** WHAT IS DUAL N-BACK **
Dual N-Back exercise is a scientifically proven way of improving your fluid intelligence. Fluid intelligence refers to the ability to reason and to solve new problems independently of previously acquired knowledge. More information about the science from the support page.

** FEATURES **
- Simple but challenging gameplay
- Graphical statistics with daily progress and trend line
- Helpful gameplay animations and tips explaining all you need to know about dual N-back

The idea is to remember sequentially spoken letters and positions of a square. The sequence length is increased or lowered for the next round depending how well you are doing.

You will advance to your current top performance level quite fast and it takes some persistence to get to the next level. On the other hand, the length of the sequence (i.e. difficult level) for each round is deliberately changed quite easily so that there is minimal change to develop automatic processes and task-specific strategies which are actually not increasing your fluid intelligence in the long run.

Pros and cons of Dual N-Back app for iPhone and iPad

Dual N-Back app good for

Trying to buy full version. Every time same: "NOT PURCHASED. Something went wrong. You have not been charged"

There appear to a number of paid Dual N-Back apps out there, but this is the only one Ive found that is solely ad-supported. Its minimal, doesnt let you change sound sets or do any other customization but its free! And it works great. Totally solid! I would love the ability to change sound sets though, as a musician Id like to be able to use notes of the scale instead of letters.

This app gets better with each update! Of all the apps that offer a Dual N-Back exercise, this is by far the nicest. It is well maintained and offers some very nice features. Highly recommend it.

This is a very simple app. You get what you see. Very easy to use. A recommendation to all interested in dual n back systems.

nice and clear design-nothibg will interrupt your attention but you cant see where youve just been mistaken

Some bad moments

This has been a problem for several years now, apparently. This is hardly an insurmountable engineering challenge. The developers seem to not care.

On my iPhone 6, the sound only works when using headphones. I find this pretty annoying, but otherwise the game is great.

Paid for app but cant disable the mild ad for their f-connect service which I dont want use.

I uninstalled the app after the shameful update. It completelly destroyed the original experience, turning it into an overly colorful ad producing mess.

There is no confirmation during game play that anything youre doing is correct, making this game rather useless.

The updated version with new graphic design is just terrible. Looks like a game for 5 years old child. I cant concentrate on task because of this
