Lumosity review

Lumosity is a strong pick for seniors who want a daily brain workout that feels like a set of games. The app offers 40+ games that adapt as you play, sorted by speed, memory, attention, flexibility, problem solving, math and words. A free 10-minute Fit Test sets baseline scores and compares them with others in your age group, which gives older players a useful reference point. Daily workouts are curated from your habits, so there is no need to pick games each day, and insights show strengths across games. Lumos Labs ran a randomized study with 4,715 participants who trained 15 minutes a day, five days a week, against a crossword control group, and reports greater gains on its assessments after 10 weeks, while saying more research is needed on everyday tasks. Premium adds the personalized training program and in-depth insights; we could not confirm the US price from this location. We compared documented features and published prices.
