Name Skillz: Remember Names

Im horrible with names. If I see them written down I’m alright. But not with just the shake of a hand. I didn’t know it was a possibility to improve my memory for remembering names. I found out about this name memory technique from Jim Kwik, and I was happy to find this app that made it easy to practice. And I’m getting better!

I have a networking conference coming up and I can already see how this app will help. The app teaches you the concept and then gives you practice lessons you can use daily to master it. Highly recommended!

It was a practical app that filled a niche. The problem here is the lack of customization, lack of community with gamification, and possibly stats to view progress? Less so the last statement but customization takes way too much time to find an image you like to use the image that you want in associated with a name. There was potential here but it’s lost considering that the last update was three years ago.

Pleasantly surprised with how easy to use and effective this app is. It lets you add your own name associations and photos which is helpful. My main gripe is the name choices they have you memorize - Mary, Margaret, Charles etc… these may have been common names back in 1920 but it’s now 2021, can we update the list please? I only have so much room in my head

When practicing in people mode, I find I often get the same faces with the same names and am seeing a lack of true randomization. I’m also not seeing the full array of names I’ve learned from the review deck. A good app, but slightly flawed

This app totally changed my thought process for meeting people! I have always struggled with remembering names, but now I have a simple and solid little trick to use when someone introduces themselves.

I actually tried the tips from this app because I was going on a church retreat and wanted to be super sociable and remember everyone’s names. Using the method they teach for remembering names is a bit trickier to do without the app. Some of the name associations they used were ones I didn’t care for, like janitor-Jennifer, but it would take a lot of effort to come up with each association from scratch. If there are ones you like better, you can change the associated word and even the picture too. However, you can’t create your own custom name flash card set of less common names or names of people you are trying to remember in real life. That’s the only extra feature I wish they had. Otherwise I think the app is pretty good.

I use this app usually when I wake up to get my brain moving and met someone this week whose name has still stuck with me. Love that you can add your own associations to the name and the illustrations. The trophies also make a nice goal-oriented person like myself feel like I’ve accomplished something 🙌🏼 Would definitely recommend this app for those looking to memorize names or even improve memory.

I have a tough time remembering the names of people I meet the first time around, but even after a few days of using the app I have found myself more attentive and able to remember names the first time. Glad I have this app!!
