IQ Mental Impulse review – results locked behind paywall

With this, and frankly with all apps, it's important to read the fine print. They are pretty clear that after 3 days, you will have to subscribe and pay. It also seems like they are disclosing it may be difficult to cancel. Buyer beware.

Also, the best way to warn other potential users is to leave a review.

From their App Store page:

That means you were directed to their website to take the quiz. This happens usually from a Social Media post and sometimes there may be a website advertisement. A Social Media poster was paid a referral fee and a website would have been paid for an advertisement. The free trial is then started with that company directly and not managed by Apple where you would see the subscription on your Apple Account and be able to cancel it.

Here is what that company says about cancelling a free trial/subscription enabled from their website:

If you purchased a subscription or enabled free trial on our website: You can cancel

a free trial or a subscription by contacting our support at support@brainimpulse.me or by

clicking on “Cancel Subscription” button in your account on our website before the end of

the free trial or then-current subscription period.

If you are unable to get the results you want by cancelling the subscription or getting a refund, then your only option is to dispute the charge like you did with the payment method used.

It`s giving: "Let them do the work, then charge them" 😑

Yeah this happened to me too. I really thought I`d get some feedback. Not even a teaser, just a hard wall

This made me so mad! 35 minutes of my life gone just to see a payment screen

Apps like this should be forced to disclose that results are paywalled. It`s not even about the money - it`s about honesty.

I liked the test design actually, but you`re right - zero transparency. It`s weird they don`t just say upfront that it`s a trial with no results until you pay

Just want to say thanks for writing this. I was going to let my little cousin try it for fun but now I know better 🙏

You should write a review for the app in the App Store. That is where other users will see it when they are looking to download the app.

I dont have the app though so that means it somehow charged me without me getting the app. I have disputed this charge & I have to get a new account # for my credit card now. How aggravating.
