BetterBrain

I like the 3D audio effect; cool idea! My only critique is that the aesthetics need improving. Thanks for devoloping this app! It works as advertised. :)

This app is exceptional for allowing dual training via audio, with one stimuli being the spoken name of a letter of the alphabet, and the other being its spatial location. Unfortunately, the center channel plays twice as loudly as the others, because the app generates it by playing the left and right channels together, without reducing each of their volumes in half. Beyond the discomfort, the inconsistency is a special clue that the center channel has played, distorting and reducing the training's effectiveness. It's an easy fix. Hope for an update. The interface is serviceable but awkward, with too many buttons all in the wrong places. The four buttons Audio, Visual, Position, and Color need to be repositioned on a 2x2 grid like this: Position Color Audio Visual Then the ordinary controls of a Dual N-Back game would be on the bottom row, with the special controls Better Brain introduces in a new row each above their corollary. This logical placement would also allow larger buttons, altogether affording easy, intuitive operation. Feedback should also move to these buttons; they might pulse green for correct responses and red for errors. The buttons Start, Settings, and Export should be moved to a separate screen (with a small Done added to allow quitting during a game). Still, I really like better Brain. Dual-channel audio only is just what I need. This is a five-star idea currently with a two-star interface, so it earns three stars for now. Good and worth getting, but begs improvement.
