repeat visits.

A few quick thoughts:

Game Progression: Some games, like Memory Match, feel a bit unfinished. Instead of just offering a reset button, it might help to automatically promote users to the next level once they complete a round. This would create a greater sense of momentum and accomplishment. Memory Squares handles this really well and it’s my favorite game so far!

Mental Math: Right now it seems like a never-ending loop of individual questions. I’d suggest offering a timed set (e.g., 60 seconds to answer as many as possible). Right now it appears to allow 60 seconds per question. That change would allow users to set personal bests and try to beat them, which could be more motivating.

Reaction Time: A personal leaderboard or progress tracker showing how a user’s current score for each individual game compares to their previous ones might keep them engaged and encourage improvement over time.

You’ve got a solid foundation here, and with a few tweaks to the game flow and feedback systems, I think this could become really addictive - in a good way! If you want to scope out some competition, I use an app that is similarly themed. Happy to DM you the name (starts with an E - no affiliation) but don’t want to detract from your thread.

Thanks again for the opportunity to test it out!

I built a brain training app to help reduce mindless scrolling – Giving away 1-month Premium to 20 users! 🎉

Posted by NeuroNudgeApp · in r/ProductivityApps · 2 months ago

Hey everyone! 👋

I recently built NeuroNudge, a brain training app for iOS designed to help improve focus, memory, and reaction time with quick, daily mini-games.

The reason?
I found myself mindlessly scrolling way too much (TikTok, Instagram… you know the drill 😅) and wanted something more productive to do during short breaks.

🧠 What’s inside NeuroNudge:

12+ fast-paced mini-games (memory, reaction, logic, math puzzles, etc.)
Daily challenges to keep it interesting
Personal stats tracking
Public Game Center leaderboards
Offline play support
Clean light & dark mode interface

🎁 The Giveaway:
I’m giving away 1-month Premium (ad-free version) to the first 20 people who comment or DM me a screenshot of them playing any of the games.

You can grab the app here (free to download):
👉 https://apps.apple.com/no/app/neuronudge-brain-games/id6743054000?l=nb

Just play any game for a minute or two, take a quick screenshot, and send it over. 👍

If you try it, I’d love feedback on the gameplay, UI, or any ideas you’d like to see added next!

Thanks for reading! 🙌

I started with Lumosity then moved toward BrainHQ / DualNBack. I feel like Lumosity is a better designed site with better graphic artists, but the training can be rather gamey / gimmicky, where it's like... if I wanted to play games, I'd rather play legit games (like Starcraft or whatever latest FPS is trending... or even some challenging NES game.) BrainHQ seems to be a little more focused on generalized "brain skills" that might translate to other areas.

I recommend checking out Elevate on android / ios. It's not the end-all, but a pretty nice complementary app that fits a nice niche.

Right now, I'm dabbling with quite a few paid ones.

I have elevate on my phone -- I like this one because it's language-based, which I'm fairly weak at (eg. listening comprehension.) On my computer, I have brain workshop (dual n-back), which I like because it actually seems to improve my overall attention. Then, I'm using BrainHQ + Cambridge Brain Sciences. CBS is nice because it actually evaluates current cognitive ability fairly accurately / acutely, where all the others seem to have these huge trend lines that are slow moving and largely increase by time spent on their site.

I scheduled these out so I do each one twice a week. This is enough data such that anything beneficial via biohacks / exercise / lifestyle should be very noticeable. It takes ~20m/d, maybe about what you could spend meditating (which I also do a couple times a week.)

Elevate has a decent amount of math problems that are fairly practical (eg. What's the annual total for $12.50 every month -- answer in less than 10 seconds.) I'm also dabbing with mathtrainer.org.

What's nice is these break down the solution when you get it wrong. Like 12x12 is 144, plus 12/2 = 150.

Dual n-back is used as a measurement tool. It crudely measures if a therapy is working on your working memory. In regards to "brain games," (e.g. luminosity, etc) they only make you better at that game. They don't impact your general functioning in the real world.

Get better results with help of some persistent training. (app?)

Posted by Firm-Ant6983 · in r/cognitiveTesting · 5 months ago

Hey,

I'm researching different apps that claim to improve your cognitive skills and so far what I see:

All of the "Brain training" is kinda pointless - those games are nothing more than a simple hyper casual content created to keep you occupied for 5 - 10 mins. With A LOT of ads.

Apps that are well crafted and actually have some sense are rare and people point out:

NYT Games - clean experience and clever problems to solve
Easybrain games (nonograms/sudoku - at least they try to look professional and they give you a challenge that is less of a game and more of a "problem"
"Word-games" (like Words of wonder) gives you some stimulation but after a while they become gradually more tedious and provide less stimulus.

Anyone here use those mentioned above ?
Is there something else that is at least semi-decent ?

I think it's just like any muscle with the exception of growing it/"increasing IQ". By doing maths frequently, your brain has all the math problems/solutions readily available because you've basically trained it to expect it, you could apply this to spotting lions/plant variations, the more you see one the easier it is to spot the shape/colour changes even if not consciously aware - "something was nagging me to go back". In the same way that people might be bed ridden for so long their muscles lose strength, so long as it's just that, they can still walk or start once they use the muscles again.

I used to do brain training things on and off, I may learn something new but it's only speed/accuracy which improves over time, I self dx with ADHD so my concentration has noticeably improved by the end but I think that's because I want to get it over with lol since I'm still disinterested in topics I should work on.

Damnit. I started focussing on it when the DS Brain Training came out, so that would have been maybe 50% of my time over 6-12 months, while the rest was just me setting ~30 minutes aside on random sites that I found, I'd like to think being an early internet person and the challenges compared to an IQ test felt similar - still challenged me, but can't claim to anything official. All based on if I picked up the DS pretty much too - sorry.

I don't have it anymore to check back specifics but I remember the age ranges it gave and that would improve/lower depending on how much I had done those particular challenges, the longer I'd focused on logic, the lower my math score next time - I'd change topics each week and tried to mix it too. I'm not great by any means so it's all self comparison and when I feel I've hit my limit vs distraction/something, and I tried to do it honestly for me.

The only thing I've ever seen any evidence for is relational frame training (RFT). The evidence wasn't very good, at least in my opinion, but it's the best that's out there. The downside to RFT is that it's boring as all hell, and the free stuff is unstructured so you're basically guessing as to what will work. From what I understand though, so long as you're improving on speed and/or complexity, you may see results.

The studies surrounding it make claims of over 15 IQ points, which sounds like a lot but in reality the absolute difference in intelligence between 100 IQ and 115 IQ is probably like 5%. Which, don't get me wrong, that's quite a lot because society is structured in a way that's pretty sensitive to intelligence, especially over time, but you should manage your expectations. From what I recall, the recommendation is 3 sessions per week, about 25 minutes per session. Link below to the free stuff. There are probably videos or articles out there that have more detail with regard to training regimens and what not.
