The number of corners on the figure increases or decreases by one for every cell: triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon. The rule can run to the right, downwards or both. The circle is not included; it has no corners to count.
It is a step by step change in the shape instead of the number. It is missed because the shapes look different rather than like a series, and because the difference between six and seven corners is small on screen. Count, do not guess.
The bottom right cell is the answer, marked. The explanation below the matrix is the same text the app gives.
Level 2 in the app. The same example is shown in the app after a wrong answer on this rule. Rules in the example: Number of sides.
