Mempal is a straightforward and effective tool for anyone looking to improve their memory through classic exercises. It doesn't distract you with flashy graphics or unnecessary fluff; it focuses purely on the cognitive challenge of pattern recognition and recall.

The progressive difficulty is well-tuned, ensuring that you always feel a bit pushed without becoming frustrated. It's the kind of app that's perfect for a 5-minute brain workout while waiting for the bus. Simple, effective, and clean.

Dinsun Review

I don't know why this is listed under games. It's an Anki clone with a slightly friendlier skin. As a man who values efficiency, I appreciate what it's trying to do for my aging memory, but as a gamer, this is a total snooze-fest. The UI is basic, the 'rewards' are non-existent, and it feels like homework. If you need to study for a bar exam, fine. If you want to enjoy yourself, this is about as fun as reading a dictionary in the dark.

Improved user interface.


Use your finger to improve your memory! This app is designed to exercise and challenge your short-term memory with a set of games which difficulty increases with progressive game levels.

This unique feature of the app is it features six different types of game with varying degrees of difficulty: (a) standard; (b) random; (c) challenge; (d) brick; (e) match duo; (f) Match Duo Plus. These different games render the app is always super fun to play with. Furthermore, the app is internationalized for English, simplified Chinese .and traditional Chinese languages, so that Chinese users can use the app in their native languages.

*** Note; you should buy the Advanced Levels in-app purchase in order to experience all the great features of the app. They include you will be able to play the match duo and match duo plus games, to add custom figures to games, to add custom songs into the app's music play list and manage the play list.

Specifically, each game presents you with a set of figures randomly assigned to tiles. To win a game, you need to remember the placement of figures on their assigned tiles, and move each figure, with your finger, to place the figure on its tile, within the allocated time and lives (hearts) for the game.

To make the games even more interesting, there are sound effects to alert you of every correct and wrong move during a game (requires your device's speaker is on), and new interesting figures will appear as you reach higher game levels. Moreover, you may add your own photos as new custom figures, and the tiles can be randomly placed to further test your problem solving skill. Added to all those, there is a different background image for each new game, and you may play motivational music while playing games. You may even customize the music playlist by adding your own songs, selecting which songs to play and specifying their play order.

Furthermore, there is a challenge game mode where you will need to place figures one column to the right, one column to the left, one row up or one row down from their assigned tiles. This will further exercise your memory and renders the app even more fun to play. Yet, there is another interesting brick game mode, where the figures are covered with brick tiles. You tap on the bricks to reveal any figures that may be beneath them. You win the game by knocking out the minimum number of bricks to uncover all figures, within the allocated lives and game clock. Added to all the above, there are the match duo and match duo plus games, where each figure appears twice in a game. Your task is to reveal and match all figure pairs to a the game. Please see the User Guide that is included in the app for more details.
