Why a 3 rating? The exercises are much better than most similar apps, and the daily workout is quick, challenging, fun and varied; HOWEVER, denying access to your personal, cognitive analysis/quantitive data unless Premium is purchased is pretty much rubbed in your face throughout the app, and ultimately leaves you feeling like you are missing […]

Some of these games are as addicting as tetris. They are cute too. For example, there’s one with identical coy fish swimming slowly in a pond. A piece of food appears and you click on a fish to feed it. Two seconds later, you get another piece of food, and you try to feed each […]

The games on here challenge your focus, attention, memory, speed, and a number of other essential cognitive skills. The number of games are limited, but each focuses on a different cognitive skill. Some are “more fun” than others, but that just means the “less fun” ones are likely something I could stand to train more. […]

Great game, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the subscription. Notes for the developers: – Some games, such as Highway Hazard, are hard to play on bigger phones. The warnings are way too high above the street, so you can’t see both. – River Rangers do not give proper explanation on higher lever when […]

I really love this app and I paid for it for one year with the advertisement of new games. I never saw any new games so I finally canceled my premium subscription and went back to playing basic. I would be more than willing to pay for a yearly subscription if we got new games […]

Where are the “new” games Lumosity? I have played this for years with zero issues ever. I have paid for the Premium version to check out the games that are never available via the free version, than became bored and decided the cost for unlimited access to the games I favored wasn’t worth it, and […]

Used this app after a head concussion through my speech therapist’s office. I’m pretty disappointed it’s changed to where you can only access three games a day. Pretty sure you could check out a few in each category, then pay for more advanced/intricate games. If there is a free or cheaper option out there, someone […]

I’ve tried a good number of “brain training” apps, and Lumosity has a wide variety of legitimately fun and creative games. Rather than a chore, I look forward to the tests and often play my favorites throughout the day. I also remember playing the “Migration” game over a decade ago on PC, and I was […]

I’ve been using this site since I was probably 14/15 and it’s always been wonderful. I preferred when I didn’t have to pay a subscription, but I understand the need for it. It *is* worth the money, if you stick to it. Dropped one star because you can only play a few games from a […]

In all the ads I’ve seen for this app, I expected much, much more, and I’m honestly very disappointed. You have to pay for a premium account, and you only recieve 3 free daily games otherwise. Quite frankly, this disappointed me, as I was actually very excited to use this to my ability to learn […]

I really enjoy the times I get to squeeze in my daily workouts….I know it is best to have the premium subscription,but it is very enriching to simply redo more than once a day,the 3 that are available free. I like to believe these are helpful in keeping your brain sharp in some way…I think […]

The free premium trial was good. The games are fun. One HUGE problem, though. It costs 13 DOLLARS A MONTH(after free trial). After the trial, you only get 3 games, randomly chosen every day, not even a full “workout” apparently. The games are good, but not even CLOSE to being worth that much a month. […]

The coding and art is nice, but the app itself feels fairly useless – the mini games are cute, but don’t actually help with much and feel very rail-roaded. There are much better options out there for actual brain-training, depending on what focus you’re looking for (memory / language / math / etc.) and Lumosity […]

I really enjoy the free version of this app and plan on getting the paid version to access all the games. I only have one issue; I wish there were some metric in the free version that tells you how well you did in the game. In elevate, even in the free version, you’re graded […]

Very good even with only having the free play. This is a great game for sharpening you brain. The free games are well thought out and easy enough to play and enjoy. The cost for premium (subscription) is too costly in my opinion. But, the free games is what keeps me coming back. You get […]

I feel like I got ripped off. $60 feels like way too much for 40 games. It’s just the same games over & over again. They either become so difficult it’s frustrating, or when you’ve completed all the levels, there’s no more challenge. I loved tidal treasures when it first released but now I have […]

Lumosity and I have had an on again off again relationship when it comes to premium status. When I can work it into my budget, I do, it is absolutely worth it. The basic workout each day tends to revisit the same few games on rotation. I still love to complete those 3 games a […]

It’s a pretty great app! after a really bad car crash (not my fault), I was in the hospital and therapy centers for a little over a year. one of the speech therapists I had suggested lumosity to help my recovery along the way. all of the games are pretty incredible. I strongly believe the […]

i really enjoy this app. i used to use a lot on a different device a few years ago, and i decided to get it on this one. even though i am locked out of most of the games each day for not having premium, the three free daily ones are still really fun and […]

I like the challenges Lumosity uses for memory, logic, math, etc – for “brain training”. I use the free version. If I could play more often, I’d probably subscribe. I feel these are good mental exercises; especially as I get older. If you play daily, on the free version, you don’t know what challenges to […]
