  • Please add the option to turn off the timer

    Being able to turn off the timer would make your game accessible to people with disabilities. I downloaded it for my daughter who is physically disabled. It COULD be a great game for her IF we could turn the timer off. Unfortunately, the timer makes it inaccessible to her since she is not able to complete the games in the time that is allowed. Being able to turn off the timer would also allow people to use it in kind of a β€˜relaxation’ mode. My 2 star review is based entirely on the timer. Other than that, it’s a nice, visually appealing set of games.
  • Needs Instructions and No Timers

    I can’t figure out how to do the game where you match the block patterns. And timers shouldn’t be on games where you need time to think.

    I have been watching the TV show Brain Games with Jason Silva for 4 years. So I saw your game in the App Store. Great game! Just one small thing, I don't get "building blocks" I've been trying to figure it out for years. I just don't get the point. My favorite game on Brain Bean is pattern tiles.

  • Not too hard to figure out

    Yes, it doesn't include instructions but it isn't that hard to figure out. Don't overthink it, it's not as tricky as it may appear at first. It is instinctual so the appropriate user could really be determined not by physical age so much as mental creativity. Think patterns, spelling, logical sequences, matches and "what doesn't belong".

    How do you put out a game without any instructions at all. That's crazy bad. Listen to the real reviewers and fix your app. Too many bugs. I also think you should give us the option to choose how much time should be on the clock and an option to take the timer off. I wanted to find apps that I could teach an autistic adult but he would get way too frustrated with the clock. Also, in your app I tried to contact you by email but that doesn't work either. I think the coders gave up on this app.
  • No instructions

    The games on this app are easy on the eyes, colorful, and inviting. The problem is that there are no instructions whatsoever on how to play each game. I understand that they are meant to be brain games, but what's the point of having a game if you can't figure out how to play? You're only allotted so many seconds for each game, so you're even limited in the time you have to try to figure it out. The description of the app says it's for anyone aged 10-110, so that gives the impression they're easy to figure out, but not so. I asked 3 different children to play, aged 10, 12, and 15. None could figure out how to play all of them. A few of the games were easily figured out , but they struggled with the same games I did.

    has a problem. The instant you solve it, it's gone. Let me have a second or two to enjoy my success!!! Actually, I like this app more every time I play it. Thank you for solving the annoying advertisement issue!
  • For young kids only

    This app is rated for kids 9-11 (4th-6th grade) but the activities seem to be designed for kids much younger than that, perhaps in first grade (I am no expert). Many of the games have no set goal and even the ones that do test EXTREMELY basic skills and some can be easily "gamed". I am extremely skeptical that it would help kids developmentally. Not worth the money for me.
