Now with new features that contribute to your brain fitness success!

 BrainHQ represents the culmination of 30 years of research in neuroscience and brain health. Top scientists from around the world helped to develop and test the BrainHQ exercises. The result: a training system that comprehensively improves brain performance, from the most basic elements of perception through the most complex elements of memory, attention, and cognitive function.

 No other brain fitness program can match BrainHQ in scientific proof. More than 100 publications from independent, randomized controlled trials have shown that the exercises and assessments in BrainHQ drive real change. These changes include: • cognitive improvements, such as better memory and faster processing speed • real-world improvements, including safer driving and improved quality of life • physical brain changes, like healthier white matter and more coordinated neurons. 
 All of this means that BrainHQ works—in laboratory studies, and in the lives of everyday people:

 •"BrainHQ is a no-brainer must-have in my book…This training has expanded my visual, fine-tuned my audio and even my reflexes seem to be getting faster. BrainHQ is fun and gives me the challenges I need to keep my brain working out on a daily basis." - C. MacDonald

 •"Only a few months into the BrainHQ exercises the difference is clear, this isn’t left to speculation, I saw drastic improvements…and my family has noticed a strong improvement." - A. Amitrano

 And leading publications agree: “Our testers concluded that Posit's product—one of the few so far to undergo clinical trials and peer-reviewed research—had the firmest scientific grounding.” - Wall Street Journal
 The BrainHQ app helps you set and achieve your brain training goals—so it not only works, it works for you.
 Each exercise adapts to your performance and gets more challenging as your performance improves, just like a personal trainer for your brain.
 The training is designed to fit into your life: train for just 5 minutes in your spare time, or do a complete workout in an hour. 
BrainHQ is a free download, and includes a free exercise every day.

The gift redemption is quite broken / disjointed. So beware if you send this as a gift in such circumstances -- the talli, 2024-12-08 ### *---- "Locked Out" Forgot password (yeah, I appreciate the irony) so now I’m completely locked out. -- Aunt Hilda, 2024-11-26 ### *---- "Worst brain app I have ever installed" I was going on a pretty good start until I forgot where the other one was and then I just started being emotional. I gone to my mom and then when I got another bubble wrong I just got on the floor and I didn’t know another one was gonna start one star. -- I don’t know what to even do, 2024-11-06 ### ***-- "Challenging but BUGGY." The exercises don’t score accurately or correctly by any standard of normalcy. This would be a 5-star app if it weren’t for the bugs that prevent the exercises from being played from time to time, or from the crazy scoring. I often earn the minimum 5 stars on my first exercise and then no or very few more in spite of my correct answers. If they could fix this, it would be great. -- Happy 2 Yelp, 2024-09-02 ### ***** "Excellent" I've been doing Brain HQ since 2018. I like it more every day I practice -play ! It has many different games. Highly recommenbded app -- ana7187, 2024-07-06 ### **--- "High Hopes - But app fail" First downloaded. First free session worked like expected. Enjoyed it. Paid the annual subscription Try restore subscription in app. Kept saying invalid. Signed out app. Would not let me sign back it. Deleting and reinstalling the app. No change. Used chat help online. Said it could not help. Two PW resets later logged in finally. It picked up from selecting memory session online, but is spun through the session from start to finish, I think, fast and stopped at early exit. Tried to do the test 3 or 4 times. Not change. Tried to submit a support request through app but it kept saying request could not be sent. Went to check subscription, which online shows active, in app shows invalid. So disappointing after the claimed superiority of this over Luminosity, which I used without glitch for years, and over Cognifit. I do hole the developers can resolve this immediately or refund a not insignificant amount. -- SGT Photo-junkie, 2024-06-22 ### **--- "Very buggy" Came out interesting enough to play, if you can ever get them to work right. I am using an iPad because as an older person with not the best vision, it’s much too small to see it on my phone. And I don’t use a laptop. I have installed and reinstall the app numerous times and rebooted. Nothing helps. The games are constantly freezing in the middle. The sound goes off and on. And even once it starts to work, instructions very unclear and assume that you have a high-level of gameplay skill in general. it’s like the system was designed for 30-year-olds instead of baby boomers who needed it even more. Finally, my wife uses it on a laptop, and the system is completely different. You can track your progress in a different way. The app and the website need to be more consistent. Nice try. But I won’t be renewing. -- Jfried01, 2024-06-19 ### **--- "Lost and accuracy" I’ve been using for a month or more. I don’t know how to see my progress. I can’t find the screens that are shown in the App Store. Also, their English isn’t the best. For example, you need 10 stars to pass a level. After you get some stars but not all needed, it tells you, “ 1 total stars to pass the level.” It means “1 more.” I then get 5 stars and the response is “… You earned 14 stars. 5 more than you needed…” I’m not an English professor but I am an accountant. It should read “4 more.” Not worth the money I paid. -- SHogan88, 2024-04-19 ### *---- "One essential game component/level is broken" Until yesterday, I would’ve given this game five stars. However, today I reached an essential game component/level that is broken. At the “Mixed Signals” level, when is the on-screen control that is required to be tapped under certain conditions is not actually visible on the screen, and the area where it should exist cannot be consistently tapped. (Taps made there are not sensed reliably.) Till this is fixed, I cannot play the game with any confidence. -- k8gladst1, 2024-04-04 ### *---- "Sorry your trail for today is used please subscribe" Yeah I didn’t even get to try it and it’s saying my trail one use for the day is used. -- SuperSlider, 2024-03-13 ### ***-- "Need better metrics" I think the exercises are great, but your performance is displayed in stars and it’s not clear what those actually mean. If it is trying to appeal to people who are interested in science, it should give real metrics like milliseconds. There’s also no real clear completion for every day, so it doesn’t really incentivize continuous use. they should add a calendar view that shows the days that you practice in when you didn’t. -- nglick13, 2024-02-02 ### ***** "A brain exercise app with clinical proof" There are plenty of apps claiming to exercise your brain, but nearly all of them have no proof supporting their claims. This app has been clinically studied by independent scientists in randomized control trials and shown to be beneficial across a range of cognitive domains. My subjective experience with the app has been that I am more confident driving and have better awareness of what’s going on in my peripheral vision. I feel like my memory is better than most people’s, not to mention my age cohort. I remember names and details much better than before I started using the app. Yes, the app could be better. The instructions could be better. It took me a long time to figure out the exercise with the trains coming and going. I could not do the exercise at first, so my answers were practically random. Once I figured it out, it proved to be a good, challenging exercise. The benefits of this app as proven by a raft of randomized controlled trials by independent scientists far outweigh any of the glitches and complaints about the app. If you’re looking for a way to increase your cognitive function, forget sudoku and crossword puzzles and look no further. You have found it in BrainHQ. -- Me too 4 6 8, 2024-01-22 ### *---- "Terrible app" They charge without warning. They charged me $146. It’s very silly games and not helpful I didn’t use it past a few times today several months later without warning charged $146z no response on refund. -- crappyspotify, 2024-01-13 ### *---- "Poorly designed for beginners" This does not start off slowly to facilitate learning. Apparently, the joy of repeated failures is supposed to encourage game play. I have Elevate, Peak, and several others but this one I will not purchase. No thanks. -- cat67!, 2023-09-15 ### ***-- "Needs better performance for auditory training" On my iPad Air 5 and iPhone 12 pro, the audio/video component stutters, making those audio training tasks harder, and some like Rhythm Recall impossible. I need auditory help, so this is frustrating. Video-only tasks are OK, but the performance makes me wonder if the games get unintentionally too hard to train on. I think performance needs to be improved before I can take the iOS versions seriously. -- Sjedagjsgskgsd, 2023-06-26 ### ***** "Truly Amazing Customer Service! :O" This product is fantastic and is the only ‘brain training’ application backed by science and has been used in the publishing of many different research papers showing benefits for a myriad of different kinds of people for example those with brain injuries. To top of their high quality product, their customer service is top class. I accidentally paid an extra $100 for an additional year of their premium subscription that I did not need, and customer service replied back to my inquiry within a day with extreme kindness and promptly refunded my purchase in full even though it was my mistake for forgetting to cancel before the automatic renewal. If you want a brain training product that you can trust more than any others to actually be effective in delivering on it’s promises and want to support a wonderfully ethical and caring company BrainHQ is the app for you! -- スッライ, 2023-03-30 ### ***-- "Scores going down" I am frustrated because my scores go down , -- Dipper!, 2023-03-16 ### ***** "Recommended" I am a speech therapist in a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. I use this program with my patients and recommend it as they return home. It’s been a wonderful way to challenge my patients. -- TherapistSlp72, 2023-02-23 ### **--- "Needs improvement" 1.- Please offer Live Activities widgets on the Lock Screen to encourage users to engage more. 2.- Please, please, please create a companion Apple Watch app that delivers BrainHQ content. I struggle with focus/attention issues and I feel like Apple Watch apps enable me to be engaged more. I find that I’m able to accomplish more. I imagine this would be a great way for users to learn more skills by having the skills available on the watch. 3.- Please create an Apple TV app so that users can access the content. it would really mean a lot if I could access content on devices that I use the most. -- OKBoomer00, 2023-02-11 ### ***-- "Not for the hearing impaired" Interesting brain training app but the puzzles that ask you to match sounds are inaudible if you have a hearing problem. Turning up the volume on the phone doesn’t work and I can’t seem to find a place on the app to turn up the sound. So I guess this isn’t the app for me. -- LVLinda, 2023-02-06 [View all BrainHQ reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## BrainHQ In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | BrainHQ | $94.99 | ## BrainHQ Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | Kazakhstan | Education | #98 | | Top Free | Denmark | Education | #293 | | Top Free | Singapore | Education | #339 | | Top Free | United States | Education | #345 | | Top Free | Israel | Education | #351 | | Top Free | Canada | Education | #363 | | Top Free | Greece | Education | #378 | | Top Free | Chile | Education | #385 | | Top Free | Taiwan | Education | #412 | | Top Free | Lebanon | Education | #420 | | Top Free | Switzerland | Education | #422 | | Top Free | Australia | Education | #454 | | Top Free | Ireland | Education | #456 | ## BrainHQ Discovered Keywords -
