ADHD Treatment - Brain Training Hack 1.3 + Redeem Codes

If you’re unaware, this app is essentially a series of games designed to help people with ADHD focus. The gameplay consists of grid with 9 squares between which various shapes of various colors jump. Users must press a button on the screen each time the color, shape, or grid location changes. At the start of each level the user is given a specific set of instruction (e.g. don’t tap blue or orange shapes, don’t tap after a square or circle, etc.). Users are given a score based on their accuracy and timing, and users need to attain a minimum score (usually 65%) to move onto the next level. Users do not have the ability to skip levels. The recommended way to achieve the best results with this app is to complete a certain number of levels each day. It works out to roughly 15-20 minutes depending on accuracy.

For the most part, I think this game is helpful. It forces users to shut out distractions and focus on the game.

However, towards later levels (>level 60), the game introduces a new challenge. For certain levels, users are told ahead of time that the shape will be static and only the grid location of the shape (a drum) and color will change. Users are also told that the shape will change ever x.x seconds. The goal of these levels are to anticipate the timing of the change and tap the on-screen button as quickly as possible.

For me, this represents a huge problem. Because while I have been forcing myself to focus on the game, I have zero sense of timing or rhythm. What’s worse is that these levels have a very high bar to pass. It typically takes me between .2 and .3 seconds to tap the screen after the drum shape changes color or location. Even without making any mistakes (I.e. pressing the button too soon) I can only score 59% with .2-.3 second response times. For me, this isn’t an issue of focus, which is what I believe this game is meant to test and improve, I am completely focused on the game.

It has been taking me upwards of 20 times to pass each rhythm level, so what was 15-20 minutes of play has become 45-60 minutes. It is so frustrating and discouraging to play these levels. My frustration is compounded by the inability to skip problem levels. I don’t know if I will be able to continue playing the game. And I can’t recommend this game until a change to scoring/the ability to skip levels is made.

If the goal is to use the app daily, the required reaction time of 0.09 seconds on level 90 has made it impossible to advance and ruined an otherwise good app for me.

I just spent $5 and the app doesn’t even work. There is nowhere to click to start the game. Am I missing something. All I can click on are settings and the “ADHD” button that describes the disorder.

By sheer luck I got past levels 14 and 15 (app NOT working correctly) only to get stuck again at level 22. Please fix this, as I believe it could be helpful

...if I verified the scientific claims and they are true.

I have only used it once thus far after downloading it, but I think it might be very useful and effective down the road. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the first grade when I was put on a low dose of Ritalin for my insane hyperactivity. The difference in my behavior then was uncanny and 18 years later I am still on medication, however, I have never used neuro-therapy like this app offers and I really love everything it has to offer. Simple exercises that really seem to hone some of the symptoms in conjunction with extensive information and links about the disorder make this app a winner so far in my mind. You really don't need ADHD to benefit from this app!

I happen to love this app! For those confused on don't tap after green. It means when the color green disappears from the screen do not tap. But you can tap the color green when it appears on the screen just not when it disappears from the screen. Anyway, I believe this app is helping me cause I'm paying more, MUCH more attention to detail at work when downloading online orders. I have to check super fast that the address hasn't changed. If it has I have to update it. Then check the order header and if customer left comment, copy and paste it to the appropriate place. Was told that I need to do 150 an hour and I now in this past month am doing 200 an hour. Because of this I got a raise. So. Thank you so much for developing this app!

The thing I like most are the little quotes that remind me I can be better- some of the instructions for the games do not make sense and need to be more clear. I also like the pop up reminders to stay focused and to play the games. I'm not sure how much the games actually help me to become more focused... Would be nice to have a "scale" that measures my progress and shows improvements. Also, to show a correlation between the "games" and "real life"; how one improves the other.

When compared to similar competing apps, this app definitely provides the best bang for one's buck!

I use it daily and truly feel it helps improve both my cognition speed, by making some awareness or focus more automatic and less conscious, and helps my working memory, by conditioning my mind to retain the newest information or procedure while discarding information that is no longer relevant.

Takes anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes to complete unless things get really challenging. A few sessions have taken nearly an hour to complete because my mind wasn't engaging the way it was being trained or conditioned.

Personally feel it helps make a difference for one with ADHD related issues or symptoms. Only one piece of my comprehensive treatment plan but I notice a positive difference as a result of using this app.

Seriously -- such a fantastic idea. I'd been searching for something to help boost my concentration & memory that didn't involve just math or cost a ton. Not only did this app fit the bill but it exceeded my expectations too. Nice, clean design, simple -- no clutter or obnoxious sounds. I like how it's personalized to my progress, and that I have a clear deadline (which my ADHD brain needs) to do my treatment each day BUT it takes just a few minutes -- and it's pretty fun! Such a great idea, thank you for making this app!!!
