Last week, we sent out an email about a new feature in BrainHQ. If you didn’t see it, I’d like to tell you about it now!
The new feature allows you to invite people—friends or family or whoever you want—to be part of your BrainHQ team. What that means is that if you train, they get notified. And if they train, you get notified. It’s just a way of helping to motivate one another!
All that is shared is that you trained (or they did) – no scores or progress. And you can invite people who haven’t used BrainHQ before. They can sign up for a free account and join your team.
I hope that you find this new feature as useful as I have. If you need any help with how to use it, visit our help center or send us a message at support@brainhq.com.

Do you have “popcorn brain”? Here’s what to do

Why is that, and what can you do about it? Find out.
