I accepted the free trial, it was supposed to give me premium access, but it didn't so I'm canceling because if you can lie about that, you can lie about anything. Tip for everyone giving the app a "try", cancel subscription immediately, if you want it after it's over you can choose to pay for it at that time, don't get caught off guard because you have adhd. Be like me and cancel immediately.
Reviews for Impulse – Brain Training Games
The games are fun. There are cool little tests that give detailed insight on how your brain works, and although it doesn't feel like learning, you see the learning in retrospect. There are no ads, which is an amazing relief. The different categories of games let's you choose what you want to focus on, and the daily personalized sets allow you to see where you may want to focus.
It would be fun if the ads weren't longer than the actual gameplay. You do one 10-second long level, and boom, another 30-second add that opens a new window. Another 10-second level, another 30-second ad. It's a huge waste of time, and the stupid ads are definitely killing more brain cells than any benefit that the games could give to your brain. And the games will say they're relaxing or something but the ads that play between them are revolting.
Fairly deceptive in their pricing schemes. Can't get the results of a test that takes at least 10 minutes to take. luckily I didn't take one of the more comprehensive tests. "Won" a 92% off discount. How it's phrased is that you could subscribe and then cancel anytime. You can only subscribe for a year at a time though is the trick. And then can only cancel /further/ subscriptions. Could have been a good app but sadly just seems like a really dishonest company. Also a lot of ads too.
The ads are insane. Two minute ad for a two minute puzzle. I don't mind ads for free play, but you barely spend time off ads. And then they try to play mind games with constant 95% off coupons. The price is all fake to make the "sales" seem like an amazing deal, which I'm pretty sure there are laws against in some countries. If they weren't so manipulative, maybe I'd like this app. But for now, the devs need to stop being so scammy.
This app is increasingly challenging! I enjoy doing these self-assessment and brain workout games/apps and this one is close to the top of the list! Would probably be better if I would actually pay for the service, but it still offers an array of games available for free (minus watching ads of course!) keep up the good work Impulse!
This was literally the worst app experience I've ever had. I don't normally get suckered in to Instagram app ads, but I did click on this intriguing one. I decided to take a little quiz that they were offering, but then of course to get the results, you had to pay a small fee. I thought I was careful that I was ONLY paying for this one service. 7 days later, the $40 subscription fee came. Never saw an email, never knew I even had an account bc it went to SPAM. No refund. Such a scam.
This app is mentally stimulating and quite diverse. originally gave 5 stars. I paid 40$ for this app & was enjoying it,until they blocked each activity with timed ads. it's a paid app. with more ads than my free mental challenge games. 1 star! BAIT & SWITCH I would definitely not recommend this. there's no refund because they didn't do it until right after the trial period was up.
With no option to simply get rid of ads, this app is unusable. I had a minute long ad BEFORE playing the first game of the day. Sad. What's worse is that this company won't change. They'll offer some sort of patterned apology they offer everyone, but ultimately won't change. I wish I didn't spend any of my credits on this app. Edit: See what I mean? Our feedback is NOT valuable. At least not as much as ad revenue.
Interesting and fun but not worth $40 USD every month. that's right, they try to bill me $40 every month and I finally removed the app when they put up another paywall for $19 after I had already paid both the $19 trial and the $40 monthly and had been using the app for 3 weeks. Like virtually all phone apps, very difficult to cancel. Update: would love to see the terms that I allegedly explicitly agreed to, for a $500 a year service that you advertise as a $40 a year premium account.
