Mind Palace is the first mobile app that allows you to virtually attach your learning resources to objects in the world around you. This gives you permanent memory palaces and journeys which you can use to practice recalling the information you need to remember - say for an exam!
The idea is to get you revising out of the library by going for a walk, run or cycle, recalling the information along a route youve already built up in Mind Palace!
Mind Palace allows you to attach an array of different learning resources (including web pages, Youtube videos and text) to "palaces" and "journeys" of your photos - see the screenshots!
This method of learning, formally known as "The Method of Loci", has been used for millennia by politicians and actors and is scientifically proven to dramatically improve your recall of information compared to the usual learning techniques! It is also the common technique used by world Memory Champions to recall tens of thousands of consecutive numbers in order!
Mind Palace now integrates Spritz Speed Reader, a revolutionary reading tool that helps you read at speeds of up to 1000 words per minute. This is good for quickly committing large chunks of information to memory.
