Brainess is a minimalist brain-training app designed to stimulate various cognitive functions. It includes seven distinct exercises focusing on memory, vision, and mental arithmetic. By completing daily tasks, the app calculates your 'brain age', encouraging you to improve your performance over time. It is also compatible with Apple Watch for training on the go.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Brainess is a refreshingly simple take on the brain-training genre. In an era where many apps try to upsell you on expensive monthly subscriptions, Brainess offers a clean, one-time purchase (or free entry) for a set of high-quality cognitive exercises. The minimalist design is its greatest strength; there’s no clutter, no annoying mascots—just you and the tasks. The seven games provided cover the essentials: memory, calculation, and visual recognition.
Tracking your 'Brain Age' over time provides a nice sense of progression and a daily hook to return. While it doesn't have the scientific backing or massive variety of something like Lumosity, it’s much more accessible for quick sessions. The Apple Watch integration is a standout feature, allowing for literal 30-second training sessions on your wrist. It’s an ideal app for someone who wants to keep their mind sharp during a commute or a short break without any fuss.

Please Fix the Memory Scoring
Wed Jul 28 2021 MollysaurusI love this app and I use it daily! But please, I’m begging the devs…fix the way you score the Memory game! Right now, it’s a psychic ability game because it rates my accuracy as if I already know where the cards are before I start! The first time I see a card shouldn’t count against me. I’ve played perfect games where I recalled the location of each item with zero mistakes but gotten an accuracy score of 60-some percent.
Fun and challenging
Sun Dec 06 2015 1357435794356I doubt the brain age rating is accurate but the tests/exercises are fun and challenging. It does feel like cognitive exercise
Good app
Thu Dec 03 2015 GramstyAnything that improves the brain is a good thing. This is not terribly challenging, but still makes you pay attention and think. I try to do each one as fast as I can just to challenge myself.
Eye strain
Tue May 15 2018 red_currantThe concept sounds great, & I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the moving squares in the background are really problematic and I didn’t find a way to turn them off. Would love to adjust my review if that could be fixed, or if I’m advised where the setting is. Otherwise, I’ll need to delete the app without even playing it once. Thanks.
Easy to Learn and Play
Tue Dec 01 2015 KC-473This is a great app for passing time and improving your cognitive processing speed. Selecting the test, you can measure your improvement by striving for the lowest "brain age'. The lower the score the better your brain.
After a week it is still trying to load.
Thu Dec 03 2015 webbreakerI can not delete this app. It just continues to indicate that it is loading. Have tried restarting my iPad as well attempting to delete from my purchased files. Don't download this app until it is fixed!
Fun
Wed Dec 23 2015 Maggie joeyNot certain how accurate the brain age is but lots of fun taking the daily "tests".

Tue Dec 01 2015 Sporepiemerome13What does it mean by brain age? I'm not sure if gets good to get a small or large number.
