Brain Training Unotan ($3.99)
Version – 1.0.0.1
REVIEW – “Exercise for your brain!”
I am a big fan of games, and I’ll be the first to admit that while they are fun, it is very easy to waste a lot of time playing them and not get anything done. What if I was to tell you that I could recommend a game where you would not only have fun, but also exercise your brain while playing it? Well now you can with Brain Training Unotan by BB Softservice!
I’ll start by saying that this is not the first game like this that I have seen, but it does seem that BB Softservice has worked on becoming one of the leaders of creating games in this genre. One of the first things I noticed was the attention to detail in this app. From the smooth looking interface to the fact that this game actually detects if you are listening to audio and prompts to ask if you want to stop the audio you are listening to or continue listening to it.
As far as the actual gameplay there are a variety of different “exercises,” and they are all listed in three different categories. The categories are “Memory,” “Concentration,” and “Intuition.” You can access any of these three categories from the menu at the bottom of the screen, as well as a settings screen where you can reset your statistics, get information about the app or toggle the games sound on or off.
Next to the buttons for each of the exercises is a “Description” button. This gives a description of what you will be required to do, and for the most part they do a good job of this. There are a few of the exercises that would probably be very confusing if it was not for these descriptions, but I had no problem with any of them after having read the “Description.”
You are graded, based on your performance in each individual activity, on a scale of how “developed” your brain is. While I think this is an interesting and creative way to look at it, it definitely would have been nice to see more statistics or a more “definitive” system for showing your results. It also would be nice to see some sort of progress chart as you develop your brain more fully.
While this app is not perfect, I would definitely say that the exercises are both fun and educational enough to make it worth a look. And at just $3.99 it’s not going to break your bank either. If you are one of those people that constantly finds themselves wasting time playing games and would like to do something more constructive with that time, I would highly recommend Brain Training Unotan!
