RAN Mobile is a free-to-use lifestyle app developed by Davino Mauro Junior. Essentially, this is the digital translation of the traditional rapid automatized naming (RAN) tests, which have medical applications. It contains the full catalog of tests, which users can administer to kids.

With coverage for all versions of the traditional test, RAN Mobile is a great help for parents and medical professionals. They can have this mobile app instead of books, flash cards, and test papers.

Administer RAN tests on the go

RAN Mobile lets users conduct RAN tests on the go. Rapid automatized testing tests a child’s ability to assign names to objects, characters, concepts, and more. One part of the test includes identifying all letters on the screen. Poor performance on a RAN test could be associated with risks of dyslexia and other learning and memory disabilities, prompting further evaluation of a child.

As mentioned, it contains all versions of the test—colors, letters, numbers, and simple objects. It is also easy for kids to use, thanks to its optimized design for touchscreen devices. It can also be used for different users, assigning an email address that would be used for sending the test results. However, certain parts of the test may contain objects whose colors are too bright to identify or distinguish.

A more accessible specialized test

RAN Mobile is a near-perfect translation of a standard test, allowing people to access, test, or administer it through their mobile devices. It covers all versions of the test for more comprehensive results, and it is generally easy to use. The main challenge of the app is that some parts might pose unintended challenges for the examinee, such as those with counterintuitive colors.
