Genius Chimpanzee is a game that mimics the famous chimpanzee experiment where the short-term visual memory of chimpanzees and humans are compared. First subjects (you) are presented with sequence numbers scattered over the screen. After a short period of time the numbers disappear. Subsequently white panels are drawn on the screen. The subjects are asked to touch the panels in the order of the sequence number.
There are several video clips and research papers of these experiments uploaded on the Internet.
Search them using keywords such as chimpanzee

In my understanding chimpanzees have been shown to do much better than humans do.
However with much more training can humans outperform chimpanzees?
Try it.

Fullscreen immersive mode on Android 4.4 is supported. Hardware acceleration issue on some devices running Anrdoid 2.3 to 4.0 was sorted out.
Tablets are preferred for chimpanzees (they are not familiar with the tiny screen of smartphones).
