Brain Training Journey 1.0.1
Of course, when one thinks about training the body, one usually thinks about muscles that make us fitter, stronger and so on. One aspect that most people forget about is just how important it is to also train our brains. While exercises for the brain are definitely different than the bench presses from the gym, they’re just as important, if not more important in our everyday lives.
No brain effort
The Brain Training Journey app is one of the tools that was created in the hopes that you’ll start paying attention to this aspect as well. The app has a very simple interface and you shouldn’t find any difficulties in figuring things out.
Unlike other similar tools that uses an array of exercises, this one focuses on arithmetic. Basically, you’ll have to solve some puzzles by using the numbers provided to you in a grid. As you progress, the app starts using more than just addition and subtraction exercises, but also multiplication and division.
It’s all pretty easy to do if you have some basic math notions. Plus, it’s not like the app will subject you to advanced mathematics, as the exercises are quite easy and you probably use all this on a day to day basis every time you go shopping.
Get started
You start off with a short tutorial, teaching you just what you have to do, which isn’t too difficult – pick two numbers that give a certain result. You need to do this within a specific time period determined by a band countdown timer. When you answer the question correctly, you win a few more seconds. If you run out of time you can use a time bonus, which is something you win as you progress through the various levels. Alternatively, you can buy some with real money if you desire so.
The settings are only lets you control whether you want to have the sound and vibrations turned on and decide whether to remove the banner ads (for a price).
All in all, Brain Training Journey is a nice tool that you can use to keep your mind sharp and your arithmetic skills on point.
