-- NEW GLOBAL CHALLENGE MODE -- See how your Mnemonica skills stack up against other magicians around the world --- WHY THIS MNEMONICA APP? I’ve been searching for the perfect Mnemonica app for a long time, something that was engaging, made me want to learn, and something that actually worked. So, after wasting time and money on other apps I decided to make my own, built with everything I wanted that the other apps simply did not provide. FUN AND ADDICTING The Ultimate Mnemonica Trainer is not actually a “trainer”… it is a game. I realized I liked playing games on my phone and I was compelled to finish these games because of their addicting nature. If I could make learning Mnemonica as addicting as these games I felt that I would be more likely to stick with it... and I was right! HOW DOES IT WORK? You start out on Level 1 which presents you with a card, 4 possible answers as to what number in the stack the card is, 3 lives, and 30 seconds. Each time you match the card with the correct number you get a point. (As you go on to different levels the questions change format... read below) 13 Points to move to the next level and you get 1 star 16 Points is 2 stars 18 Points is 3 stars LEARNING IN CHUNKS The game is broken up into 7 stages with 8 levels each: Stage 1: Cards 1- 13 Stage 2: Cards 14-26 Stage 3: Cards 1- 26 Stage 4: Cards 27-39 Stage 5: Cards 39- 52 Stage 6: Cards 27-52 Stage 6: Cards 1-52 This is because breaking Mnemonica into bite sized chunks will maximize your ability to learn it quickly and retain the knowledge. MIX UP LEARNING METHODS Each stage has 8 levels, each with a different way to learn the stack. When you mix up how to learn this accomplishes two things… 1. It keeps you interested 2. It prepares you for real world situations LEVELS 1, 2, AND 3: THE BASICS These are the basic “what card is what number” and “what number is what card” multiple choice questions. If you get an answer wrong it will show you what the right answer is. Using this method, if you have never looked at the Mnemonica stack before, you will be able to memorize each set in about 15-20 minutes. These levels are perfect for learning the basics. LEVELS 4, 5, AND 6: WHAT COMES BEFORE AND WHAT COMES AFTER Other trainers gave you the option to choose what number is what card and what card is what number… In real world scenarios you need to know what comes after and what comes before a card on the bottom or the top of the deck. So Three levels are dedicated to just having you answer what comes next or what comes before. These levels are perfect for cementing the basics and improving speed. LEVEL 7: NO MORE MULTIPLE CHOICE At this point our minds start to get used to multiple choice. In the real world there we do not get 4 options to choose from, we have to KNOW what number the card is. On this level you there is no multiple choice, you type in the number the card shown is. LEVEL 8: PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER Level 8 mixes all of the techniques together to test your mastery of the stage. MASTER MNEMONICA If you get 3 stars on every level, I guarantee that you will have mastered Mnemonica to the point where you don’t even have to think “what number is this card” or “what is after the 3 of hearts” when you are performing in the real world. You will just know… ---KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY--- You do need to login to this app. This is because your game progress is backed up in the cloud. This protects you from losing your game progress due to app updates, new phones, etc. This also helps me troubleshoot, or unlock levels if requested. ---
Horribly unintuitive
Unintuitive and unclear as to how to use. In fact the FAQs explain things that don’t need explaining and don’t bother explaining other things. Waste of money.
Great tool.
Not easy but a great way to learn the stack.
Really good.
Really awesome and tough. Which is why you need to perform with absolute confidence. Master this and you are golden.
Great Tool for Speeding Up are all!
I’ve loved using this tool to increase my recall speed after I learned the stack. My only suggestion would be to add more “game” like functionality. One example may be to call out positions of all of the values of each suit in order (AH,2H,3H,4H,etc...). Another may be to call out the positions of each 4 of a kind, or other various poker hands. I do love the overall star system, though. Maybe just a couple of these other “bonus games” once we’ve “mastered” what’s been given.
Great tool
This is a great idea. Only criticism is the pips should be bigger on the court cards. It’s very hard to distinguish hearts from diamonds and clubs from spades quickly.
Memorize In No Time!
This is app is simple and effective. The design is clean. The exercises are straight forward. My recommended approach: Dive right in. Don’t bother learning a mnemonic system first. The exercises build off each other so it’s easy to lock small chunks into memory. Do each level until you get at least one star. Once you finish the 8 levels with one star. Repeat until you have two, then three. At this point you’re ready to move to the next stack of 13 cards. The goal of the above approach is to quickly build a foundation. A year ago I tried to learn the Aronson stack. I wasted so much time trying to memorize a mnemonic system before using the app. You don’t need it. Just dive in.
Great app
Great app and hard! Mnemonica is hard and you shouldn’t be preforming with it if you can’t play this game.
