As a short preface: in 2019, Smarter was awarded as the best Google Play app. Similarly to Brain Training, Smarter has different categories (9 of them) focused on your accuracy, math, logic, memory, and attention to detail. Its mini-games are fun to play. They may seem to be easy (like deciding whether you see left or right hand), but attention to details and no rush is significant in giving correct answers. Your results after each level will be colored. Remember the colors: green (you spent a relatively short time on a level), orange (you struggled a bit), and red (a level took a long time). Besides, Smarter offers you to revisit your progress in your profile, from which you can understand the areas you need to improve further.

We selected Mystery Manor among them because it has an interesting plot, beautiful visual accompaniment, and mini-games as a variety for the monotonous search for hidden objects (match-3 or flip cards to find similar cards).

Memory games: Memory Match – Picture Match from Branded Brothers
Old classic memory games come back with a new design, difficulty levels, and different categories to diversify your gameplay. It’s classic because you need to match similar images while “flipping” cards, which are randomly laid out. It is different because you can choose the visual wrapping of the cards whenever you want. Memory Match offers you animals, mobile games, vehicles, cartoons, and promising “more categories to see.” Along with difficulty levels, they will make the exercise less monotonous and more engaging to complete and train your memory.
60 Brain Games: Free Mental Training! from Peoresnada.com
This app is free for sure. Don’t mind advertising – developers have to eat something, especially after creating the app which focuses on four key areas of your brain. You will train your attention (focus and speed are included), long-term and short-term memory, calculation, and logic (problem-solving skills, who don’t want to possess them?). With 60 Brain Games, you also can track your progress; and the developers made five categories for that: speed, analysis, precision, memory, and calculation. Consider also an indisputable advantage of the app: you can train your brain anywhere, and this anywhere doesn’t need to have the Internet.
Training your brain has never been so easy, huh? We agree with that and wish you to have a lot of fun while exercising alone or with your friends.
