It's impossible to go fast enough to get 3 stars on some levels. My fingers are sore from all the scrolling.
Hint for if you get to take a photo bit. Wait until you see the red dot in the circles then shoot!
I have contributed two days of research apparently. Hope they saw my frustration with the game too confused

We probably all are Lona grin

I tried it and then deleted it! I don't think it's a very good app. It doesn't work smoothly.
I'm doomed! grin

It is starting to make me feel a bit queasy and I am just not going fast enough!

Thank goodness yours does that too nfk'- I thought I'd really, really lost the plot. Although, I'm not as far along as you yet! And, doesn't it nag if you don't do it often. I had rwo messages overnight.

Okay.... My little boat keeps stopping and I can't get it going again! An arrow goes forward, but wherever I tap I'm still dead in the water. I need a lifeboat and mechanic to rescue me and restart my little engine!

It started off really easy and I got three stars every time and I was starting to think it was too easy - but now it's got harder! Keeps telling me to go faster - but then I hit icebergs! Now off for my morning practice.

It doesn't prevent dementure individually, it's for research. Apparently we're helping them understand how our brains work and process stuff.

I suspect it shows if we have any tendency towards debenture. The game appears to be about remembering a route etc.

Is it to stop us getting Alzheimer's or prove we have it already?

kittylester Mon 09-May-16 16:52:14

It's very slow which is why I think I couldn't understand it. Plus, I'm not very good at it.

Won't load onto a kindle fire apparently. Shame.

grin kitty well at least you've managed the download. I don't have a Google account so at the moment I can't get it.

kittylester Mon 09-May-16 11:15:22

I was going to ask that, so thank you nina. Now, can anyone tell me how it works. I've got a boat bobbing up and down on the water with a lifebelt, a flag and a pot of paint under it - what am I meant to do now?

Or does that just prove that it's too late for me now? confused

Thank you that's the one grin

I have just stared playing one called Sea Hero which helps research.
Not pirates but a sea voyage and following maps. I saw it on BBC Breakfast time. You can download it as an App

Can't remember who posted about this or the thread title.
Please can someone tell me and D what it's called or better still post link.
Thank you.
