Testing your IQ with the help of iPhone games
You have paid a lot for your iPhone, so it is only fair that you use it for things other than SMS texting and posting things on Twitter. There are lots of apps for the iOS, and many of them will allow you to test your IQ and train your brain. There are a few good ones listed below. They will get you started if you are looking for IQ testing and brain training apps. Though you should already be aware that there are a lot of them online at the moment.
Using games on your iPhone does not sound very exciting when there are hundreds/thousands of action packed and fun games that you can play. The best thing to do is to not have them as your main games. Have them as back up games for when you are sitting in a waiting room and you are bored but you are sick of your normal games.
That is when these sorts of games come in very handy. They make it so that you can train your brain and test yourself, but you may do it in a setting where the games seem interesting because they are better than staring at four walls whilst you wait. It’s win-win if you do not have them as your main gaming games.
Super Smart
- Price: Free
- Developer: Formondo
- Released: Oct 17, 2012
This sort of game is a little difficult to trust when it has a name that was clearly created by a dumb person. Never the less it is a good app for building up a bit of trivia knowledge and for playing a quiz game that has a bit more of an arcade feel to it. You answer questions and get things such as power-ups and your own avatar that you can customize. You can even pick the arcade or classic version to play.
