ADHD - Cognitive Research 4+

Exploitative

As a UC Berkeley epidemiology researcher since 2004, and actively working with participants for many years, there is a red flag for any program that makes a participant pay subscription costs while providing personal and scientific data for research use. The promise of an assessment and limited access to “personalized brain games” for free users is clearly set to only work properly for paying users, glitches and many “access denied” points where services are behind the paywall. Most studies put real funding into compensating participants with money or gift cards or at the very least full access to tools and services, an ethical imperative that i don’t see this app seriously engaging in. It promises providers large participant pools to try out studies or research while being able to skip the hassle of finding or paying people for being the only thing that gives a researcher work or career any validity itself. The people using this app are of vulnerable populations trying to get help and skills to improve quality of life, and that somehow dosent deserve full access? Why shouldn’t just us providers be paying for the huge resources of information being offered, and not the people who’s information we are using? Please be mindful, informed, and cautious with ANY programming you give information to. If your guy is even a little uncomfortable, skip it.

No works

You fill a questionary ( data free ) then when you are on the lobby of the app it just say something about they are building “things” and when they finish the job, they gonna stay in touch to enjoy the interface …. 🤡. Why you dont put that Message at the beginning and then i decide to do or not the questionary of my data .

I really wanted to like this one ☹️

However after I got signed in and tried to do the free version. It seemed as though it locked up, so I shut down the app and tried to restart only to find I now cannot get back in there till tomorrow. So I just deleted it.
