   You’re better than no one. I had this app for over six months, only for the games. The language tone this app uses, (one example: “you’re better than _% of users”) is annoying to me, I cringe every time I read it. Also, there’s a game called Stepping Stones, where you memorize numbers and tap in ascending or descending order, but it doesn’t tell you which, so I have to find out by making an error then restarting the game. Memorado’s full of annoying little things like that. I only used it for so long because I paid for it, but now that I deleted it, it’s worth my peace of mind to not use the app

   MAHJONG GAME IS RIGGED. i played up until level 19 because i realized halfway thru NONE of them were matching and it made me lose and i couldnt level up if i could put a picture i would. They literally rig it like midway in like wtf..???

   Ripoff: badly coded games, nonsensical to no training desion. Ripoff: badly coded games, nonsensical to no training design. The games just play without any meaningful challenge or point. You can run a session of game perfectly, and there’s no change or advancement. The app comes across as a scam. Also the games are so cheaply and badly coded it’s painfully awful to play. They even use the same music clip that repeats endlessly for all the background music for all the games.

4. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

   Too easy even for children. Very slow and way too easy. It’s an insult to my intelligence to be “practicing” with this app. Anybody with 10% of a brain will have a hard time finding a challenge

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Why is this on my phone?. I did not not download this. Deleting immediately.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Renewal offer not correct when trying to purchase. Got a renewal offer and when pushing on it a totally higher amount comes up!! Not right!!! So now I wonder if the tests are legitimate.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Robbed me out of around 40-50$.. I used Geist a lot until i opened the game without deleting the game. Then, for some reason, when i just got in, it offered me the thing i got a while back. Keep in mind, i bought all of the games PERMANENTLY, or thats what they claimed to do. It was permanent for a while, until this morning when i checked the game. Dont buy anything from this game because i got scammed and you could get scammed too.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   mediocre at best. at first I really liked the design and vibe of this app but after now using it for a couple months and being a premium subscriber I will say definitively that this app is boring it always has me playing the same games very repetitive and it doesn’t really seem like the developer is making any real significant improvements or updates there’s no account feature which means there’s no way to sync your progress between devices seems like a basic function that the developer eliminated and has no interest in reinventing so I wouldn’t recommend this app for a long-term because it doesn’t seem like the developer is serious about it and also pro tip do not pay the full price for the premium keep saying no until a much lower price is shot because you can easily get premium for 50% off their asking price if you for some reason love you so much that you feel like that’s necessary otherwise if your social on this app I would just say there’s better out there

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   The app says there is free version but when I load it. It tells n Me i now have script that costs?

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Waste of money. Spend it on elevate. This is a waste

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bad. Money oriented, don’t seem to really care about their users too much, I hate it.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    IPAD INCOMPATIBLE (+ developers have abandoned app). Not optimized to use on an iPad (doesn’t support landscape orientation, etc) which seems like a rather indefensible oversight, considering how much this app costs (the free version isn’t worth it). I was willing to overlook that initially, but considering all of the glitches and crashes that continue to remain unfixed and unaddressed, this app has become a disappointment, particularly because it had a lot of potential. C’est la vie. Now that the developers appear to have fully jumped ship and essentially abandoned this app (leaving users requests for support and questions unanswered for months now) it is time for me— and you— to go read the reviews of a DIFFERENT app as we search for a worthy substitute.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Misrepresenting as free app. This may be a good app, but it presents itself as a free app with “in app purchases “. The “free app” is just a sales tool. You get about 5 minutes of content. Then all other content cost $60/year.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Game is a very expensive scam. You can download the game but then they want to scam you out of $59/month

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    I havbought lifetime subscription but they still want to charge me a yearly fee. bought a lifetime subscription but they still want to charge me a monthly fee.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Yearly sub for this?. Putting a premium continuous subscription model on some basic mind games is pretty low. Putting a one time offer to unlock everything doesn’t make you generous, it makes you pushy and exploitative. Why not just charge once for everybody and stop with the sales pressure? Oh right, because standards mean nothing to you. Giving everyone different price tags based on your desperation is not a good look, when you’re already talking about a low shelf product. I can’t believe people actually justify this practice, then wonder why the AppStore is flooded with such exploitative garbage at the same time.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Another greedy app.. I hate apps that place money over users because they don't give enough things to do for free users. This app does the same, but even worse. We get 3 WHOLE GAMES TO PLAY without the overpriced subscription. This is a very greedy app.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    $60 annually for match-the-card. Capitalism is not the way

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Same games As Peak; No customer support for money back. I was looking for better alternatives to Peak and Elevate. Then, I read one review on Geist claiming this app is better than Peak and Elevate. In turn, it got me to purchasing the lifetime subscription (more on that later). Absolutely disagree. Most of the games are the same as Peak but just shortened. Elevate is much better than both Geist and Peak if you are looking for better articulation and mental math skills, if not the best app for it. Probably what got this reviewer to like Geist better than Peak and Elevate is the price, which I agree is cheaper especially after trying the app they offer a one-time offer of a lifetime subscription of $30. But, if you already bought the Peak lifetime subscription, Geist is not the better alternative from Peak. It definitely does not include articulation improvement or mental math as good as Elevate. Maybe you might be looking for meditation and sleep options which the premium includes, but they are no more than talks and meditation timers with calm music that you can find on YouTube or other free apps. Now, I was not going to write this review until I could not find customer support to get a refund after using it for only a couple of minutes. Nowhere can you find contact support on Memorado. Worse? I try logging in with the exact same email I used to sign up on Geist which I also used to purchase the premium and both Geist and Memorado online doesn't recognize my account. Sounds like scamming, doesn't it? Consider this app with the premium features if you are looking for brain training that is great for the money if you have not yet invested into other apps and if you are not looking to improve articulation and mental math. Beyond that? Consider otherwise.

    Waisted my time. Nothing but a commercial to a paid version.

    Falsely advertised as free. Falsely advertised as free and you don’t find that out until after entering your information.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    -customer. disappointing that it’s not free or affordable

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    How do I contact support and billing. Help

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Impossible to Escape?. How do I get rid of it before paying your outrageous yearly fee? Just delete the app?

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Jesus desperate for cash are we?. Make more options free you money hungry thieves

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Multilingual?. It would be great if you had your games in Spanish as well.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    I do not like this app can you please refund my money.. Please refund my account this app is not worth 64$. Thank you

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Tried to unsubscribe from trail. Don’t try free trail unless you know how to delete subscriptions. The directions for deleting from I phone not correct and not being tech savvy and trying a number of times I missed deadline. No contact info for app.

29. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Another Subscription App?. I am so tired of apps wanting you to pay monthly for their services! Whatever happen to apps that were great but covered in advertisements. I wish that I wasn’t bombarded with a trial or subscription when I first opened the app. I’m sure that this application is great... I’m just not impressed on how you are greeted.

    Money Stolen!!!. To the thieves at Memorado: Is it company policy to ignore customer concerns including issues of theft from your company in which you the money stolen belongs to your potential consumers? This is odd behavior, oh and it’s illegal. Please respond to show other potential consumers where you stand on the issue. Your silence can only be received as admission of your theft
