Review Highlights:
Move over Sudoku, I just found my new favorite brain sharpening activity! I love that it compares my progress and "brain strength" to other adults my age who are playing the game. It adds a competitive element that motivates me. All of the games (speed sort, spot the difference, find it fast, coin calc., matching pairs, missing pieces, shadow shapes, quick blocks, paint drops, stacked discs, perfect patterns, sequence squares) are addicting and fun. The fact that the game is adaptive based on my responses makes it even more enjoyable. The activities are always challenging but never frustrating - just right.
Fit Brains develops cognitive skills quickly and effectively. I was able to watch my progress as it slowly got better and better. Skills such as visual, focus, memory, problem solving, and speed are introduced and thoroughly tracked while you play. I really like the stacking exercise. It forced me to think in ways that are completely different from other thinking based apps. It kind of reminded me of the folding or unfolding exercises that are asked of you in some cognitive or IQ tests. The focus or matching exercises were fun as well. It was a child's game but timed, and with a lot more variables. I'd highly recommend this app to any one who wants to sharpen their thinking skills.
I can feel my brain growing. I highly recommend this app.
