Part 1 :  Cross Platform
Part 3 : iOS Exclusive

Introduction

In contrast to cross platform brain training apps, these Android exclusive games tend to be overall less expensive to upgrade yet contain more ads in their base forms. Games tend more towards the casual & entertaining with most lacking the scientific & neurological research behind the more expensive cross platform variations available.
 
The focus on these brain apps still remains on improving memory, problem solving skills, processing speed, increasing overall I.Q., and enhancing other cognitive skills by having players run through puzzles & other games for a few minutes each day.
