The games are:
* Heart Quest, in which you tap on the screen to send love to a robot and help him grow a heart. This tests for psychokinesis (mind-over-matter).
* Hidden Gurus, in which you predict where an image of a guru will appear. This tests for precognition (predicting the future).
* Future Feelings, in which you click on a happy or sad face to describe the mood of photographs. This tests for a unconscious form of precognition.
PsiQ was designed by a group of scientists, scholars, and Silicon Valley tech developers in collaboration with the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a nonprofit research organization founded by an Apollo astronaut to explore the frontiers of "inner space." The app was funded by grants from the Bial Foundation and the Hummingbird Fund, as well as several independent donors.

Cool. I like hidden gurus best.
Sciencey
My favorite is hidden gurus because i like to listen to try to predict the melody.

Been waiting for an app like this for a long time. Super cool graphics. Love that I can practice and get better.
Research tool

This is both a simple app and a research tool to study psi experiences among the general population. The look and feel are intentionally plain and simple to not overload the user, but it's important to read the short instructions too to understand what you're supposed to do!
High school science project???

This app was pretty terrible. It feels dated, what I mean by that is the text, graphics, and the pictures all look like they are from 1960's and 70's sci-fy books. The games themselves are not explained well and I feel like I missed the point and was not invested or interested after the playing them. I feel like this could have been made by a high-school student, not scientists that study psychic phenomenon. I am thankful that I did not spend any money or more time with this app. I also want to point out that there are some gross images in one of the games, mainly a toilet covered in human excrement. I was not expecting anything like that and honestly that was the last straw for me with this app.
Run! Get out of here, Sound the alarm!

I can't believe this app is coming from the Institute of Noetic Sciences, I expected far more. It looks and feels cheap, like someone who is interested in the field made it, not the leaders of the field! Very disappointed. Sad!
Bug?
Manicsayanara
Screen freezes on first question after login and consent, can't scroll or go back. IONS said must be poor internet connection, but that's not the problem. Disappointd!
Yes, there is a bug!

I haven’t been able to get past the second question (how strongly do I believe...) as it freezes every time. I can’t go back or move forward. I’m a big supporter of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, so was quite shocked by the low quality of this app. They need to hire someone really good to make a new app for them. I’ll keep trying. If they fix the bug, and I can get beyond the questionnaire, I’ll write a new review.
Not working

I was excited to download this app and participate but the screen is stuck at the first question.
