1. 5/5Exactly what I was looking for!

   I work in a warehouse where attention to detail and undistractability (real word?) are crucial. This is the first app I’ve ever seen where they test more than vocabulary. There is a little of that, as well as math skills but my focus was the focus, the quick thinking, and the memory games. I play other Apps like Elevate for their language and math skills. This App was so perfect for me they it made me cry. I’ve been so frustrated with searching ways to improve my attention to detail (without just doing matching pieces or item search games) and accuracy under pressure and at speed. Nothing I’ve searched for even comes close to this, whether it was an app or a website. Everything I found was all “for the group in the work place” like a team building exercise or boss-to-employee motivational speech. Sorry I really have to shout here: THIS GAME FINALLY ANSWERED THE QUESTION OF HOW TO FIX MY BRAIN! I don’t know if the free version will really do it for some people but for me the paid version is well worth the price. I’m not sure I’ll do more than a year but you never know.

2. 5/5So Much Better than BrainHQ

   I started out playing the games on BrainHQ because I learned from the esteemed Dr. Mike Roizen that, in randomized studies, speed-of-processing games reduce the odds of getting Alzheimer’s by more than 40% after 18 hours of practice over 10 years (less than 2 hours/year). I didn’t enjoy the games of BrainHQ but made myself do them because the benefit could be so huge. Later, I told my cousin what I’d learned about speed-of-processing games because Alzheimer’s runs in our family. She told me she’d been been doing the games on Lumosity, so I gave them a try, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I started out doing the free daily exercises but very soon paid the $15 monthly fee so I could do all the exercises I want every day, and I like them so much that now I practice them all day long, even though 2 hours a year is all that’s needed. The animation on all the games is colorful and entertaining. Some games are just beautiful, others very funny or cute, and the sound effects are out of this world. I really like almost all the games. A few seem impossibly hard and a couple, way too easy, but most have a level that feels appropriately challenging, and all of them let you advance to higher and higher levels. There are a few, like Pet Detective (one of my favorites as far as the sound effects) that I find maddeningly difficult but, unlike most of them, don’t show you afterward what the correct answer would’ve been. It drives me nuts! Another game, Skyrise, kind of insults you by comparing your correct answers to the height or depth of famous landmarks, like Kilimanjaro or the Grand Canyon, which is absurdly irrelevant. Things like that make me feel babied, but, overall, playing the games is a great experience. It reduces my anxiety and improves my mood, even when I’m not thinking about the likely benefit to my brain. Highly recommended.

3. 2/5PREMIUM

   I don’t write reviews, ever, but I NEED this off my chest. I saw this app on some commercial on a game I play and thought it would be fun. It would help me rewind, make my brain work faster I guess, and, overall, rework my brain with its speed, attention and math, just like it was advertised. I downloaded, set up an account, went through the tests only to discover that Lumosity only worked well if you spent MONEY. You only get 3 games with the free version, can’t do the math portion and it won’t track you as a person. It’s horrible! Do not recommend! I’m only giving this two stars because if you’re not like me, and have money to spend on useless things like this, it might be worth your time. But it’s not worth mine and anyone who is just looking for a nice app to relax playing and learn a bit at the same time. My recommendations? Add a few more aspects to the FREE mode. Here’s one way: have half the games unlocked, the other locked for premium. Example: if you have 50 games, 25 of could be for free, and the 25 have to unlocked by paying. And don’t leave one option out, like you did with the math games. Have at least one. Also, add a tracking mechanism to the free one that is set up individually, and add a more highly functional one to the premium aspect. I don’t care honestly, just make it more than 3 games so I don’t get burnt out in 2 minutes and maybe this game would be worth it, because right now, it’s really not.

4. 2/5Terrible customer support

   I’ve been automatically billed for a monthly Lumosity subscription for close to 9 months, but each time I’ve tried to use the app, I’m locked out of the premium content *that I have been paying for*, and shown a screen giving me the option of signing up for a premium membership. Absolutely frustrating. After several attempts, I was able to get in touch with a Lumosity customer service rep whom I sent screenshots of my billing statements. The rep said I hadn’t been a subscriber according to their system since May 2018, and that Apple, rather than Lumosity, was in charge of handling refunds. Alright, that doesn’t solve the problem of the app not working as it should, but if I can get a refund for the months I haven’t had access to the app (since May 2018), I could be ok with that. I contact apple, and the maximum refund they offer is for a single month’s charge. Oh also, according to Apple, I still had an active subscription, so then the rep James at Lumosity not only failed to fix my issue of the app not unlocking content I had paid for, he gave incorrect information about my subscription status, and furthermore, didn’t seem interested in actually helping me resolve my issue. So ~$12 x 8 down the drain, and neither Lumosity nor Apple will take responsibility, it seems.

5. 4/5I can feel my brain working

   I gave Lumosity a try because I was having some memory issues. I play games like solitaire frequently, but don’t really feel like I’m exercising my brain. I could almost feel the cogs turning when I started up Lumosity. I’m in the middle of the premium upgrade trial right now, and although I love having the unlimited workouts, I probably won’t subscribe due to the fact that my only device is my iPhone 6. It’s difficult sometimes to hit the correct answers/letters on time on such a small device, and I feel like I would score higher if I had a bigger screen. If you have an iPad, go for the premium! The only complaint I have is that, when it gives you your scores at the end of each game, it doesn’t take the higher levels achieved into consideration. In other words, it appears I did a lot better when just starting out because of course it was easier to fill more coffee cups, solve more math problems, etc, at the lower level. It’s kind of discouraging in that way. But that being said, I love Lumosity. I feel it really helps. Just don’t let the scores get you down!
