Stopped working
I paid for this app and now I can't use it. "Play Now" isn't active so the app won't even begin. When it works I definitely recommend this app.

Description
Strong Mind Puzzles is a game designed to challenge your brain. In her 35 years of cognitive restructuring practice, Dr. Markus created a series of paper-and-pencil puzzles to explore new ways to challenge the brain and rehearse cognitive abilities. To reach beyond her clinical practice, these puzzles were converted to a mobile format which provide numerous, varied opportunities for learning.
Effective problem-solving and decision-making is based, at least in part, on the number of variables a problem solver or decision maker is capable of evaluating.
With deliberate rehearsal, individuals can learn to increase the number of variables that they use to make a decision.
-- Why Finding Mistakes Develops Critical Thinking Behaviors
Strong Mind Puzzles can help reduce mistakes. Think about what happens when you make a mistake. You become emotionally attached to the mistake. As a result, this emotional investment makes it difficult to examine results objectively. Such reasoning helps explain why we are better at catching other people's mistakes than our own errors.
These puzzles give you practice in identifying and learning to anticipate errors. When you are comparing and contrasting images you search for mistakes. With practice, this develops an error-detection reflex.

Crashes instantly
Waste of time trying to run this app.

Crash... It should be an auto app.
It never opened once.

Challenging
The challenge is scoring well within the time limit. The higher levels require a very structured thought process.

Actually, I am unable to rate this app because the sound does not work. Is there a bug of some kind that needs to be fixed?

Saw the review below and had to post
I always played this game on my friends iPod, and I just bought it today. The levels are not incredibly hard like the prior post says, but the game is really challenging if you try to complete each level as fast as you can. At first, each level took me a while to do, maybe 4:00, but now I am able to complete each level in under 2:00. Hope this helps, and I would definitely suggest buying the game. It is fun, and a nice little challenge when you have some downtime.

Unimpressed..
The nine levels of difficulty are not very challenging. I love the concept and the fact that it says the test is used by scientists and engineers sounded promising, but even on level 9 I barely broke a mental sweat..

Not worth it
There are only 9 levels. It us effortless and you will be done the entire app in 15 min. Don't bother with this one.

Awesome
My math tutor told me to get this app because it is suppose to challenge a bunch of my brain that I usually don't challenge and therefore smarter and it is really great he is also a big admirer of the woman who designed it

Amazing and fun
I love the colors. I like being able to do this when I'm waiting in airports especially. It helps the time go by and I feel I am using a part of my brain that doesn't get challenged.
I want to know when the next level will come out!

So many levels, easy to challenging!
It's so nice to have a puzzle app that actually makes me think in more ways than one! While the graphics are simple, the puzzles are complicated. If you want to challenge yourself, I fully recommend it.
