CogniFit review

CogniFit is the most measurement-focused option here, which suits seniors who want numbers on how their memory and focus change. Its Brain Age score compares your performance with your actual age, and daily and weekly cognitive scores from 0 to 100 track memory, focus, coordination, reasoning and perception, plus up to 22 other abilities such as processing speed and reaction time. Training sessions adjust difficulty and pace to your results, and a custom weekly plan fits around your routine. More than 100 games, including Mahjong, Penguin Explorer and Reaction Field, add variety, and Video Coaches guide each step. CogniFit says it builds on more than 20 years of published research and that its training system is used by universities and hospitals. The listing quotes $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year in USD, and the website offers three games to try free. The assessment focus and many plan tiers make it less casual than a puzzle app. We compared documented features and published prices.
