This free app (Android and iOS no Web version) calls itself “your personal brain trainer” and provides daily challenges (created by experts in neuroscience and cognitive thinking) to improve your comprehension and focus. I just wish the free version offered more variety.Įlevate is similar to Lumosity in many ways. I honestly can’t tell if Lumosity is making me smarter, but I did feel more alert after playing it. You won’t mistake most of these titles for something mind-numbing like Candy Crush, and while that may be the point, these games are not as much fun, either.Įlevate’s brain games are beautifully designed but feel more like work than play. Speed Match requires you to identify whether the card shown features the same shape as the previous card – a task that’s harder than it sounds, and gets progressively more difficult as you play. Memory Matrix features patterns of tiles that you have to recreate. Ebb and Flow features colored leaves moving you have to swipe in different directions based on which direction they are traveling or pointing. The games themselves are mostly enjoyable. Paying for a Premium account also gets you the ability to compare your test scores to others’ (though the free version offers a little bit of context for your test results) and in-depth tracking of your results. If you pay $12 per month (or $60 per year) for a Premium account, you can access 23 mobile games and 40 more online.
