SCAM!! Do not enter any credit card details and do not download the report for 0.99 cents, otherwise you will be charged €29 a month after 6 days without your consent. --> Do you all want to help? Report all these apps so they get taken off the Play Store and don’t scam other people

This is a scam as they will give you a hidden subscription that is impossible to easy cancel. It is registered as a "Token" subscription according to my bank and I had to block my card to cancel the whole thing. They lure you in with a small fee but this is just bait. Stay away. I have reported this to Google Play and Master Card.

STYR UNNA.. SCAM...Ikke start med å laste ned eller å åpne denne engang, før den har puttet deg på et abonnement. Etter 3 gratis dager sier de, har ikke engang prøvd den og den melder om at "trial" er igang. Ikke kommer du ut av det så enkelt heller.

got lured in by ad on FB, paid for the trail and then no where in the app you find your subscription details. so they just charge you because you can't cancel anywhere. Finally found out where: in the mail is a link to your account that you CAN NOT get to through the app. nor through the website. SCAM as they count on this to sell you at least a very expensive braintraining game that has nothing specific towards ADHD. They're just out to cash out on neurospicy people not finding how to cancel.

Google Play served the identical review set for Australia, Canada, Switzerland, United Kingdom, India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia as another English-language storefront above -- Play does not segment reviews by country the way the App Store does, so these are not counted twice.
