Description
Exercise Your Brain! This is the unlimited, ad-free, version of the hit brain training app. 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 app includes all of Mindware’s brain exercising games. All games include your score history and graphs of your progress. The main app shows a summary of your best games and today’s scores on all games. Using some principles of standardized testing, your scores are also converted to a comparison scale so that you can see where you need work and excel. The Training Center selects games for you to play in order to maximize your progress and enjoyment.
Mind Games incorporates Mindfulness exercises. Previous research has shown that Mindfulness may provide improvements in focus, working memory, and mental flexibility for some. Research indicates that there may also be emotional benefits of Mindfulness. The app provides instruction on how to use Mindfulness during game play and in your life. Other activities are recommended that previous research suggests may help cognition for some (such as aerobic exercise). You may also learn new memory strategies. No scientific research has yet been conducted to determine if the app’s particular implementation of Mindfulness and brain training games has cognitive benefits. At a minimum you can have fun challenging your mind with our games, learning a new meditation practice, learning about strategies that may enhance your retention of information, and gaining knowledge in the knowledge-based activities.
Languages available: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, Turkish & Italian.

Cool Brain Game App
I really enjoy all the various ways to keep your brain fit. The games are fun and challenging, especially against the clock. 📓🐭
2017-06-27
Variety
I like this game for the many sub-games it provides. It offers several brain activities so I don't get bored.
The only improvement I'd make is offering more levels in individual games. I've played for a month and have reached a 99.9% achievement level on a few games
2017-06-23
Mind Games

2017-06-15
I got the Pro version
I like this app so much I got the Pro version. It's totally worth the $4.99!
2017-06-12
Best value
This brain exercise app is the best one for the money. $5 to buy and you can play endless games as long as u want! Affordable, challenging, fun.

A lot of fun to play; I don't really know if the long term results are there, but it can't hurt
2017-05-08
Need more games
Great app. Fun games. But need more of them with more variety.
2017-04-30
Awesome
Love the twist and turns.
2017-04-30
Great
Just the kind of mental exercise I was looking for.
2017-04-30
Awesome Sauce
This is the best game ever!! I love training my brain. This is for all the people who get bored with regular games.
2017-04-23
Great App!
This app contains many different cognitive assessments with motivations to improve. Even the simplest of games have application, such as focus or attention. A great mindful workout!
2017-04-14
Great game!
I enjoy this game! Better than wasting time on games that aren't helping build skills

Enjoy the Games but Don't Understand Scoring! FRUSTRATING
I was between 3 or 4 stars but I opted with "3" because, while I enjoy playing the games I don't get the scoring for all the games and there's no good explanation besides "keep playing and your score will improve with time." Most games I have had the same score since I started playing them well over a year ago. I've been at very advanced to extremely advanced with many of the games since I began playing, (theoretically my score should still improve though), but others I can't figure out how it is even possible to improve my score and I never do.
Vocabulary Power and Memory Match are two I find most frustrating for this reason. No matter how quickly I complete the game my best score does not change. They state in the scoring explanation area that it can take months to see an improvement in score but I've been playing regularly for over a year without improving my score with these games. I know time is not supposed to be a factor for Vocabulary Power but I can never get past 40 questions, so I tried answering faster but no matter how quickly I answer my max score - Classification: Advanced Standard Score: 121 and in the 92 percentile. It never shows more than 40 questions and the questions don't seem harder so how does my score improve? The same is true for Memory Match my maximum score is always the same whether I complete it in 90 seconds or three minutes.
I like doing the games but I'm not at all convinced there's any science behind them. They are like all other brain teasers, puzzles crossword puzzles, Sudoku and the like. I enjoy the games so I will continue playing but I don't believe playing these games will improve brain function more than other activity that stimulates the mind.

Fun enough
Decent app. Games are easy enough to play.
2017-03-08
Great Value
This game doesn't drain your bank account with recurring fees. It has a variety of games to work different parts of the brain. Recommended.
2017-02-26
Day starter
Great way to start the mind! Lots of different approaches.
2017-02-20
Great refresher for the mind
I used to play this app on my bus ride home from work and would get home feeling refreshed. It's like a workout for the mind - it feels like a chore at first but after a few games I feel great!
2017-02-16
The Best App I Own
Rarely ever do I buy apps but this one I did and have never regretted it. With dementia running in my family I am constantly finding ways to exercise my brain. This is by far the best and easiest way I've found to date. Up there with Lumosity but more affordable. Love it!
2017-02-11
Love it !
Great find! Seems like I can feel my brain stretching out!
2017-02-09
Sissy
I love this app. I have been in a coma plus I have lost my memory. And I have almost died twice.
So. Yes I definitely want to make sure that everyone that does like to improve their memory and use their brain.
Please!!!!!! Try this app at least once.
I have only been able to play the first game.
Thank you so much for creating this game!!!!!
My only hope is that when you do have an update. Please add more levels to play.
Thank you very much for creating this game.
Thank you once again.
Because this game has to be the best game I have played so far.
2017-01-23
Great app
Great app covers many categories. Best brain game challenge I have found to date. It is also fun
2017-01-22
Good variety, simplistic,yet important skills
After routinely 'exercising' with Lumosity, NeuroNation (non-repeated instructions, too vague to comprehend without repeated trials), Brainwell, and Peak (TOO many wordy evals of every performance) the variety and simplicity offered by 'Mindgames', coupled with ease of participation, makes the choices/ exercises a daily favorite.
Thank you for this distinctly challenging, yet relaxing set of appropriate cognitive 'quests'.
Sincerely- DockD
2017-01-19
Great app
Since I been playing this game I have notice and change
2017-01-13
Fantastic App!
I absolutely love this app! It is so challenging for the brain and really makes my mind so sharp. Have been playing this for a week and just can't stop. It's so addictive because of the thrill I get when I get a high score. Also there is a good variety of games that really stimulates every part of your brain. So glad I bought the Pro version which enables me to do all the games with no limit! Hope the next upgrade will have new and exciting games!

Question
I have really enjoyed your mind games a lot many different challenges in different areas. At first I scored average in a lot most around 120. Some are easy to get the hang of some depending of how I think. I only scored 153 in three of like 24. Anticipation around 160, first three to six times. My best is 253.2. A lot of practice though. Memory racer
153. My best is 177.3. Self ordained is my favorite, at first it was at 153.3' but it took me ten min. My best is 3 min, 3 seconds. But the trick is I make a story to link them together. After playing them over and over again I averaged them out, and it is about 152. These games have helped me increase my intelligence. I strongly believe in being more self aware, after all "they" say we only use ten percent of our brains, depending on the average person I guess. Would like to get any feed back you can, I hope you develop more mind games!,
Thanks!
2017-01-08
Challenging
I find the games challenging and helpful. Some really push me to improve. Worthwhile.
2017-01-08
Great
Although its interface looks a bit outdated, it is well worth the price. The games invigorate your cognitive skills, and I would highly recommend.
2017-01-06
Brain Games like all the games that compare me to others in my age range. range.
Challenging but fun to play. Allows me to improve. Many types of exercises. Only downside is that sometimes you have to repeatedly hit the finish button which affects your score since the time it takes you is being factored into your score.
2016-12-26
Fun Way to Exercise Your Brain
I love this app! There are many games that focus on attention and memory skills. I highly recommend it.
2016-12-22
Awesome games
I actually really like this game and so far haven't had an issue I like having to use all parts of my brain and I also like the games they are fun and interactive and directions are generally easy to follow
2016-12-22
Wonderful!
I love the various tests. I recommend turning on the mute to stop distracting noise before you begin.
2016-12-19
Worth the money
Probably just as good as the subscription based brain games
2016-12-14
Great App!
This is a great application that helps you focus your attention and improve your memory. The only complaint I have is that it does not give you tips on how to improve your score, like other games in the market.
2016-12-09
Worth going Pro
These trainings and games are sure to get your mind working. You notice your own improvement in memory and elasticity of the brain. Your results are shown instantly and you see how your score compares with others in your age range. They're a lot of fun, too!
2016-12-03
Mentalist
There is so many different games to keep you engaged. I definitely see improvements in my working memory.
2016-11-10
How I Improved
I have definitely grown over the past two months I had this app. It feels as though my IQ has risen by approximately 0.5 points daily because of this wonderful app. If you're considering getting this app, you have put yourself on a great advantage to others in terms of intellect.
2016-11-08
Brain Exercise
Great mental exercise. Lots of games.
2016-11-05
Playing against yourself
Lots of good games to pick from and a great way to challenge yourself. Just a few weeks in, and I can already measure a difference in my memory.
2016-11-05
So far so good
Hope it remains challenging as I progress
2016-11-04

Execllent Games!!

Pinkie and The Who ??
Keeps me focused , a great way to pass time and you can track your improvement over time ,
They could switch up the games periodically, but overall I love it.
2016-10-28
Good variety of training games in one place. It has helped my
Rehabbing.
2016-10-26
Thrilling
This is a great app, challenging, I really enjoy i.
2016-10-21
It does not work for me
The app is not downloading. I have internet connection and space on my iPad. But it just won't download shame
2016-10-04
Learning
Flew through the free, demo version. Enjoy challenging myself daily with the trainer.

HB214 - Still An Awesome App!!!
Ive been playing this (The Pro Version...) for over "a year +" now and still love this app! I can sense it helping me keep my mind sharp and active. I do have a suggestion for another game if the designers are interested. Binary Math & Operations. I love doing binary math and hopefully this sort of game will make it into a future update. Thanks! And please keep this wonderful game updated.
2016-07-14
Brain improvement
When someone tells you that they see an improvement in your memory you know it helps. So far it's helping. I like the fact that Ivan now recognize my strengths and weaknesses.
2016-06-29
Love it
Some of the games are pretty tough, but with practice you really can improve. I play focus games in the morning before heading out to work and the other games at night. I've really noticed a marked improvement in many areas (focus, recall, reasoning, etc). Would love to see a name game with audio where you are introduced to a dozen or so people and then you have to match their names to the right person. Many thanks!
2016-06-22
good app
this is a very good app for improving brain function and i really like that it is only a one time fee. The problem is i feel that my game scores and percentiles are being deleted and have to be reattained. It would also be interesting to have some sort of a test to train certain skills instead of just a lot of games. There are some bugs with the timer in some games because it keeps jumping around.
2016-06-05
Helpful
I am not extremely old, but I am in my 60's with horrible memory; when not that long ago, I had an excellent memory. It is frustrating. This game seems to be helping already and I just started with it a few days ago. Hopefully, it will continue - time will tell.
2016-05-19
Fun, but simplistic
Has a lot of original, fun, and engaging games, but lacks ways to track progress, and only compares you to others in your own "age group". I would like to see more in the way of progress tracking, and comparison not only within my own age group, but also transgenerational and international comparisons.
2016-01-25
Best brain game I've played
I've tried many brain exercise games and MindGames is the best IMO. Each exercise runs longer than most games. This strengthens your ability to focus and tests your nerves. Great variety of exercises that challenges your mind unlike any game I've tried. Some glitches but nothing major. For instance, my score from the trial versions didn't load in the full version when I upgraded. Also, in the game "Anticipation," the same picture is shown after approximately 400 moves. I like to turn off sound and vibration to help me focus.
2016-01-04
👌🏽
Very good Update and games feels great when you notice you're actually getting better and faster Highly recommended
2015-12-17
Love It
A friend of mine purchased this after a brain injury. She found it so helpful, I thought I'd give it a try. I can only say that I wish I would have purchased it sooner!
2015-12-15
Big Brains!!
What is not to love about this game! Simple but yet challenging, controls work perfect, variety of exercises, simple and easy to understand stats!!
Definitely worth the $$$
2015-12-03
Big Kahuna
I got this app a bit apprehensively and even with some degree of skepticism. I was looking for a way to build new neural pathways because I'm fairly intelligent, just not real quick. A good analogy; my computer's great, I just have a slow processor! Building those new pathways in the brain is a great way to add speed to that lagging processor we sometimes get stuck with. The exercises in this app were a bit stressful for me at first because quite a few are "against the clock"; however, once you start the development process they become so much fun and almost addictive!
2015-12-02
Fit brain
Its a interesting game. Will help you to improve the areas your are weak but there are bugs like mentioned by other users, also its so sencitive that when you press to fast the botton will pass quick with errors or not. I hope next upgrade comes better. But, deffinetly it stimulate your brain.
2015-11-29
Mind Game
Perfect for those of us old folks willing to tax our memory and sharpen it at the same time. This is a wonderful tool. Don't forget this cliche " If you don't use it, you lose it"
2015-10-21
Good challenges
I specially like the word and math games though, it would be helpful to see the correct answers a little longer to see where I went wrong. The answers to memory challenges are shown way too briefly. It would help to actually see the answers because it just disappears too fast.
2015-09-12
Prescribed by Psychologist
This is the best app! The doctor prescribed this to improve my memory after surgery. There are similar apps but they are only to check how well you are doing, not proven to improve your memory. It's worth the money.
2015-06-14
Phoenixbird7
It's a keeper. Quick and challenging. I upgraded to paid version and have no regrets. I would like to see the bug fix on lag time on a few categories-sounds like others have the same issue...
Thanks for a great app. 💡
2015-05-06
Two Thumbs up!
Like others have said, there is a lot of variety and challenging that goes with this app. I just happened to go look for something that would challenge my brain. Each segment is not easy, that is for sure! Get the app, you will not be disappointed.
2015-04-26
Your own portable mind gym
So, we all lead busy lives these days and can't find the time to fit in for a mental health regime. This game fixes that as it yields games that engages in all mental facets of learning and application. Not only is it free, but if you're finding this beneficial you can upgrade for more games so it's a commitment free app. Pair this with a dual-n back app and you're set!
2015-04-19
Good variety
I'm enjoying this app. I went ahead and upgraded as I wanted to have the extras. There's a good variety and you can choose to work on a specific area or let it randomly pick one for you. The challenges are long enough where you actually fell like your working the brain, but not too long to where you can't just pick up and put down at any time. It's consistent in scoring you so you'll really see the improvement as it happens.
2015-04-18
Good quality
Love that I have the option to do whatever category as well as have them take categories at random. Pretty solid app through and through. The only reason this isn't a five star app because it has some glitches where when you choose something it chooses the wrong selection or images don't show up properly. All in all I enjoy this app very much and find it very useful! I am pretty sure I will be a genius, but seriously helps with functions of the brain.
2015-04-09
Games have some errors
It's a fun game suite that I've enjoyed on the PC for a long time, so I bought the pro version. Sadly there are some issues. The Mental Flex game in particular has matching errors. I thought at first that I must be accidentally hitting both buttons (or misinterpreting the match) so I used one finger, slowly, and took a video so that I could review it after. are a significant number of errors in the game - you select the correct right/left match and it marks it as wrong. I only purchased recently so I haven't explored all of the games yet - we'll see how the rest do.
2015-04-07
Okay for training, but comparison to others is lacking
It is a great set of many games to play to improve your skills, and learning speeds. However, low normal, high normal, and normal, is very limited information. I would rather compare with number values against others in my age category. I want to know how much higher normal, lower normal, and normal my skills compare to others. Please, update this application to include more informative comparisons.
2015-03-07
Thank you for this app
Great variety of games (more options than most of the other Brain Game apps)-- I really appreciate that Pro version is a one time purchase price and not a subscription like other similar apps. This is one of maybe two or three apps that I have ever paid for--if you want a brain app, this is definitely the most value for your purchase.
2015-01-10
Mind Games Pro = 5 Stars!
I usually don't write reviews, but I love brain training games and own all the "pros". This is one you'll never be sorry you had purchased! Buy the full version of this App and have fun while you exercise your brain!
2014-12-15
Great variety and challenge
As a speech therapist, I have enjoyed using this app in outpatient therapy to serve individual cognitive training. I love the variety and scoring system. I only wish that more than one user or guest could be added at a time to track progress. I also write for advance web for speech language pathology. I plan to write a more in depth review there.
2014-10-04
Great for people with ADD
This app really helped me strengthen my immediately memory. I was doing some data entry the other day and was surprised by how much I could remember without trying. Very impressive!
2014-09-13
Goes a long way
All the games are fun, but the verbal reasoning is just bread and butter. I noticed that I can read faster and understand texts with more clarity, Virginia Woolf for example . Of course, it all depends on the person. There may be a game here that suits you. Overall five stars for a near perfect app.
2014-08-31
Awesome Brain Training!!!!!
Get this app!!! It's well worth it!!! You will literally feel your brain muscles getting bigger and stronger so to speak!!!!!!!!!! Just do it everyday and you will constantly improve!!!!!!!!!!
2014-08-23
Serious App
I have downloaded quite a few apps like this and by far this gives you more training areas than the rest. Works parts of my brain I didn't know I had!
2014-08-17
Great for the mind!
Best mind games around. Very challenging and really makes you think. Terrific!! Many games of all sorts. You can't go wrong with improving your mind at any age and you can't go wrong with this app. It's great!
2014-06-16
Fantastic app!!
Great value and design. Fortunately the creators have built in a scoring system which allows one to track progress on each game--and to compare to others in their age group. I have tried the other "brain training" sites--this one is much better. Try it and have fun exercising your brain!
2014-05-29
Mind games
Excellent challenge. I am 63 and want to keep sharp and focused in life. This is a great challenge to do just that! Love all the games. The math star has helped me calculate so much faster in my head. No calculator or pen/paper needed. Love it!
2014-05-26
Good brain game
There are a lot of brain games in the App Store. It ranges from games that are poorly put together and don't do much to ones that are intricate, beautiful but expensive. This one is some what of a happy medium. It's an ok game and only receives five stars because I hate the extremes of this genre.
